Calanone (coumarin derivate compound), isolated from Calophyllum sp. had been shown to have cytotoxic activity on leukemia L1210 cell line with IC50 = 59.40 mg/mL. Calanone presumed have anticancer activity on HeLa cervical carcinoma cell. This study was conducted to investigate the cytotoxic and apoptotic activity of calanone and its effect to p53 and p21 expression on HeLa cervical carcinoma cell. Cytotoxic assay of calanone was performed on HeLa cell line, using MTT assay. Apoptotic assay was performed on HeLa cell line incubated with calanone for 24 h, by immunofluororescence method, using fluorochromes ethidium bromide and acridine orange. Expression of p53 was examined on HeLa cell line, by PCR with p53 wild-type primer. Expression of p21 was examined on HeLa cell line, by immunohistochemistry method. 5-fluorourasil was used as positive control in cytotoxic, apoptotic assay, and p53 expression. The result showed that calanone has cytotoxic activity on HeLa cell line, with IC50 = 22.887 mg/mL, caused cytotoxicity through apoptotic mechanism, increase p53 tumor suppressor gene expression, while the p21 expression test showed a negative result.   Keywords: Calanone, cytotoxic, HeLa cell line

In our previous study, some amino chalcone derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated their cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell line T47D. Among 11 amino chalcone derivatives, ((E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one)) exhibited the most active compound.This study aimed to investigate cytotoxic activity of the ((E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one)) against cervical cell line (HeLa). The cytotoxic activitywas determined using the MTT colorimetric assay. Cisplatin was used as positive control. From this MTT method, inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50) values were determined by probit analysis based on the relationship between log concentrations versus the percentage of cells growth inhibition.The results showed that the IC50 of ((E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one)) and cisplatinwere 22.75 ± 19.13 μg/mL and 14.96±1.08 μg/mL, respectively. In conclusion, the ((E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one)) has moderate cytotoxic activity against HeLa cell line based on National Cancer Institute (NCI) criteria.

Ursolic acid (1), a natural pentacyclic triterpenic acid, afforded a variety of ring-C transformed products (5–11) when treated with N-bromosuccinimide under the influence of a range of protective groups and solvents. The synthesized compounds have been evaluated for cytotoxic activity against prostate PC 3, leukemia THP 1, cervical Hela and lung A-549 cancer cell lines. Among the tested analogs, compounds 5, 8, 9 and 10 showed potent activity against PC 3, THP 1 and Hela cell lines. Especially, compound 10 showed enhanced activity against the Hela cell line than the parent compound. Compounds 5, 8 and 9 showed comparable activities against PC 3 and THP 1 cell lines.

Twelve phosphonopropionates derived from 2-hydroxy-3-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl-2-phosphonopropionic acid (3-IPEHPC) were synthesized and evaluated for their activity as inhibitors of protein geranylgeranylation. The nature of the substituent in the C6 position of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring was responsible for the compound's activity against Rab geranylgeranyl transferase (RGGT). The most active inhibitors disrupted Rab11A prenylation in the human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell line. The esterification of carboxylic acid in the phosphonopropionate moiety turned the inhibitor into an inactive analog.


Background: Cancer is still one of the most serious problems that affect human health. Despite the intense efforts to develop treatments, effective agents are still not available. In some cases, conventional therapy could be harmful or fail because of emerging drug resistance. Therefore, the development of novel therapies against cancer is of utmost importance. Assessment of anticancer effects of bacterial metabolites on cancer cells may help in the process of finding new cheap, reliable, contentious and safe cancer therapy. Objective: To determine the anticancer effect of the extracellular metabolites of eight bacterial species on HeLa cell line. Methodology: Extracellular metabolites were prepared by isolating and culturing eight bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Lactic acid bacteria, Klebsiella, Proteus and E. coli with its phage) in liquid media. Tubes were incubated overnight and centrifuged. Supernatant was filtered and concentrated using Infra-Red concentrator. Different concentrations were prepared and their anticancer effect were evaluated using MTT cell proliferation assay. Results: Results showed variation among the eight bacteria concerning proliferation inhibition against HeLa cells in a time and concentration dependent manner. Pseudomonas and E. coli with its phage revealed considerable anticancer activity with 63% and 86% inhibitory effects (both at 1000 µg\ml) and IC50 of 301 and 1395 µg/dl at 24h respectively. While Proteus and Micrococcus showed low inhibitory effects and S. aureus enhanced the proliferation of HeLa cells at low concentrations. Conclusion: Among the tested bacteria, Pseudomonas and E. coli and its phage gave the best anticancer inhibitory effects against HeLa cells. Further studies using purified components of effective bacteria are recommended.

2-Aryl-2-(3-indolyl)acetohydroxamic acids demonstrate promising antitumor activity, but quickly metabolize in vivo via glucuronidation of hydroxamic acid residue. In an attempt to improve their pharmacokinetics, methyl esters were synthesized via a newly developed protocol for chemoselective mono-methylation of hydroxamic acids. The cytotoxicity of these derivatives against the HeLa cell line was evaluated and found to be inferior compared to the parent lead compounds.

The first synthesis of a natural triterpenoid saponin bearing N-acetylglucosamine, albidoside A, which is isolated from the roots of Acacia albida, is concisely achieved in a convergent strategy. Preliminary pharmacological research shows anticancer activity against HL-60, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, Hep-2, and Hela cell lines. In particular, it exhibited good selectivity, which is five times more cytotoxic toward Hep-2 cells (IC50 = 8.91 μM) than the Hela cell line.
