pigenin (API) is a phytocompound belonging to the subclass of flavones that can be found in both functional foods as well as medicinal plants. Recent studies have assigned API antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, anti-viral, anti-thrombotic, anti-angiogenic and chemopreventive potential in vitro on various cell lines and/or in experimental animal models. Apigenin-7-O-glucoside (API-7) is one of its main glycosides and can be commonly found in chamomile flowers, parsley, celery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of API and its glycoside (apigenin-7-O-glucoside) against HeLa human cervical cancer cells. Results have shown that in the set experimental conditions both the aglycone as well as the heteroside elicit antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic potential against the screened cell line, the aglycone being more active than the heteroside.

Abstract Ethanolic extract of Nelumbo nucifera petals showed preferential cytotoxic activity against HeLa human cervical cancer cell line with a PC50 value of 10.4 μg/mL. This active extract was subjected to a phytochemical investigation study which led to the isolation of nine benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (1–9). The isolated compounds exhibited potent antiausterity activities. Moreover, under nutrient-deprived conditions, (−)-lirinidine (8) induced remarkable alterations in HeLa cell morphology including cell shrinkage and plasma blebbing leading to total cell death within 10 h. Mechanistically, 8 was found to inhibit Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. It also induced apoptosis by promoting caspase-3 activation and inhibiting Bcl-2 expression. Therefore, benzylisoquinoline alkaloids skeleton can be considered as a promising scaffold for the anticancer drug development against cervical cancer.
