Sesame ( Sesamum indicum  L.) seeds are popular nutritional food but with limited knowledge about their antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of various varieties. Phytochemical profiles and antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of six varieties of sesame ( Sesamum indicum  L.) seeds were studied.  Fenheizhi3  (black) cultivar exhibited the maximum contents of total phenolics and lignans and values of total oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and antiproliferative activity (EC 50 ) against HepG2 cells. Bound ORAC values showed strong associations with bound phenolics contents ( r  = 0.976,  p  < 0.01); in bound phenolic extracts, EC 50  values showed strong negative associations with phenolic contents ( r  = −0.869,  p  < 0.05) and ORAC values ( r  = −0.918,  p  < 0.01). Moreover, the contents of free phenolics were higher than that of the bound phenolics, and the three black sesame seeds generally depicted higher total phenolics compared to the three white varieties. The antioxidant (ORAC values) and antiproliferation activities of six sesame seeds were both associated with contents of bound phenolics ( r  > 0.8,  p  < 0.05). Interestingly, nonlignan components in bound phenolics contributed to the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities. This study suggested that  Fenheizhi3  variety is superior to the other five varieties as antioxidant supplements.
