The phenolic acids content of methanolic extracts before and after acidic hydrolysis of different morphological parts of Chenopodium rubrum was determined by LC-ESI-MS/MS. Overall eleven phenolic acids were detected and quantified. The most common were p-coumaric, ferulic and salicylic acids, which were present in all analyzed extracts. Gallic, caffeic, vanillic, syringic and sinapic acids were found in bound forms. Gentisic acid was most abundant in roots (3.7 mg/100g d.w.), syringic acid in stalks (2.9 mg/100 g d.w.), ferulic acid in leaves (6.0 mg/100g d.w.), and protocatechuic acid in seeds (2.3 mg/100g d.w.). The highest concentration of examined acids was found in leaves (19.1 mg/100g d.w.) and roots (10.0 mg/100g d.w.). Cytotoxic activity of extracts was tested against human cancer cell lines HTB 140, WM 793, Du 145 and normal PNT2 cells. Only the seed extract showed activity against malignant melanoma WM 793 cell line (69.6 ± 0.7% of dead cells at 100 μg/mL).

A novel series of 2-(aryldiazenyl)-3-methyl-1H-benzo[g]indole derivatives (3a–f) were prepared through the cyclization of the corresponding arylamidrazones, employing polyphosphoric acid (PPA) as a cyclizing agent. All of the compounds (3a–f) were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS, elemental analysis, and melting point techniques. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against diverse human cancer cell lines by the National Cancer Institute. While all of the screened compounds were found to be cytotoxic at a 10 µM concentration, two of them (2c) and (3c) were subjected to five dose screens and showed a significant cytotoxicity and selectivity.

Hemiasterlin is a potent antimitotic agent acting through inhibition of microtubule depolymerization. For this reason, the synthesis of new hemiasterlin derivatives has attracted a lot of interest in the organic chemistry community recently. In this paper, the synthesis and evaluation of the cytotoxicity of new simplified and racemic hemiasterlin derivatives were reported. All of the synthesized analogues were evaluated in vitro for cytotoxic activity against four human cell lines (KB, Hep-G2, LU and MCF7). Most of these analogues possess a strong cytotoxic activity on two human cancer cell lines (KB and Hep-G2) and very weak activity on LU and MCF7 cell lines.

Objective: The current study is carried out to evaluate cytotoxicity activity of the methanolic extracts of some medicinal plants (Buchanania axillaris Desr, Tamilnadia ulignosa Retz, Phaseolus semierectus L and Stylosanthes fruticosa Retz).Methods: Cytotoxicity activity was evaluated on human cancer cell lines such as lung cancer (A549) and skin cancer (A431) using MTT assay method.Results: The selected plant extracts showed the dose-dependent cytotoxicity activity on the tested cell lines. The cytotoxicity variations on different cell lines were also observed for tested plants extracts. The cytotoxicity of the extracts was increased as the concentration of them was increased. Among all tested plants extracts Phaseolus semierectus showed the better cytotoxicity activity on tested cell lines.Conclusion: The results of the present study supported the folkloric usage of the studied plants and confirmed that the plant's extracts have the bioactive constituents with cytotoxic properties and their isolation can be useful for developing new anticancer drugs.

Abstract Seven flavonoids isolated from chloroform , ethyl acetate and butanol extracts, obtained from the aerial parts of Retama sphaerocarpa, have been assessed for cytotoxic activity against three human cancer cell lines: TK-10 (renal adenocarcinom a), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinom a) and UACC-62 (m elanom a), using the SRB assay. All of them , extracts and flavonoids, were actives in, at least, one of the three cell lines at the recom m ended N ational C ancer Institute doses. They produce a d ose-dependent inhibition of cell grow th at concentrations in the 10-6-10-4 ᴍ and 25 -250 μg/ml range for the flavonoids and extracts respectively, being the flavonol rhamnazin the most cytotoxic.

Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb.) DC (Rutaceae) is a traditional medicine used for the treatment of various diseases like toothache, gingivitis, fever, colic vomiting, diarrhea, and cholera. Three new alkaloids, zanthocadinanine C (1), 7-methoxy-8-demethoxynitidine (2), and zanthonitiside I (3) were isolated from the stems and twigs of Z. nitidum. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic, including 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy data. Compounds 1–3 were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against 5 human cancer cell lines, KB, MCF-7, LNCaP, HepG-2, and LU-1. Compound 2 showed significant cytotoxic activity against all tested human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 10.3 to 12.6 µM.

Luvunga scandens belongs to the family of Rutaceae which usually inhabit tropical and moist environment. This plant is known as ‘Mengkurat Jakun’ among locals and used traditionally to treat fever and fatigue via decoction. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxic activity of the leaves and stems extracts of L. scandens extract. Extracts of the leaves and stems were obtained from sequential extraction procedures by various organic solvents. All extracts were subjected to cytotoxic study by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthaizol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. In in vitro cytotoxicity assay, all L. scandens extracts exhibited cytotoxicity against human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cell lines. The IC50 values of dichloromethane and methanol extracts from the leaves of L. scandens against MCF-7 cell line were 62.5 µg/mL and 88.0 µg/mL, respectively, whereas IC50 of methanol extract from stem was 81.0 µg/mL. All extracts were less active against A549 cell line where IC50 value were not be determined. The present findings revealed the potential of L. scandens as a cytotoxic agent against MCF-7 cell line. However, further studies should be planned to evaluate role of the plant in cytotoxic activity.
