description This is the first report to identify the presence of 3-<i>O</i>-caffeoyl quinic acid (<b>1</b>), 4-<i>O</i>-caffeoyl quinic acid (<b>2</b>), 5-<i>O</i>-caffeoyl quinic acid (<b>3</b>), epi-catechin (<b>4</b>), and procyanidin B2 (<b>5</b>) in the young propagules of <i>Rhizophora mucronata</i>. Compounds <b>2</b>–<b>5</b> were purified and then treated against breast, colorectal, and ovarian cancer cell lines for 72 h and the results of the Sulphorhodomine-B (SRB) assay were evaluated for percent cell viability and IC<sub>50</sub> values. Epi-catechin, 4-<i>O</i>-caffeoyl quinic acid, 5-<i>O</i>-caffeoyl quinic acid and procyanidin B2 showed strong to moderate inhibitory effects when treated on breast (T47D), colorectal (HT29), and ovarian (A2780, SKOV3) cancer cell lines with IC<sub>50</sub> values ranging from 16.77 ± 0.58 to 28.28 ± 0.89 μg/mL. <i>In silico</i> evaluation was performed to evaluate the drug-likeness and toxicological effects of these compounds using Molinspiration calculation and OSIRIS program. It was found that compounds <b>2</b>, <b>3</b>, and <b>4</b> have the potential to be orally active and have a low risk in exerting the mutagenic, tumorigenic, irritant, and reproductive effects.
