TheScutellariaspecies (Lamiaceae) is used as a source of flavonoids to treat a variety of diseases in traditional medicine. In spite of many reports about the cytotoxic and antitumor effects of some species of this genus, anticancer researches on one of the Iranian speciesS. litwinowiihave not yet been conducted.The cytotoxic properties of total methanol extract ofS. litwinowiiand its fractions were investigated on different cancer cell lines including AGS, HeLa, MCF-7, PC12 and NIH 3T3. Meanwhile, the role of apoptosis in this toxicity was explored. The cells were cultured in DMEM medium and incubated with different concentrations of herb plant extracts. Cell viability was quantitated by MTT assay. Apoptotic cells were determined using propidium iodide staining of DNA fragmentation by flow cytometry (sub-G1 peak).Scutellaria litwinowiiinhibited the growth of malignant cells in a dose-dependent manner. Among solvent fractions ofS. litwinowii, the methylene chloride fraction was found to be more toxic compared to other fractions. The IC50values of this fraction against AGS, HeLa, MCF-7 and PC12 cell lines after 24 h were determined, 121.2 ± 3.1, 40.9 ± 2.5, 115.9 ± 3.5 and 64.5 ± 3.4μg/ml, respectively.Scutellaria litwinowiiinduced a sub-G1 peak in the flow cytometry histogram of treated cells compared to control cells indicating that apoptotic cell death is involved inS. litwinowiitoxicity.Scutellaria litwinowiiexerts cytotoxic and proapototic effects in a variety of malignant cell lines and could be considered as a potential chemotherapeutic agent in cancer treatment.

Little information is reported on the antitumor effects of isoquinoline alkaloids, particularly protopine, a major component of Fumaria agraria, on lung cancer. The purpose of our study is to determine the cytotoxic effect of protopine from an extraction by fractionation of the aerial part of Fumaria agraria on two lung cancer cell lines, NCI-H23 and NCI-H460. The basic fraction containing protopine (60.7%) has cytotoxicity to the two lung cancer cell lines studied here. The cell line NCI-H460 is more sensitive after 72 h of treatment by protopine with an IC50 of 08.5 ± 0.09 μMthan the cell line NCI-H23 (IC50 = 14.8 ± 0.03 μM).
