The present investigation is carried out to study the invitro cytotoxicity of ethanol extract of Syzygium samarangense leaves on HeLa cell line by using MTT assay. Ethanol extract of S. samarangense showed concentration dependent activity on HeLa cell line with IC50 value of 40.5 μg/ml which shows that ethanol extract of S. samarangense posses significant cytoxicity.Moreover the preliminary phytochemical screening showed the presence of fatty acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, terphenoids, saponins, tannins and steroids which are responsible for its cytotoxicity. There are only a few reports are available for cytotoxicity of ethanol extract of S. samarangense.

Doxorubicin is the most common chemotherapy drug used in cancer therapy. Its usage is associated with various side-effects. In order to overcome the challenges in Doxorubicin administration, the present study has focussed on synthesizing a drug conjugate with biosynthesized gold nanoparticles and doxorubicin. The gold nanoparticles were biosynthesized using green extracts of medicinal plants with potential anticancer activities. The nanoparticle that possesses anticancer activity was conjugated with the drug for a combinatorial effect of the nanoparticles and the drug. The in vitro cytotoxicity was checked in Vero cell line through MTT assay. The in vitro anti proliferative effects were screened against cervical cancer in HeLa cell line. Fluorescence activated cell sorting analysis was carried out to detect the difference between live and dead cell populations. The preliminary confirmation was carried out in UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The morphological characterization was carried out by SEM and stability by Zeta potential. The IC50 of the nanocompounds demonstrated anti-proliferative activity against cervical cancer similar to the chemotherapeutic drug, Doxorubicin; additionally in a much lesser concentration of the drug. The in vitro cytotoxicity exhibited high viability of cells in Vero cell line with minimum viability of 80% in all the tested concentrations. There was a synergistic effect of the nanoparticles along with the drug; thereby an enhanced therapeutic efficiency was achieved. FACS analysis showed 36% of cell death in Dox treated HeLa cells whereas 96% of cell death in Nano-Dox treated HeLa cells. Nano-Dox conjugate has demonstrated high anticancer effects than drug alone Doxorubicin. Further biosynthesized nanomaterials based drug formulation can be developed as a potential strategy in cancer therapy.

Ursolic acid (1), a natural pentacyclic triterpenic acid, afforded a variety of ring-C transformed products (5–11) when treated with N-bromosuccinimide under the influence of a range of protective groups and solvents. The synthesized compounds have been evaluated for cytotoxic activity against prostate PC 3, leukemia THP 1, cervical Hela and lung A-549 cancer cell lines. Among the tested analogs, compounds 5, 8, 9 and 10 showed potent activity against PC 3, THP 1 and Hela cell lines. Especially, compound 10 showed enhanced activity against the Hela cell line than the parent compound. Compounds 5, 8 and 9 showed comparable activities against PC 3 and THP 1 cell lines.

2-Aryl-2-(3-indolyl)acetohydroxamic acids demonstrate promising antitumor activity, but quickly metabolize in vivo via glucuronidation of hydroxamic acid residue. In an attempt to improve their pharmacokinetics, methyl esters were synthesized via a newly developed protocol for chemoselective mono-methylation of hydroxamic acids. The cytotoxicity of these derivatives against the HeLa cell line was evaluated and found to be inferior compared to the parent lead compounds.
