Natural products, explicitly medicinal plants, are an important source of inspiration of antitumor drugs, because they contain astounding amounts of small molecules that possess diversifying chemical entities. For instance, Isodon (formerly Rabdosia), a genus of the Lamiaceae (formerly Labiatae) family, has been reported as a rich source of natural diterpenes. In the current study, we evaluated the in vitro anti-proliferative property of flexicaulin A (FA), an Isodon diterpenoid with an ent-kaurane structure, in human carcinoma cells, by means of cell viability assay, flow cytometric assessment, quantitative polymerase chain reaction array, Western blotting analysis, and staining experiments. Subsequently, we validated the in vivo antitumor efficacy of FA in a xenograft mouse model of colorectal carcinoma. From our experimental results, FA appears to be a potent antitumor molecule, since it significantly attenuated the proliferation of human colorectal carcinoma cells in vitro and restricted the growth of corresponsive xenograft tumors in vivo without causing any adverse effects. Regarding its molecular mechanism, FA considerably elevated the expression level of p21 and induced cell cycle arrest in the human colorectal carcinoma cells. While executing a non-apoptotic mechanism, we believe the antitumor potential of FA opens up new horizons for the therapy of colorectal malignancy.

Four Pt(II) complexes of the general formula [Pt(L)(5,6-epoxy-1,10-phen)], where L is anion of malonic (mal, Pt1), 2-methylmalonic (Me-mal, Pt2), 2,2-dimethylmalonic (Me2-mal, Pt3) or 1,1- cyclobutanedicarboxylic (CBDCA, Pt4) acid while 5,6-epoxy-1,10-phen is bidentately coordinated 5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized and characterized by elemental microanalysis, IR, UV-Vis and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopic techniques. In vitro anticancer activity of novel platinum(II) complexes have been investigated on human and murine cancer cell lines, as well as normal murine cell line by MTT assay. The obtained results indicate that studied platinum(II) complexes exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against murine breast carcinoma cells (4T1), human (HCT116) and murine (CT26) colorectal carcinoma cells. Complex Pt3 display stronger selectivity toward carcinoma cells in comparison to other tested platinum(II) complexes exhibiting beneficial antitumor activity mainly via the induction of apoptosis, as well as inhibition of cell proliferation and migration. Further study showed that Pt3 complex also carry significant in vivo antitumor activity in orthotopical 4T1 tumor model without detected liver, kidney, lung, and heart toxicity. All results imply that these novel platinum(II) complexes have a good anti-tumor effect on breast and colorectal cancer in vivo and in vitro and the affinity to become possible candidates for treatment in anticancer therapy.
