Cancer is a deadly disease caused by cell abnormalities characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. One type of cancer that is the second leading cause of death is breast cancer. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus) is a plant containing citral and geraniol which has the potential as an anticancer. This research was aimed to analyze the potential of essential oils from citronella as antiproliferation of MCM-B2 breast cancer cells. The results of this research showed that lemongrass essential oil was able to significantly reduce the growth of MCM-B2 cancer cells (p<0.05). The concentration of 3 ppm showed an significant difference in doxorubicin, and the concentration of 24 ppm had the highest inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 5.38 ppm.   Keywords: Antiproliferation, breast cancer, MCM-B2, essential oils, fragrant lemongrass

Rimpang Curcuma mangga Val. banyak digunakan sebagai obat herbal antikanker payudara. Penelitian aktivitas sitotoksik terhadap sel kanker payudara banyak dilakukan utamanya untuk minyak atsiri rimpang, dan hanya sedikit penelitian terhadap ekstraknya. Walaupun demikian belum ada yang membandingkan aktivitas sitotoksik dari ekstrak dan minyak atsiri tersebut terhadap sel kanker payudara; meskipun kandungan senyawa keduanya berbeda. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan aktivitas sitotoksik dari ekstrak dan minyak atsiri rimpang C. mangga Val. secara in vitro terhadap sel kanker payudara MCF7. Ekstrak rimpang dibuat secara maserasi menggunakan pelarut n-heksana; sedangkan minyak atsiri dibuat melalui destilasi uap irisan rimpang selama 5 jam. Uji aktivitas sitotoksik in vitro dilakukan menggunakan metoda MTT Assay. Rendemen minyak dari ekstrak n-heksana rimpang C. mangga Val. adalah 1,15 x 10-2 % sedangkan rendemen minyak atsiri adalah 6,3 x 10-2 %. Hasil uji sitotoksik menghasilkan IC50 ekstrak 106,414 µg/ml (R2=0,9677) dan minyak atsiri 198,557 µg/ml (R2=0,8037). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak rimpang C. mangga Val. lebih sitotoksik terhadap sel kanker payudara MCF-7 daripada minyak atsirinya, karena kandungan ekstrak mayoritas diterpenoid (53,18%) sedangkan minyak atsiri mayoritas monoterpenoid (51,34%).THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE ACTIVITIES OF CYTOTOXIC EXTRACTS AND ESSENTIAL OILS OF RHIZOME Curcuma mango Val. TOWARD MCF-7 CELLSCurcuma mangga Val. rhizome has been used as herbal anti breast cancer. Researches on cytotoxic activity towards breast cancer cells have been done especially to the rhizome’s essential oil; and only few researches done to the extract. However there is no cytotoxic activity comparation of the extract and essential oil towards breast cancer cells; even tough their substance contents are different. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the cytotoxic activity in vitro of the extract and essential oil of C. mangga Val. rhizomes towards breast cancer cells of MCF-7. The rhizome extract was prepared by maceration using N-hexane; while the essential oil was prepared by steam distillation for 5 hours of the sliced rhizomes. The in vitro cytotoxic test was carried out using MTT Assay. The yield of oil from rhizome extract was 1.15 x 10-2 %; while the yield of essential oil was 6.3 x 10-2 %. The IC50 of extract oil was 106.414 µg/ml (R2=0.9677) and the IC50 of essential oil was 198.557 µg/ml (R2=0.8037). It shows that rhizome extract of C. mangga Val. was more cytotoxic towards MCF-7 than the oil because the majority content of extract were diterpenoids (53.18%) while the oil were monoterpenoids (51.34%).

Cinchonine is a type of cinchona alkaloid compound commonly found and/or isolated from Cinchona sp. plant. It is commonly used to treat malaria, and can potentially be used against cancer cells. In this particular study, cinchonine ester derivatives were extracted through esterification processs. Synthesized esther is aimed to gain higher lipophilicity of cinchonine so that makes it easier to pass through cell membrane. Esterification was done using DCC activator as well as DMAP catalyst with tiglic acid used to create cinchonine tiglat. Subsequent cinchonine tiglat was obtained in the form of oil with 25,28% yield. The compound obtained from the synthesis was the analyzed using LC-ESI-MS and 1H-NMR spectroscopy instrumentation. Results show that the target compound has been successfully synthesized. Its cytotoxic ability against MCF-7 breast cancer cells was tested using the Alamar Blue method. Results concluded that cinchonine tiglat ester compound has a viable cytotoxic activity with IC50 value of 1.22 ppm.

Ultrastructural characteristic and morphological changes of untreated and treated breast cancer MCF-7 cells were observed by energy-filtered transmission electron microscope (EFTEM). Morphological observation of MCF-7 after being treated with 13 nm, 50 nm, and 70 nm AuNPs, were looking unhealthy and dying out of the populace, the observed cells were more reduced and dying as treatment with 50 nm and 70 nm AuNPs. Cells detachment, clumping, shrunken, and dispersed cells in the culture medium and floating cells were also observed. The observed morphological changes increase in 50 nm and 70 nm AuNPs than in 13 nm AuNPs, which is less toxic to MCF-7 cells. The presented morphological analysis has established that 13 nm AuNPs showed less toxic to MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Whereas, control cells of MCF-7 were treated with only complete culture media, despite the duration of treatment, whereby the cells maintained most of their morphological features and observed to have a typical morphology of healthy cells that are well attached to the surface. These results indicate that AuNPs were clustered in the cells and there was no significant difference between images of different sizes of AuNPs observed in the cells, because the AuNPs always clustered together inside the cells.

Background: Breast cancers occur because of an impaired balance between proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of breast glands. Natural products have potency as cytotoxic agents with less side effects than chemotherapy. One of the potential plants is Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Stennis (binahong), which contains flavonoid 8-glucopyranosyl- 4’,5,7-trihydroxy flavone compounds.Objective: This study aims to determine the potency of binahong leaves extract as an anticancer for breast cancer in vitro and in silico.Methods: Preliminary tests using molecular docking of 8-glucopyranosyl-4’,5,7-trihydroxyflavone compounds on Bcl-2 and HER-2 proteins. The extraction and fractionation were to obtain binahong extract. Thin layer chromatography to identify flavonoid compounds in the extract. DPPH assay was performed to evaluate the antioxidant activity. MTT assay was performed to evaluate cytotoxic activity on MCF-7 breast cancer cells and Vero cells.Results: In silico test showed a stable bond between 8-glucopyranosyl- 4’,5,7-trihydroxylflavone, and Bcl-2 and HER-2 with a docking score of -7.5 kcal/mol and -8.0 kcal/mol, respectively. The binahong extract contain flavonoid compounds that had the retention factor value 0.78; 0.49; 0.35. Antioxidant test resulted IC50 value of 4940 μg/mL. Cytotoxic test resulted in IC50 value of 1073 μg/mL and 486 μg/mL for Vero cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells, respectively. The comparison between IC50 produced a selectivity index value of 2.149, which shows that binahong extract was selective against MCF-7 breast cancers.Conclusion: This study concluded that binahong extract has weak potency as anticancer agent on MCF-7 cells.

The dihydropyranoindole structures were previously identified as promising scaffolds for improving the anti-cancer activity of histone deacetylase inhibitors. This work describes the synthesis of related furoindoles and their ability to synergize with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) against neuroblastoma and breast cancer cells. The nucleophilic substitution of hydroxyindole methyl esters with α-haloketones yielded the corresponding arylether ketones, which were subsequently cyclized to tricyclic and tetracyclic furoindoles. The furoindoles showed promising individual cytotoxic efficiency against breast cancer cells, as well as decent SAHA enhancement against cancer cells in select cases. Interestingly, the best IC50 value was obtained with the non-cyclized intermediate.

Breast cancer is one of cancer with high mortality. This cancer not only attacks women, but also men. Indonesia has many plants which potential as anticancer, such as orchids. Spathoglottis plicata is one of the orchid species that abundant in Indonesia and has a lot of antioxidant compounds which is guessed have anticancer properties. The objectives of this study were to study the cytotoxic activity and IC50 value of aquadest, ethanolic, and chloroform extracts of S. plicata’s pseudobulbs, leaves, and whole plants on T47D cells (breast cancer cells line) as well as cytotoxic activity of the specific fraction of the most toxic crude extract. S. plicata used in this study was obtained from Bungarinte nursery. Extractions were done by maceration method using aquadest, ethanol, and chloroform as the solvent. Cytotoxic test on T47D cells were done by MTT assay. The cytotoxic data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD test. The IC50 of each extracts were calculate by probit analysis. The lowest IC50 value among all extracts was fractionated and isolated by preparative TLC. The cytotoxic activity and IC50 of this fractions were analyzed. The results showed that only 2 from 9 crude extracts that able to calculate its IC50 because those two extracts have concentration dependent pattern of inhibition concentration. Chloroform extract have the lowest IC50 value (369,837 μg/mL). Then, this extract fractionated by eluen n-hexane : ethyl acetate 4:1. Four fractions were collected. The lowest IC50 value is fraction IV (144,41 μg/mL). Based on the results it could be concluded that S. plicata leaves have moderate potency to develop as anticancet agents, especially on breast cancer. Keywords: S. plicata, T47D cells, cytotoxic, MTT assay, preparative TLC.
