Consumption of brown rice is associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases, which might be attributed to the presence of unique phytochemicals. This study aimed to evaluate phytochemicals profile, cellular antioxidant and anti-proliferative activities in glutinous and non-glutinous brown rice varieties of indica and japonica subspecies. In general, bound fractions of brown rice depicted significant variation levels of phytochemicals, antioxidant and anti-proliferative activities. Anti-proliferative activity of bound fraction, total antioxidant capacity and cellular antioxidant activity of non-glutinous type were significantly higher than glutinous type (p < 0.05). Present investigation could be significant to introduce brown rice as functional foods and to increase awareness about health benefits of whole grain.

食用糙米与降低慢性病风险有关，这可能归因于独特的植物化学物质的存在。本研究旨在评估在糯米和非糯性糙米品种的植物化学物质轮廓，细胞抗氧化和抗增殖活性籼稻和粳稻亚种。通常，糙米的结合级分显示出植物化学物质，抗氧化剂和抗增殖活性的显着变化水平。非糯型的结合部分的抗增殖活性，总抗氧化能力和细胞抗氧化活性均显着高于糯型（p <0.05）。当前的调查对于引入糙米作为功能性食品并提高人们对全谷类食品健康益处的认识可能具有重要意义。
