The PDF for this article was updated on 18/11/2011.NN Rumzhum and K Zinna were added as authors on 18/11/2011.The methanolic extract of Clerodendrum viscosum vent. (Verbenaceae) was evaluated for in vitro antioxidant activity by determination of total antioxidant capacity, assay of nitric oxide scavenging activity and reducing power test and in vivo antinociceptive effect in acetic acid induced writhing model in swiss albino mice. The results revealed the presence of pronounced antioxidant property as compared with ascorbic acid used as standard and a dose-dependent (250 and 500 mg/kg) analgesic effect in Clerodendrum viscosum vent. The antioxidant and antinociceptive activities obtained seem to be in good accordance with the traditional uses of Clerodendrum viscosum.   Key words: Clerodendrum viscosum; Verbenaceae; Antioxidant; Ascorbic acid; Antinociceptive; Swiss albino mice DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sjps.v4i1.8873 SJPS 2011; 4(1): 74-78

Abstract Globally, the burden of cancer is increasing consistently. Modern cancer therapies include lots of toxicity in the non-targeted organs reducing the life expectancy of the patients. Therefore, the development of safer alternative medicines with less toxicity and high efficacy is of immense importance. The present study was designed to evaluate the anticancer activity of a medicinal plant, “Tagetes erecta” (TE), in established cancer cell lines in vitro and in animal models in vivo. GC-MS analysis was performed that revealed hexadecanoic acid, Linolenic acid, Quinic acid, 2,3- dihydrobenzofuran (Coumaran), and β-stigmasterol as major bioactive compounds in TE leaves. Aqueous extract of Tagetes erecta (AETE) treatment potentially reduced the tumor weight (TW) and tumor volume (TV) and increased the life span in EAC-induced tumor-bearing Swiss albino mice. Side effect analysis confirmed the lack of toxicity of AETE to non-targeted organs in normal Swiss albino mice. Studies in cancer cell lines indicated dose and time-dependent cytotoxicity in Human laryngeal carcinoma (HEp-2) and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells. Flow cytometric analysis established significant induction of apoptosis in EAC cells without arresting the cell cycle. In addition, AETE treatment led to a significant increase in cells with depolarised mitochondrial membrane potential. The present study indicated that AETE potentially inhibits tumor progression without disturbing normal body physiology. Thus, we conclude that AETE can be used as a potential therapeutic agent against cancer.

Epidemiological and clinical studies compellingly showed the ability of Mediterranean diet rich in extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) to reduce multiple diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and aging cognitive functions decline. The S-(−)-Oleocanthal (OC) is a minor phenolic secoiridoid exclusively found in extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO). OC recently gained notable research attention due to its excellent in vitro and in vivo biological effects against multiple cancers, inflammations, and Alzheimer’s disease. However, OC safety has not been comprehensively studied yet. This study reports for the first time the detailed safety of oral single OC dose in Swiss albino mice, applying the OECD 420 procedure. Male and female Swiss albino mice (n = 10) were orally treated with a single OC dose of either 10, 250, or 500 mg/kg bodyweight or equivalent volumes of distilled water. Mice fed a regular diet, and carefully observed for 14 days. Further, mice were then sacrificed, blood samples, and organs were collected and subjected to hematological, biochemical, and histological examinations. OC 10 mg/kg oral dose appears to be without adverse effects. Further, 250 mg/kg OC, p.o., is suggested as a possible upper dose for preclinical studies in the future.

Ziziphus mauritiana(Lamk.) is a fruit tree that has folkloric implications against many ailments and diseases. In the present study, anticancer potential of seed extract ofZiziphus mauritiana in vitroagainst different cell lines (HL-60, Molt-4, HeLa, and normal cell line HGF) by MTT assay as well asin vivoagainst Ehrich ascites carcinoma bearing Swiss albino mice was investigated. The extract was found to markedly inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells. Annexin and PI binding of treated HL-60 cells indicated apoptosis induction by extract in a dose-dependent manner. The cell cycle analysis revealed a prominent increase in sub Go population at concentration of 20 μg/ml and above. Agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed DNA fragmentation in HL-60 cells after 3 h incubation with extract. The extract also exhibited potent anticancer potentialin vivo. Treatment of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma bearing Swiss albino mice with varied doses (100–800 mg/kg b.wt.) of plant extract significantly reduced tumor volume and viable tumor cell count and improved haemoglobin content, RBC count, mean survival time, tumor inhibition, and percentage life span. The enhanced antioxidant status in extract-treated animals was evident from decline in levels of lipid peroxidation and increased levels of glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase.

AbstractBackground:Butter is one of the widely used fats present in the diet. However, there is no satisfactory study available that evaluates the effect of a high-fat diet containing butter as the principal fat on the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:In the present study, butter was used for the development of steatosis in Chang liver cells in an in vitro study and Swiss albino mice in an in vivo study. In vitro steatosis was established, and butter was compared with oleic acid in Chang liver cells using an oil red O (ORO)-based colorimetric assay. In the in vivo study, a butter-rich special diet was fed for 15 weeks to mice, who showed no significant change in body weight. The expression pattern of phosphatase and tensin homolog (Results and Conclusions:Special diet-fed animals showed downregulated
