Abstract

Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate, major ingredient of Kaempferia galanga rhizome, have been reported not only has analgesic – anti inflammatory activities like NSAIDs which inhibited cyclooxygenase, but also inhibit tumor cell proliferation in specimen of mouse epidermis. Therefore, it will be interesting to carry out  synthetic studies on the derivates of ethyl  p-methoxycinnamate and searching their citotoxic activity on WiDr cell. We wish to report of structure modification on carboxyl moiety of  ethyl p-methoxycinnamate  and  evaluation on their citotoxic activity  on WiDr cell. Isolation of ethyl p-methoxycinnamate from Kaempferia galanga rhizome was carried out by percolation with ethanol 96% as solvent. Hydrolysis of ethyl p-methoxycinnamate in basic condition was performed to obtain p-methoxycinnamic acid. Preparation of some thiourea derivates of ethyl  p-methoxycinnamate was carried out  by microwave irradiation. Citotoxicity assay was carried out by MTT method for 48 h.   Modification  of  carboxyl  group  of  ethyl  p-methoxycinnamate to its thiourea form could be carried out by microwave irradiation gave; (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(phenylcarba- mothioyl)acrylamide (50%); (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(4-methoxyphenylcarbamothi- oyl)acrylamide (26%) and (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(4-methylphenylcarbamothioyl) acrylamide (54%), yield calculated for 2 step from the acid chloride. All compounds showed no citotoxic effect on WiDr cell at 48 h incubation.

Abstract

Leunca (Solanum nigrum L.) has been proven to possess  anticancer activity on some type of cancer cells. In vitro study of solamargine found in the herb showed cytotoxic effect against several breast cancer cell lines, such as T47D and MDA-MB-31. Hence, further study on its potential as a co-chemotherapeutic agent needs to be conducted, in order to overcome resistance problem commonly found in cancer  chemotherapy. This study aimed to examine the cytotoxic activity of leunca herb ethanolic extract (LEE) alone and its combination with doxorubicin. Single and combinational treatment of LEE and doxorubicin on T47D breast cancer cells were done, and their viability representing cytotoxicity were analyzed by using MTT assay to determine the IC50 value and combination index (CI) to evaluate the combinational effect.  Twenty four hours-treatment of LEE  alone gave cytotoxicity activity showing a dose-dependent manner with the IC50 of 47 µg/ml, while combinational treatment showed that 4 µg/ml LEE was found to be synergist with 4 nM doxorubicin on T47D cells, with the optimum CI value of 0.59. This result shows that Solanum nigrum L. is potential to be proposed as doxorubicin co-chemotherapeutic agent against breast cancer. Further study on its molecular mechanism needs to be conducted.

Abstract

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is therapy for estrogen deficiency and post menopausal  syndromes,  but  high  cost  and  unwell-secured  therapy.  One  of  alternative therapy  is  the  usage  of  phytoestrogens.  The  banana  peel  contains  flavones,  flavonol, flavanone and polimethoxyflavone which are potential as phytoestrogen. The purpose of this study was to examine the estrogenic effect of banana peel extract (BPE) development of mammary gland of ovariectomized rats. Estrogenic effects was examined based on in vivo and in silico experiment. For in vivo experiment, female Sprague-dawley rats aged 50 days were ovariectomized. At 70 days of age, 12 rats were treated with BPE 500 mg/kgBB and 1000mg/kgBB, 5 rats were treated with estradiol 2g/day while others served as control were treated with CMC-Na 0.5% and sacrificed 2 weeks later. The base line ovariectomized rats and base line non-ovariectomized rats were sacrificed at 70 days of age. The in silico experiment examined by molecular docking between myricetin and estrogen receptor alpha (ER-α). The result of in vivo experiment showed that 1000 mg/kgBW BPE induced c-Myc expression  and  enhance  ovariectomized  rat  mammary  gland  development  significantly. Meanwhile, molecular docking showed that there are hydrogen bond interaction between bioactive compound in BPE and Estrogen Receptor (ER)-α but less powerfull than estrogen and ER-α interaction. In summary, BPE can act as an estrogen agonist,  resulting in the enhancement of c-Myc expression.

Abstract

Naringenin, an abundant flavanon in the peel of citrus fruits is reported to possess anti-proliferative  effect  in  many  cancer  cells.  Herein,  we  investigated  the  cytotoxic  effect  and apoptosis  induction  of  naringenin  in  combination  with  doxorubicin  on  HeLa  cells.  The cytotoxicity assay of naringenin, doxorubicin, and their combination were carried out by using MTT  assay.  Cell  viability  was  used  as  the  parameters  to  evaluate  combination  effectiveness. Cell  cycle  distribution  was  determined  by  flow  cytometry  and  analyzed  using  ModFit  LT  3.0 program.  Apoptosic  assay  was  done  by  double  staining  method  using  Ethidium  Bromide-Acridine  Orange.  Investigation  on  the  expression  of  Bax  and  Bcl-2  were  determined  by immunocytochemistry method. Naringenin and doxorubicin showed cytotoxic effect  on HeLa cells  with  their  IC50  values  of  195  µM  and  1  µM,  respectively.  Whereas  combination  of naringenin  -  doxorubicin  showed  greater  cytotoxicity  compared  the  single  treatment  of doxorubicin.  The  strongest  cytotoxic  activity  was  observed  at  a  combination  of  100  µM naringenin  and  0,5  µM  doxorubicin.  Single  treatment  of  0,5  µM  doxorubicin  for  24  hours  on HeLa cells induced  S-phase arrest while 100 µM naringenin did not affect on HeLa cell cycle. The  combination  induced  S-phase  arrest  with  the  increased  of  sub-G1  phase  percentage.  In accordance with the flow cytometry results, the double staining apoptosis assay results showed the increase of apoptotic cells. Naringenin, doxorubicin, and their combination also increased the  expression  of  Bax  and  decreased  the  expression  of  Bcl-2.  These  results  concluded  that naringenin was a potential co-chemotherapy agent for cervical cancer due to its synergism with doxorubicin.Keywords:  co-chemotherapy,  naringenin,  doxorubicin,  HeLa  cells,  cytotoxicity,  cell  cycle, apoptosis

Abstract

Co-chemotherapeutics approaches are increasing in cancer treatment in order mainly to suppress the resistance phenomenon of cancer treatment and to enhance the cytotoxic effect of the main chemotherapeutics agent. Tangeretin has been known to have cytotoxic effect to some cancer cells through some pathways in the cells. To explore the potential effect of tangeretin as co-chemotherapeutics agent this research was subjected to study the cytotoxic  effect of tangeretin in combination with 5-Fluoro Uracil (5-FU) on WiDR colon cancer cells covering the modulation of cell cycle and apoptosis induction. Cytotoxic effect was examined by using MTT assay while apoptosis induction was determined by annexin-V flowcytometry. Under MTT assay, tangeretin showed weak cytotoxic activity on the cells. However, tangeretin significantly enhanced the cytotoxic effect of 5-FU on the cells. This co-chemotherapeutics effect likely correlated with cell cycle modulation effect, especially in inducing polyploidy phenomenon as expressed in the flowcytometric graph of the DNA content. This combination also increased apoptosis induction. These result suggest that tangeretin is potential to be developed as co-chemotherapeutic agent for 5-FU on colon cancer and further molecular mechanism need to be exploredKeywords : Tangeretin, 5-Fluorourasil, WiDr, cell cycle, apoptosis

Abstract

Therapy  of  colon  cancer  by  using  5-FU  often  causes  problems  of  resistance.  This encourages the development of co-chemotherapy agent. One of the compounds that could potentially be used as a co-chemotherapy agent  is hesperidin. This study was conducted to determine the cytotoxic effects of hesperidin, 5-FU and the combination of them, as well as apoptosis induction in colon cancer cells WiDr. Cytotoxic effect of hesperidin, 5-FU, and its combination were observed using MTT assay. Observation of apoptosis was done by double staining method using ethidium bromide-acridin orange. Until 48 hours incubation, hesperidin showed no cytotoxic effects. Cytotoxic effects of 5-FU was observed after 48 hours with the IC50 value of 422 µM. However, hesperidin improved the cytotoxic effects of 5-FU at 48 hour incubation.  Either  single  treatment  of  hesperidin  200µM  or  5-FU  1500  µM  did  not  trigger apoptosis, but combination of them led to the emergence of signs of apoptosis. Based on this study,it can be concluded thathesperidin is potential to be developed as a co-chemotherapy agent of 5-FU on colon cancer but still need further study on its molecular mechanisms.Keywords : hesperidin, 5-fluorouracil, WiDr cells, cytotoxic, apoptosis

Abstract

Ursolic acid has been widely known to possess biological activity against numerous tumor cell lines. Previous studies revealed its cytotoxicity on several cancer cells  in vitro by either inducing apoptosis or cell cycle modulation. This  study was conducted to investigate ursolic  acid’s  cytotoxicity  solely  and  in  combination  with  a  chemotherapeutic  agent, doxorubicin,  on  MCF-7  breast  cancer  cells,  followed  by  observation  on  its  mechanism. Cytotoxicity of single and combinational treatment of ursolic acid and doxorubicin on MCF-7 breast cancer cells were conducted by using MTT assay. Single treatment was then evaluated by  determining  IC50  value,  while  combinational  treatment  was  evaluated  by  analyzing  cell viability  and  evaluating  combination  index  (CI).  To  explore  the  mechanism  underlying cytotoxic  effect  on  respected  cells,  further  analysis  on  cell  cycle  profile  of  single  and combinational treatment was conducted by flow cytometry. Twenty four hours treatment of ursolic  acid  inhibited  MCF-7 cells’ growth with  IC50  value  of  37  µM,  while  combinational treatment  showed  that  several  concentration  combinations  of  ursolic  acid  and  doxorubicin exhibited  synergism  of  cytotoxic  activity  on  MCF-7  cells,  giving  optimum  CI  value  of  0.54. Flow cytometric analysis showed that combinational treatment induced G2/M arrest in MCF-7  cells.  These  results  show  that  ursolic  acid  is  promising  to  be  developed  as  either  single chemopreventive  agent,  or  as doxorubicin’s co-chemotherapeutic  agent  in  breast  cancer treatment.  Observation  on  the  selectivity  as  part  of  safety  aspect  together  with  in silico,  in vitro, and in vivo study on its molecular mechanism should be conducted.Keywords: ursolic acid, doxorubicin,co-chemotherapeutic agent, breast cancer, cell cycle
