Objective: In the current study, an extract of turmeric rhizome (Turmesac®) was evaluated for possible anticancer activity in human cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cells. Methods: Turmesac®’s ability to elicit cytotoxicity in cancer cells was evaluated by (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay (MTT) assay, where the IC50 value was determined. Apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest were analyzed by flow cytometry post-Turmesac® IC50 value treatment for 24 h. Results: The determined IC50 value of Turmesac® in HeLa cells was 115.12 μg/ml. This concentration was able to induce apoptosis 2 times greater than the apoptotic standard, camptothecin, treated cells. Cell cycle arrest was observed at the G0/G1 and S phases in Turmesac® treated HeLa cells. Conclusion: Turmesac® shows the potential of being a promising anticancer agent that may be incorporated into chemotherapies, but further study is required to elucidate the exact mechanisms involved with longer treatment duration, as would be the case in clinical trial phases.

<p class="Abstract">The primary objective of the current work was to investigate the antitumor potential of <em>Primula macrophylla</em> extracts in human colon cancer cell line (Colo-205) along with evaluating the effects on apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest and mitochondrial membrane potential. Cell viability was assessed by tetrazolium-based MTT assay. Flow cytometry measurement was carried out to assess the effect of the extract on cell cycle phase distribution and mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Results showed that <em>P.  macrophylla</em> methanol extract was effective and exhibited highest cell growth inhibition (IC<sub>50</sub> value, 26.17 μg/mL). Methanol extract significantly increased the side-scattering profile of Colo-205 cells in concentration-dependent pattern. Exposure of Colo-205 cells with different concentrations of the methanol extract (0-80 μg/mL) caused dose-dependent G0/G1 cell cycle arrest along with inducing apoptotic cascade by increasing the population of cells at G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, methanol extract treatment caused an increase in mitochondrial membrane depolarization in Colo-205 cells.</p><p class="Abstract"><strong>Video Clip of Methodlogy</strong> (3 min 17 sec): <a href="https://youtube.com/v/yy-rCjDN830">Click</a>  <a href="https://youtube.com/watch?v=yy-rCjDN830">If failed</a></p>

<p class="Abstract">The present study was aimed at to demonstrate the antitumor effects of syringin in HeLa human cervical cancer cells. Its effects on apoptosis, cell cycle phase distribution as well as on cell migration were also examined. The effect on cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay, while as effects on colony formation were assessed using clonogenic assay. Syringin inhibited cancer cell growth in HeLa cells in a time-dependent as well as in a concentration-dependent manner. Syringin also led to inhibition of colony formation efficacy with complete suppression at 100 µM drug dose. Syringin could induce G2/M cell cycle arrest along with slight sub-G1 cell cycle arrest. HeLa cells began to emit red fluorescence as the dose of syringin increased from 0 µM in vehicle control to 100 µM. Syringin also inhibited cell migration in a dose-dependent manner with 100 µM dose of syringin leading to 100% inhibition of cell migration.</p><p> </p>
