Four pentacyclic triterpenoids were obtained from the leaves of Combretum oliviforme Chao, 3β–hydroxyolean–12–en–28–oic acid (1), 23– O–[α-L-(4′-acetylrhamnopyranosyl)]–imberbic acid (2), 23–acetoxy–3β–acetylimberbic acid–29–methyl ester (3), and 23– O–[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl]-1,3β-diacetylimberbic acid (4). Hydrolysis of 2 and 4 gave 23–hydroxyimberbic acid (5). The structures were elucidated by NMR, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) and comparison with literature data. Compounds 1, 2, 3 and 4 were isolated from C. oliviforme Chao leaves for the first time and 3 for the first time from any natural source. All compounds were tested in vitro for their activity against human lung cancer cell line SPC-A-1, human erythroleukaemic line K562 and human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. Compounds 1, 3, 4 and 5 had cytotoxic activity for the three cell lines with IC50 0.69-69.68 μM. These results suggest that the presence of acetyl group in the triterpene aglycone structure plays an essential role for cytotoxic activity.

In the present study, dihydrobenzimidazole thiopyranooxazinone derivatives were efficiently synthesized, which were further characterized and authenticated by means of TLC and different spectral analysis such as IR and 1H NMR. The synthesized compounds DPK2d2 to DPK2d8 were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial, antitubercular and anticancer activities. The results showed that the titled compounds DPK3d1, DPK3d2 and DPK3d4 exhibited potent antimicrobial activity, shows a broadspectrum activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli (antibacterial) and Aspergillus niger (antifungal) as compared to ciprofloxacin and fluconazole, respectively. Compounds DPK3d1, DPK3d3 and DPK3d5 exhibited potent antitubercular activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis as compared to pyrazinamide, ciprofloxacin and streptomycin. Compounds DPK3d3, DPK3d4 and DPK3d5 showed highly potent cytotoxic activity against human lung cancer cell line (A549) as compared to adriamycin. In silico molecular docking studies shown that all the ligands highest binding affinity range -6.7 to -8.7 for selected 1CB4 PDB of superoxide dismutase, which recognized that ligands having antioxidant activity.

Populus nigra L. is a plant from Salicaceae family, native in Europe. Many parts of this tree can be used as active ingredients, but the most valuable are the buds. In recent years, a growing number of studies reported their activity in the development of a wide range of pharmacological activities including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the phytochemical composition and to evaluate the inorganic elements’ concentration as well as the in vitro antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic potential of a Populus nigra L. buds extract collected from Timișoara (Romania) against A549 human lung cancer cell line. Populus nigra L. bud extract was found to contain twelve different phenolic compounds. The inorganic elements concentrations were below the limit of detection for Co, Pb, and As, whereas Cu = 6.66 µg/g; Cr = 0.79 µg/g; Ni = 3.28 µg/g; Fe = 39.00 µg/g; Zn = 14.84 µg/g; Mn = 0.59 µg/g; Al = 2109.87 µg/g; and Cd = 0.019 µg/g. The extract was tested for the in vitro antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic potential on A549 human lung cancer cell line using different concentrations, namely 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150 μg/mL. Results have shown that poplar bud extract induced a significant decrease of tumor cell viability in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 = 72.49 μg/mL and blocked the cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Phenomena of early apoptosis (from 1.34 ± 0.33% control cells to 2.68 ± 0.62% at 150 µg/mL) and late apoptosis (from 1.43 ± 0.14% control cells to 5.15 ± 1.02% at 150 µg/mL) were detected by Annexin V-PI double staining. Poplar bud extract can be regarded as a promising candidate for future studies involving lung cancer.

Cell Inhibition

21147 Background: Aurora kinases representing a family of evolutionarily conserved mitotic serine/threonine kinases have been found elevated in lung andenocarcinoma cell line A549. It is suggested that the overexpression of Aurora A contributes to the carcinogenesis, chromosomal instability (CIN), and de-differentiation of lung cancers. To address its possibility as a therapeutic target for lung cancer, we employed the antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) technique to inhibit Aurora A expression and investegate its effect on tumor growth and cell cycle of A549, as well as the chemosensitivity of paclitaxel. Methods: Aurora A ASODN was synthesized and transfected into A549 cells by lipofectAMINE 2000.Aurora A mRNA and protein expression were examined by reverse transcription -polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot respectively.Cell cycle distribution was observed by flow cytometer.MTT assay was used to evaluate cell inhibition ratio before and after transfection. Results: The proliferation of the A549 cells was inhibited by Aurora A ASODN dose and time dependently. It was also observed that the IC50 of A549 cells after 48 hours’ treatment of ASODN was about 300nmol/L and under such circumstances, the Aurora A mRNA and protein expression significantly decreased (P<0.05), along with the induction of accumulation of cells in S phase and the G2-M transition. Furhermore, cell inhibition ratio of the combination of Aurora A ASODN and paclitaxel was higher significantly than paclitaxel(P<0.05) or Aurora A ASODN alone (P<0.05). Conclusions: Inhibition of Aurora A expression can results in the suppression of cell growth and chemosensitizing activity to paclitaxel in human lung cancer cell line A549.
