A Sesquiterpene Aldehyde Isolated From Ethyl Acetate Extract of Lansium Domesticum Fruit Peel

Lansium domesticum (fam. Meliaceae) contains various compounds with various biological activities. Based on the previous research, extracts from several parts of the plant have biological activity. This study aimed to isolate a compound from the fruitpeel of L. domesticum and evaluate cytotoxic activity against T47D, WiDr and HepG2 cell lines. Powdered peels were macerated with ethyl acetate and the filtrate was evaporated to give EtOAc extract. Dried extract was triturated with n-hexane to give n-hexane soluble fraction (A) and insoluble fraction (B). The fraction B was separated using vacuum column chromatography (VLC) with mobile phase n-hexane: ethyl acetate and given 5 fractions. Fractions B3-B5 were combined and separated using VLC with n-hexane and ethyl acetate as mobile phase. This VLC separation gave 18 subractions, subfractions 6-9 with the similar TLC profile were combined. This subfraction was separated further using preparative thin layer chromatography to give compound 1. The Isolated compound (1) appeared as liquid. The chemical structure of 1 was identified acoording to spectroscopic data and comparison with literature. Cytotoxic bioassay was performed on T-47D, WiDr and Hep G2 cell lines in a series of concentrations at 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 and 5µg/mL, with Doxorubicine used as positive control. According to spectroscopic data, compound 1 was identified as 2-ethyl,3-(1’-hydroxy-2’-menthene) propenal, and demonstrate the strongest cytotoxicity against T-47D cell lines (IC50=39.18+1.54 µg/mL).

Biodiversitas 22: 3743-3748. Lansium domesticum (Fam. Meliaceae), a tropical fruit (local name, Duku), has been reported to have various biological activities. At the moment we emphasize on searching compounds to have cytotoxic activity from the peel of L. domesticum. The study was initiated by extraction with EtOAc followed by fractionation that was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and cytotoxicity against T-47D and HepG2 cells. The EtOAc extract of the sample was triturated with n-hexane to give n-hexane soluble (A) n-hexane insoluble fractions (B). The B fraction was fractionated by vacuum column chromatography using gradient solvent composition of n-hexane: acetone to give 18 fractions. According to TLC similarity pictures, fractions were combined to give 6 fractions (I-VI). Isolation was performed using preparative TLC, and the cytotoxic assay was performed using MTT method. The isolated compound was identified as a sesquiterpene having one aldehyde functional group, based on spectroscopic data.The isolated compound displayed cytotoxic activity on T-47D (IC50, 48.58 + 0.96 µg/mL) and HepG2 (IC50, 127.45 + 25.76 µg/mL).

Molecular Docking on Kokosanolide A and C for Anticancer Activity Against Human Breast Cancer Cell MCF-7

Kokosanolide A (1), from the seeds of Lansium domesticum Corr. cv Kokossan, has been shown strong cytotoxic activities (IC50 = 8.62 μg/mL) against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The aim of this work was to study the molecular interactions of kokosanolide A and kokosanolide C with the Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) using computer-aided drug design approaches. Molecular docking using Autodock Vina (open-source software PyRx 0.8) was employed to explore the modes of binding of kokosanolide A (1) and kokosanolide C (2) with ERα. Compounds 1 and 2 showed strong bond-free energy (-8.8 kcal/mol and -8.7 kcal/mol) to ERα. These two compounds have a molecular mechanism to inhibit ERα in breast cancer cells.

A bioactive compound isolated from Duku (Lansium domesticum Corr) fruit peels exhibits cytotoxicity against T47D cell line

Background: Breast cancer is a major health problem for women globally. Many attempts have been promoted to cure cancer by finding new anticancer medicines from natural resources. Despite the richness of biodiversity discovered, there are some natural resources that remain unexplored. Fruit peels of Duku (Lansium domesticum Corr.) are rich with compounds that may have the potential to be developed as anticancer drugs. This study aimed to isolate cytotoxic compounds from the fruit peels of L. domesticum and assess their cytotoxic nature against T47D cells. Methods: Powdered peels were macerated with ethyl acetate and the filtrate was evaporated to give EtOAc extract A. Dried extract A was triturated with n-hexane to give n-hexane soluble fraction B and insoluble fraction C. The cytotoxic nature of these three samples were assessed using MTT assay using T47D cells and doxorubicin as a control. Results: Fraction C that showed the smallest IC50 (25.56 ± 0.64μg/mL) value compared to extract A and fraction B. Fraction C was further fractionated by vacuum liquid chromatography to give 6 subfractions. Subfraction 2 showed a single compound based on thin layer chromatography, and this compound was identified as Lamesticumin A on the basis of its spectroscopic data. Lamesticumin A demonstrated cytotoxic activity against T47D cell lines with an IC50 value of 15.68 ± 0.30µg/mL. Conclusions: Further research is needed to investigate the potential of the natural compound Lamesticumin A derived from L. domesticum fruit peel as an anticancer therapy.
