Background: Cancer is still one of the most serious problems that affect human health. Despite the intense efforts to develop treatments, effective agents are still not available. In some cases, conventional therapy could be harmful or fail because of emerging drug resistance. Therefore, the development of novel therapies against cancer is of utmost importance. Assessment of anticancer effects of bacterial metabolites on cancer cells may help in the process of finding new cheap, reliable, contentious and safe cancer therapy. Objective: To determine the anticancer effect of the extracellular metabolites of eight bacterial species on HeLa cell line. Methodology: Extracellular metabolites were prepared by isolating and culturing eight bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Lactic acid bacteria, Klebsiella, Proteus and E. coli with its phage) in liquid media. Tubes were incubated overnight and centrifuged. Supernatant was filtered and concentrated using Infra-Red concentrator. Different concentrations were prepared and their anticancer effect were evaluated using MTT cell proliferation assay. Results: Results showed variation among the eight bacteria concerning proliferation inhibition against HeLa cells in a time and concentration dependent manner. Pseudomonas and E. coli with its phage revealed considerable anticancer activity with 63% and 86% inhibitory effects (both at 1000 µg\ml) and IC50 of 301 and 1395 µg/dl at 24h respectively. While Proteus and Micrococcus showed low inhibitory effects and S. aureus enhanced the proliferation of HeLa cells at low concentrations. Conclusion: Among the tested bacteria, Pseudomonas and E. coli and its phage gave the best anticancer inhibitory effects against HeLa cells. Further studies using purified components of effective bacteria are recommended.

The first synthesis of a natural triterpenoid saponin bearing N-acetylglucosamine, albidoside A, which is isolated from the roots of Acacia albida, is concisely achieved in a convergent strategy. Preliminary pharmacological research shows anticancer activity against HL-60, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, Hep-2, and Hela cell lines. In particular, it exhibited good selectivity, which is five times more cytotoxic toward Hep-2 cells (IC50 = 8.91 μM) than the Hela cell line.

The anticancer activities of medicinal plants from Indonesia’s tropical rainforests were investigated against Hela cell line. Maytenfoliol from leaves of Calophyllumtetrapterum 3-epibetulinic acid from stem bark of C. tomentosum Wight and D.A-friedo-oleanan-3-on from stem bark of C. moonii showed anticancer activity. The compound 3-epibetulinic acid showed the more potent anticancer activity than maytenfoliol and D.A-friedo-oleanan-3- with thean IC50 value were 3.17 μg/mL, 4.89 μg/mL and 5.63 μg/mL, respectively.Keywords: Anticancer evaluation, Hela cell line, Calophyllumtetrapterum. C. tomentosum Wight and C. moonii

Background: In recent years, discovery and development of new drugs play a critical role in cancer therapy. Objective: In this study, the effect of MPAEA and p-acetamide on cellular toxicity and on silico in HeLa cancer cells have been investigated. Methods: In this study, 2-choloro-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (p-acetamide) and 2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-2- oxoethyl acrylate (MPAEA) have been synthesized and characterized by FTIR, 1H, and 13C-NMR. Cytotoxicity of pacetamide and MPAEA have been investigated by XTT cell proliferation assay on the HeLa cell line. IC50 values of pacetamide and MPAEA have been identified on the HeLa cell line. Further, molecular docking study was carried out by Autodock Vina using BCL-2 (PDB ID: 4MAN), BCL-W (PDB ID: 2Y6W), MCl-1 (PDB ID: 5FDO) AKT (PDB ID: 4GV1) and BRAF (PDB ID: 5VAM) as a possible apoptotic target for anticancer activity. Results: According to the obtained results, MPAEA and p-acetamide were successfully synthesized and characterized. The interactions between ligands and anti-apoptotic proteins were evaluated by molecular docking and their free energy of binding were calculated and used as descriptor. Conclusion: In vitro and in silico the results demonstrated that MPAEA had potent anticancer activity on HeLa cell line.

Calanone (coumarin derivate compound), isolated from Calophyllum sp. had been shown to have cytotoxic activity on leukemia L1210 cell line with IC50 = 59.40 mg/mL. Calanone presumed have anticancer activity on HeLa cervical carcinoma cell. This study was conducted to investigate the cytotoxic and apoptotic activity of calanone and its effect to p53 and p21 expression on HeLa cervical carcinoma cell. Cytotoxic assay of calanone was performed on HeLa cell line, using MTT assay. Apoptotic assay was performed on HeLa cell line incubated with calanone for 24 h, by immunofluororescence method, using fluorochromes ethidium bromide and acridine orange. Expression of p53 was examined on HeLa cell line, by PCR with p53 wild-type primer. Expression of p21 was examined on HeLa cell line, by immunohistochemistry method. 5-fluorourasil was used as positive control in cytotoxic, apoptotic assay, and p53 expression. The result showed that calanone has cytotoxic activity on HeLa cell line, with IC50 = 22.887 mg/mL, caused cytotoxicity through apoptotic mechanism, increase p53 tumor suppressor gene expression, while the p21 expression test showed a negative result.   Keywords: Calanone, cytotoxic, HeLa cell line
