Eupatorium odoratum (EO)contains many biologically active compounds, the anticancer effects of which are not well documented. This study evaluates the cytotoxic effects and mechanism of action ofEOextracts on MCF-7 and Vero cell lines. Evaluation of the cytotoxic activity using MTT assay, morphological alterations, and apoptosis were carried out. Autophagy was evaluated by LC3-A protein expression. Cytotoxic activity, membrane blebbing and ballooning at 24 hours, replacement by mass vacuolation, and double membrane vesicles mimicking autophagy and cell death were observed in the cancer cells. No apoptosis was observed by DNA fragmentation assay. Overexpression of LC3-A protein indicated autophagic cell death. Cell cycle analysis showed G0 and G2/M arrest. The Vero cells did not show significant cell death at concentrations <100 μg/mL. These results thus suggest that acetone and ethyl acetate extracts ofEOinduce cell death through induction of autophagy and hold potential for development as potential anticancer drugs.

<p><em>Indonesia has so many kinds of a parasite (mistletoe), one of them which has potential anticancer activity is mango parasite (Dendrophthoe pentandra). This research aimed at determining the cytotoxic activity profile of mango parasite leaves extracts from several locations in Indonesia against T47D and Vero cell lines. Mango parasite leaves obtained from 4 locations in Indonesia: Kediri, Pekalongan, Sumatra, and Kalimantan. Three samples was obtained from 3 different sub-districts in each locations. Cytotoxic activities of samples were performed by MTT assay method. The results of this study showed that there were differences between samples obtained from different locations, especially in cytotoxic activity and selectivity indexes of mango parasite leaves (D. pentandra) ethanol extract. D. pentandra obtained from Kalimantan has the most potential cytotoxic activity and could be potentially developed into a T47D breast anticancer agent. Extracts from the Kalimantan have an IC<sub>50</sub> values of287.39 μg/ml, LC<sub>50 </sub>798.28 μg / ml and selectivity index 2.77, which means it was toxic to cancer cells but safe for Vero cell lines, and its selectively kills cancer cells rather than Vero cell lines. The result of this study could support D. pentandra to be developed as a new potential Fitofarmaka.</em></p>

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic activity of the extracts and fractions of Eriocaulon cinereum against HeLa and Vero cell lines,which represent cervical cancer and normal cells, respectively. In addition, a phytochemical screening was carried out to determine the chemicalconstituents in the extracts and the active fractions.Materials and Methods: The extracts of E. cinereum were obtained by ultrasound-assisted extraction method using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, andmethanol, successively. The active extract was fractionated using vacuum liquid chromatography with dichloromethane followed by ethyl acetate. Thecytotoxic activity was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay method and was measured using microplatereader at the wavelength 595 nm. The data were analyzed with PROBIT from SPSS 16 for Windows®. In addition, phytochemical screening wasperformed using standard procedures.Results: The cytotoxic evaluation of the extracts of E. cinereum showed that the ethyl acetate extract was the most active extract against HeLa cell linewith the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 580.07 μg/ml. The dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions from the active extractof E. cinereum exhibited cytotoxic activity against HeLa cell with the IC50 values of 466.61 μg/ml and 267.34 μg/ml, respectively. In addition, the ethylacetate fraction showed a low cytotoxic effect against Vero cell line. The phytochemical screening of the ethyl acetate fraction indicated the presenceof terpenoids and alkaloids.Conclusion: This finding revealed the anticancer potential of E. cinereum and warranted further investigation for the discovery of new anticanceragents from natural resources for cervical cancer.

Objective: In a previous study, Centaurea aegyptiaca ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts showed potent cytotoxic effects against laryngeal (HEP2) and hepatic (HEPG2) carcinoma cell lines. Additionally, two novel compounds were isolated and identified. The aim of this study is to continue isolating and identifying another compound (s) that may, also, be responsible for this potent biological activity.Methods: C. aegyptiaca dried aerial parts were extracted with ethanol and ethyl acetate. Both extracts were chromatographed separately to afford seven guaianolides that were identified using different spectroscopic methods. Moreover, compounds 1-7 were evaluated for their cytotoxicity (IC50, µM) against HEP2 and HEPG2 cells in comparison to the normal fibroblasts (BHK) using sulforhodamine B assay. Doxorubicin was used as a positive control.Results: Seven sesquiterpene lactones, centaurepensin, also known as chlorohyssopifolin A (1), 8α-hydroxy-11α, 13-dihydrozaluzanin C (2), chlorohyssopifolin B (3), desacylcynaropicrin (4), chlorohyssopifolin C, acroptilin (5), subluteolide (6), and solstitiolide (7) were isolated from C. aegyptiaca extracts and identified. This is the first report on the occurrence of 2, 4, 5 and 6 in C. aegyptiaca. Compounds 1-4 and 6 exhibited selective cytotoxic effects against HEP2 and HEPG2 cells. However, compounds 1 and 7 showed the highest activities against HEP2 with IC50 values of 10.6±0.02 and 10.9±0.03 µM, respectively. Moreover, compound 3 was the most potent one against HEPG2 cells with IC50value of 13.8±0.05 µM.Conclusions: Chemical investigation of C. aegyptiaca ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts led to the isolation and identification of seven guaianolides. These compounds exhibited good cytotoxic activities against HEP2 and HEPG2 cell lines.

Abstract Background: Malaria is one of the severe tropical disease and majority of deaths occurred due to Plasmodium falciparum. Lack of a vaccine and the widespread resistance to antimalarial drugs have resulted in emphasis on novel antimalarial drugs development. The purpose of the study was to evaluate in vitro and in-silico antiplasmodial potential of Curcuma caesia extracts against P. falciparum.Methods: Ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of C. caesia were prepared and analysed for their antiplasmodial activity against Chloroquine sensitive (3D7) and resistant (K1) strains of P. falciparum using fluorescence-based SYBR Green assay. The cytotoxicity tests were carried out using the vero cell lines by MTT assay. The phosphoethanolamine methyltransferase enzyme ((PfPMT) essential for growth of P. falciparum was used as protein target for in-silico study. Result: C. caesia ethyl acetate extracts showed the potent antiplasmodial activity with IC50 values of 3.37 µg/ml and 1.53 µg/ml against 3D7 and K1 strain respectively. The IC50 values of methanol extract were reported, 8.57 µg/ml against 3D7 and 18.29 µg/ml against K1 strains The cytotoxicity assay revealed that the extracts were not toxic against vero cell lines as the CC50 values were less than IC50. Docking results show that β-selinenol an oxygenized sesquiterpene present in C. caesia had the free binding energy of -6.76 Kcal/mol.Conclusion: The compounds β-selinenol, α-eudesmol, α –acorenol, boldione and xanthinin present in the C. caesia extract possess antimalarial potential being inhibitor of PfPMT. The present findings, however preliminary in nature. Further studies are needed to identify the active compounds and in vivo mechanism to prove the antimalarial efficacy of C. caesia in the development of antimalarial drugs.

Sarcopoterium spinosum (L.) is a medicinal plant traditionally used for the treatment of various diseases including cancer in the Near- and Middle East. The fractions and constituents of the ethanol extract of S. spinosum were screened for in vitro cytotoxic activities on Jurkat (acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia), HeLa (cervical adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (mammary gland adenocarcinoma), Caco-2 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma), and MDA-MB-231 (mammary gland adenocarcinoma) cell lines using the MTT (3-(dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. The ethanol extract was subsequently re-extracted with ethyl acetate and in its sub-fraction obtained by column chromatography three compounds (stachydrine, benzalkonium chloride and rutine) were the first time identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. The most active subfraction showed cytotoxic activity against HeLa, MCF-7, and Caco-2 cell lines. The three compounds mentioned, as standards of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quality, were studied individually and in combination. Cytotoxic activity observed might be due to the presence of benzalkonium chloride and rutin. Benzalkonium chloride showed the strongest growth suppression effect against HeLa cells (IC50 8.10−7 M) and MCF-7 cells (IC50 5.10−6 M). The mixture of stachydrine and benzalkonium chloride allowed a synergistic cytotoxic effect against all tested cancer and normal cells to be obtained. Anti-cancer activity of the plant extract of S. spinosum remains under-investigated, so this research describes how the three major compounds identified in the ethyl acetate extract can exert a significant dose dependent in vitro cytotoxicity.
