Although many data are available concerning anticarcinogenic effects of industrial conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), few studies have reported the antitumour properties of CLA mixtures originating from ruminant products. The aim of the present study was to investigate thein vitroantiproliferative effects of beef CLA mixtures on breast, lung, colon, melanoma and ovarian human cancer cell lines. For this purpose, four fatty acid (FA) extracts prepared from beef lipid and varying in their CLA composition, their corresponding purified CLA-enriched fractions, and mixtures of pure synthetic CLA, the composition of which reproduced that of the four selected beef samples, were tested on cancer cell lines. Cancer cells were exposed for 48h to medium containing 100μm-FA and their proliferation was determined by quantifying cellular DNA content (Hoechst 33342 dye). Compared with cells incubated without FA, the number of cancer cells was reduced from 25 to 67% (P<0·0001) following FA treatment. Antiproliferative effects of CLA mixtures varied in magnitude according to the source of FA, the CLA composition and the cell lines. CLA mixtures naturally present in beef inhibited the proliferation of human cancer cell lines, a high content incis-transisomers allowing the most important antiproliferative effect. Beef total FA exhibited a greater growth-inhibitory activity than their corresponding CLA-enriched fractions. These results suggested that either beef FA other than beef CLA could possess antiproliferative properties and/or the existence of complementary effects of non-conjugated FA and CLA, which could favour the antiproliferative properties of beef total FA.

Two new aza-BODIPY photosensitizers featuring an iodine atom on each pyrrolic unit of their structure, were synthesized in fairly good yields and tested in vitro on two human cancer cell lines to assess their photodynamic efficacy.

AbstractTwo new α-tetralonyl glucosides, (4S)-4,5,8-trihydroxy-α-tetralone-5-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1 → 6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and (4S)-4,8-dihydroxy-α-tetralone-4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1 → 6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), together with eight known compounds (3 – 10) were isolated from the green walnut husks of Juglans mandshurica. The structural characterization of all compounds was performed by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS experiments. The isolated compounds were assayed for their cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines, A549 and HeLa. Four compounds (7 – 10) exhibited inhibitory effects against two human cancer cell lines with GI50 values between 1.3 and 5.8 µM.

In continuation of our study on anticancer compounds, a series of novel artemisinin dimers have been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic effects against three human cancer cell lines, including HepG2 (liver cancer), MCF-7(breast cancer) and HL-60 (leukemia cancer). The assay results showed that most of the compounds displayed inhibitory effects against all three human cancer cell lines tested, and seemed to be more cytotoxic toward the blood cancer cells (HL-60) than liver (HepG2), and breast (MCF-7) cancer cells. Among the synthesized artemisinin dimers, the compound 10d with a double bond bridge exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 5.08, 4.82 and 1.32 µg/mL against the HepG2, MCF-7, and HL-60 cell lines, respectively.
