Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of A3AR agonist (ABMECA) against human lung cancer cell line A549 by using 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Methods: Adenocarcinoma cell line A549 was used to assess MTT based cells viability. In vitro cytotoxic activity was evaluated for 3 different concentration of doxorubicin and A3AR by MTT cytotoxicity assay. Cytotoxicity assay carried out for 3 consecutive days that involves culturing cells into Dulbecco’s MEM medium modified with 10% FBS for 24 h then treatment with different dose of standard and test drug with incubation period of 24 h followed by treatment with MTT for estimation of cytotoxicity and finally, optical density (OD) was measured at 570-630 nm. Results: Different concentration of doxorubicin (1, 5, 10 µM) and ABMECA (10-6M, 10-5M and 10-4M) shown dose-dependent cytotoxicity. There was a significant decrease (p<0.05) in cell viability in both doxorubicin and ABMECA concentration in a dose-dependent manner. This study may guide further for in vivo evaluation of test drug in the lung cancer model. Conclusion: A3 Adenosine Receptor agonist could be potential moiety for the treatment of lung cancer and it would require in vivo study for further research.

Populus nigra L. is a plant from Salicaceae family, native in Europe. Many parts of this tree can be used as active ingredients, but the most valuable are the buds. In recent years, a growing number of studies reported their activity in the development of a wide range of pharmacological activities including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the phytochemical composition and to evaluate the inorganic elements’ concentration as well as the in vitro antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic potential of a Populus nigra L. buds extract collected from Timișoara (Romania) against A549 human lung cancer cell line. Populus nigra L. bud extract was found to contain twelve different phenolic compounds. The inorganic elements concentrations were below the limit of detection for Co, Pb, and As, whereas Cu = 6.66 µg/g; Cr = 0.79 µg/g; Ni = 3.28 µg/g; Fe = 39.00 µg/g; Zn = 14.84 µg/g; Mn = 0.59 µg/g; Al = 2109.87 µg/g; and Cd = 0.019 µg/g. The extract was tested for the in vitro antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic potential on A549 human lung cancer cell line using different concentrations, namely 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150 μg/mL. Results have shown that poplar bud extract induced a significant decrease of tumor cell viability in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 = 72.49 μg/mL and blocked the cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Phenomena of early apoptosis (from 1.34 ± 0.33% control cells to 2.68 ± 0.62% at 150 µg/mL) and late apoptosis (from 1.43 ± 0.14% control cells to 5.15 ± 1.02% at 150 µg/mL) were detected by Annexin V-PI double staining. Poplar bud extract can be regarded as a promising candidate for future studies involving lung cancer.
