Syzygium Cumini

Ethanol extract of Syzygium cumini (jamblang) leaves reveal its significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity which perform the potential activity of this plant extract as antidiabetic agent. However, other bioactivities of this plant extract have been reported. The aim of current study was to evaluate the comparison of in vitro antidiabetic, antioxidant and cytotoxic activity of S. cumini fractions. The S. cumini leaves ethanol extract was fractionated by using column chromatography with n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol as eluents. Seven fractions were obtained from column chromatography (F1-7). The results showed that the best antidiabetic activity was found in F5 (93% α-glucosidase inhibitory activity), the best antioxidant activity was found in F4 (83% inhibition of DPPH free radical) and the best cytotoxic activity was found in F2 (69% growth inhibition of T47D breast cancer cell line). Therefore besides in vitro antidiabetic activity, fractions of S. cumini leaves ethanol extract also showed antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. Since the results showed that the most active fractions for antidiabetic, antioxidant and cytotoxicity were differed, it could be possible to isolate the different potential active compounds for each activity.Keywords : Syzygium cumini, α-glucosidase inhibitor, DPPH, cytotoxicity

Sarcopoterium spinosum (L.) is a medicinal plant traditionally used for the treatment of various diseases including cancer in the Near- and Middle East. The fractions and constituents of the ethanol extract of S. spinosum were screened for in vitro cytotoxic activities on Jurkat (acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia), HeLa (cervical adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (mammary gland adenocarcinoma), Caco-2 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma), and MDA-MB-231 (mammary gland adenocarcinoma) cell lines using the MTT (3-(dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. The ethanol extract was subsequently re-extracted with ethyl acetate and in its sub-fraction obtained by column chromatography three compounds (stachydrine, benzalkonium chloride and rutine) were the first time identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. The most active subfraction showed cytotoxic activity against HeLa, MCF-7, and Caco-2 cell lines. The three compounds mentioned, as standards of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quality, were studied individually and in combination. Cytotoxic activity observed might be due to the presence of benzalkonium chloride and rutin. Benzalkonium chloride showed the strongest growth suppression effect against HeLa cells (IC50 8.10−7 M) and MCF-7 cells (IC50 5.10−6 M). The mixture of stachydrine and benzalkonium chloride allowed a synergistic cytotoxic effect against all tested cancer and normal cells to be obtained. Anti-cancer activity of the plant extract of S. spinosum remains under-investigated, so this research describes how the three major compounds identified in the ethyl acetate extract can exert a significant dose dependent in vitro cytotoxicity.

Many studies have shown the anti-cancer activities of the chemical compounds extracted from the leaves of Annona muricata or soursop plant. Cianjur and Sukabumi are quite large soursop producing area in Indonesia. This study was carried out to determine the difference of cytotoxic activity of soursop leaves ethanolic extract which were harvested from three different areas of Cianjur (I, II, III) and Sukabumi (I, II, III). The Soursop leaves were macerated with 70% ethanol using microwave assisted extraction (MAE) method. The extract was tested in vitro on breast cancer cell line MCF7 and its constituent was identified using GC-MS apparatus. The results showed that the highest cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 9.12 µg ml-1 was determined on the extract of soursop leaves harvested from Cianjur III area. Qualitative identification of chemical constituent shows that the soursop leaves contain alkaloid, flavonoid, triterpenoid, tannin and saponin compounds. No steroid compound was detected in the extract. It can be concluded that the geographical regions affected the biochemical properties of soursop leaves.

Objective: The present study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro cytotoxic activity and α- amylase inhibitory activity of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). Methods: The cytotoxic activity was conducted on HT-29 (human colon cancer cell line) and PA-1 (human ovarian cancer cell line) by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay and the α- amylase inhibitory activity using acarbose as a standard. Both the tests were evaluated at different concentrations, 3.125–100 μg/ml and 50–2000 μg correspondingly and the concentration required for a 50% inhibition of viability (IC50) was determined graphically. The effect of the samples on the proliferation of HT-29 and PA-1 was expressed as the percentage cell viability. Results: SDG exhibited a considerable dose- and time-dependent inhibition on both HT-29 and PA-1 and also observed a concentration-dependent α-amylase inhibitory activity that leads in reduction of starch hydrolysis and hence eventually to lowered glucose levels. Conclusion: The present in vitro study concluded that SDG can be a potent anticancer and moderate hyperglycemic component.

Introduction: Hymenosporum flavum (Hook.) F. Muell. is the sole species within the genus Hymenosporum is known for its antimicrobial activity. The current study aims to examine the prospective activity of H. flavum as a safe supporter of sorafenib (as a reference standard) against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Isolation and identification of compounds were made by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. A fingerprint for the plant extract was done using HPLC-MS/MS spectrometric analysis. The total plant extract was examined in vitro for HCC activity. The isolated flavonoids were examined for their cytotoxic activities using molecular docking studies against both RAF-1 and ERK-2, and the promising compounds were further examined in vitro using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results: Two new flavonols were isolated from the leaf extract of H. flavum (Hook.) F. Muell., quercetin-3-O-(glucopyranosyl 1→2 ribopyranoside) (1) and kaempferol-3-O-(glucopyranosyl 1→2 ribopyranoside) (2), accompanying other six known flavonoids (3-8), and identified via spectroscopic analysis. Moreover, HPLC- PDA/MS/MS spectrometric analysis revealed the presence of seventy phenolic metabolites. The cytotoxic activity of the plant extract confirmed its potential action on HepG2 cells indicated by the production level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) upon treatment compared with the normal cells. The isolated flavonoids were examined for their cytotoxic activity using molecular docking studies against both RAF-1 and ERK-2 as proposed mechanisms of their anticancer activities. Furthermore, compounds 1 and 3, which showed the best in silico results, were further examined in vitro using qRT-PCR. They exhibited promising inhibitory activities against both RAF-1 and ERK-2 gene expression. Moreover, they showed promising cytotoxic activities indicated by the MTT assay. Also, both of them improved the efficiency of sorafenib in targeting both RAF-1 and ERK-2 pathways suggesting synergistic combinations. Conclusion: Our findings showed the potential cytotoxic activity of H. flavum extract on HepG2 cells. Some isolated compounds (1 & 3) exhibited promising inhibitory activities against both RAF-1 and ERK-2 gene expression giving a lead future study for these compounds to be used in pharmaceutical preparations either alone or in combination with sorafenib.

Objective: The main objective of this work was to synthesize and evaluate the novel 2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazole and 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole derivatives for cytotoxic activities. Methods: The 2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives 4a-h were synthesized by cyclization of N'-(substituted-benzylidene) isonicotinohydrazide 3a-e in refluxing acetic anhydride. The 2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives 4a-h were converted into the corresponding 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazoles 5a-h using ammonia. All the synthesized compounds were identified, depending on the physical and spectral data. Title compounds were assessed for their cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell line (MCF-7) by using Sulforhodamine B (SRB) colorimetric assay. Results: All the synthesized compounds showed characteristic peaks in FTIR, 1HNMR and Mass spectral analysis. The results of the in vitro cytotoxic activity revealed that the compound 4c exhibited equipotent cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 8.04 µM when compared with that of standard drug doxorubicin (IC50= 8.02 µM). The reminder compounds have shown good to moderate cytotoxic activities when compared with that of a reference standard. Conclusion: We synthesized a series of title compounds in quantitative yields. Most derivatives showed moderate to good cytotoxic activity.

Ingenol Mebutate

Ingenol mebutate, isolated from Euphorbia peplus, is an ingenane-type diterpenoid, primarily used for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis, a premalignant skin condition. The aim of our work was to investigate other Euphorbia species to find structurally similar diterpenes that can be used as alternatives to ingenol mebutate. Pharmacological investigation of Euphorbia candelabrum, Euphorbia cotinifolia, Euphorbia ramipressa, and Euphorbia trigona revealed the potent keratinocyte (HPV-Ker cell line) inhibitory activity of these spurge species. From the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Euphorbia trigona Miller, the most active species, five ingol (1–5) and four ingenane-type diterpenoids (6–9) were isolated by various chromatographic separation techniques, including open column chromatography, vacuum liquid chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography. The structures of the compounds were determined by NMR spectroscopic analysis and by comparison of the assignations with the literature data. The cytotoxic activity of the compounds against keratinocytes was tested in vitro by using ingenol mebutate as a positive control. Among the isolated compounds, two ingenane derivatives (6 and 7) exhibited remarkably stronger cytotoxic activity (IC50 values 0.39 μM and 0.32 μM, respectively) on keratinocytes than ingenol mebutate (IC50 value 0.84 μM). These compounds could serve as starting materials for further investigations to find alternatives to Picato® (with active substance ingenol mebutate), which was withdrawn from marketing authorization in the European Union.

Rosmarinus officinalis, which belongs to the Lamiaceaefamily, is a species of medicinal flora with therapeutic properties. In order to exploit the benefits of these properties, a mouthwash formulation was developed, with careful selection of raw materials to meet pharmacotechnical requirements. Extracts of the plant were incorporated into a mouthwash, which was shown to have inhibitory action in vitro against the micro-organisms commonly found in periodontics. Controls for assessing the quality of the drugs were carried out, quantifying phenols and flavonoids as chemical markers. Mouthwash solutions were formulated containing 0.1, 5 and 10% ethanol extract of R. officinalis; and 0.05, 5 and 10% of the hexane fraction of R. officinalis. In order to evaluate synergism, ethanol extract and hexane fraction were also added to formulations containing 0.05% sodium fluoride and 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate. These formulations were assessed for inhibitory effect against the specific microorganisms involved in the process of bacterial plaque formation, S. mutans(ATCC25175) and C. albicans(ATCC 10231), frequently found in cases of oral infections. The agar diffusion method was used to evaluate the inhibitory activity of extracts and formulations. All mouthwash solutions displayed inhibitory activity having higher sensitivity to S. mutansfor the 5% ethanol extract+0.05% sodium fluoride, and greater sensitivity to C. albicansfor the 10% hexane fraction. Results were characterized by the appearance of a growth inhibition halo, justifying the utilization and association of extracts of R. officinalis.
