This study aims to shed light on the phytochemical composition and the biological effect of two members of family  Aizoaceae, Lampranthus glaucus  and  Lampranthus aurantiacus.  Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to investigate the lipoidal matter and the phenolic content, respectively. The MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 (breast cancer), HepG2 (liver cancer) and HCT-116 (colorectal cancer) cell lines. The total phenolic acids and the total flavonoid content of  L. glaucus  were found to be higher than that of  L. aurantiacus.  Phytol, hexadecanoic acid,  p -coumaric, ferulic and  p - hydroxybenzoic acids were the major detected compounds. Both the petroleum ether and the ethyl acetate extracts of the two plants showed significant cytotoxic activity (IC 50  ranging from 15to 27 µg/mL) against the tested cell lines compared to 5-fluorouracil used as a reference standard.
