Background: A new series of 1,2,3-triazol-nitrostyrene derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against Hep-2 and L929 cell lines. </P><P> Methods: The synthetic procedure started from the functionalization of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with propargyl bromide and a subsequent click reaction to give 1,2,3-triazole derivatives. Then, the reaction of the mentioned derivatives with nitromethane led to the formation of the title compounds in excellent yields. Results: Most of the compounds exhibited better cytotoxic activity with respect to the standard drug 5-fluorouracil. Among them, (E)-1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-4-((4-(2-nitrovinyl)phenoxy)methyl)-1H- 1,2,3-triazole 6i (IC50 = 4.66 &#177; 1.3 &#181;M) against the Hep-2 cell line and (E)-1-(2,3-dichlorobenzoyl)- 4-((4-(2-nitrovinyl)phenoxy)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole 6g (IC50 = 5.18 &#177; 0.8 &#181;M) against the L929 cell line exhibited the best cytotoxic effects. Conclusion: Moreover, the acridine orange/ethidium bromide double staining technique showed that the most potent compounds 6i and 6g could induce apoptosis in studied cancer cell lines.

Cancer is one of the major causes of death globally, which involves uncontrollable growth and spread of abnormal cells. Cytotoxic plant extracts may act on various cancer cells. In this study cytotoxicity of five cultivated Asteraceae plant extracts (Echinacea purpurea L., Achillea filipendulina L., Achillea millefolium L., Tanacetum parthenium L., Silybum marianum L.) has been investigated on different cell lines. Metabolomic profiling of the plants was performed using the LC-qTOF-MS system. In vitro MTT assay applied for determine cytotoxic activity of samples on HT29 (Human colon cancer cells) and L929 (mouse fibroblast) cells. Correlation has been examined between cytotoxicity and metabolomic profile to find active seconder metabolites (r ≥ 0.60, r ≤ −0.60). Total 585 seconder metabolites have been detected for five Asteraceae plants. 118 metabolite showed positive correlation with the cell viability on L929 cell lines while 79 metabolites showed negative correlation. 112 metabolites showed positive correlation with cytotoxic activity on HT29 cell lines while 70 metabolites showed negative. 18 uncommon metabolites were detected in S. marianum extract which has selective cytotoxic activity on cell lines. 16 common metabolites were highly correlated positively as selective cytotoxic activity. These results showed us correlation analyzes between activity and metabolomic profile can be an easy and appropriate method to determine active seconder metabolites in plant extracts.

Sarcopoterium spinosum (L.) is a medicinal plant traditionally used for the treatment of various diseases including cancer in the Near- and Middle East. The fractions and constituents of the ethanol extract of S. spinosum were screened for in vitro cytotoxic activities on Jurkat (acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia), HeLa (cervical adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (mammary gland adenocarcinoma), Caco-2 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma), and MDA-MB-231 (mammary gland adenocarcinoma) cell lines using the MTT (3-(dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. The ethanol extract was subsequently re-extracted with ethyl acetate and in its sub-fraction obtained by column chromatography three compounds (stachydrine, benzalkonium chloride and rutine) were the first time identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. The most active subfraction showed cytotoxic activity against HeLa, MCF-7, and Caco-2 cell lines. The three compounds mentioned, as standards of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quality, were studied individually and in combination. Cytotoxic activity observed might be due to the presence of benzalkonium chloride and rutin. Benzalkonium chloride showed the strongest growth suppression effect against HeLa cells (IC50 8.10−7 M) and MCF-7 cells (IC50 5.10−6 M). The mixture of stachydrine and benzalkonium chloride allowed a synergistic cytotoxic effect against all tested cancer and normal cells to be obtained. Anti-cancer activity of the plant extract of S. spinosum remains under-investigated, so this research describes how the three major compounds identified in the ethyl acetate extract can exert a significant dose dependent in vitro cytotoxicity.

Hemiasterlin is a potent antimitotic agent acting through inhibition of microtubule depolymerization. For this reason, the synthesis of new hemiasterlin derivatives has attracted a lot of interest in the organic chemistry community recently. In this paper, the synthesis and evaluation of the cytotoxicity of new simplified and racemic hemiasterlin derivatives were reported. All of the synthesized analogues were evaluated in vitro for cytotoxic activity against four human cell lines (KB, Hep-G2, LU and MCF7). Most of these analogues possess a strong cytotoxic activity on two human cancer cell lines (KB and Hep-G2) and very weak activity on LU and MCF7 cell lines.

Objective: The main aim of the study was to screen the isolated compounds of Viburnum Punctatum for its in vitro anticancer activity and its percentage viability against HCT 15 (Human Colon Cancer Cells) Cell lines.Methods: Pet ether, Chloroform, Methanol and Aqueous extracts was prepared and assayed for the presence of phytochemicals. Two compounds were isolated from the methanol extract of Viburnum Punctatum by column chromatography such as ME1 (Quercetin) and ME2 (Kaemferol-3-glycoside) characterised by UV, IR, MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The above isolated compounds were subjected to in vitro anticancer activity on HCT 15 cell lines was evaluated by Micro culture Tetrazolium (MTT) assay.Results: ME1 showed significant cytotoxic activity than the ME2 on HCT 15 cells with a percentage viability of 54.60 and 67.18 in the concentration of 10µg/ml and 50µg/ml respectively.Conclusion: On the basis of obtained results, ME1 and ME2 isolated from a methanolic extract of Viburnum Punctatum represent a new group of cytotoxic against HCT 15 Cell lines.

Pinus Merkusii

Several efforts have been made to discover new anticancer agents based on natural ingredients. Meanwhile, previous studies have shown that different Pine genus species exhibit cytotoxic activity against various types of cancer cells. This plant is rich in phenolic compounds, especially procyanidins, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the in vitro cytotoxicity of Pinus merkusii needles extract on HeLa cancer cell lines. The cytotoxicity assessment was measured using MTT assay and expressed as IC50 value. The results showed that the ethanolic extract poses a dose and time-dependent cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 542.5 µg/ml at 48 hours of incubation. Based on this result, Pinus merkusii needles’ ethanolic extract has the potential of a novel candidate for an anticancer agent.
