Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Lactic Acid Bacteria on Colorectal Cancer WiDr Cell Line

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer and cancer-related deaths worldwide. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are bacteria that have potential activity as an inhibitor of the growth of colorectal cancer, and also has been widely used and was very useful for consumption. In our previous study, we isolated various LAB from Indonesian traditional fermented food. This study aims to determine the potential of LAB as an anticancer agent by determining the antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity assay of colon cancer in the WiDr cell line. This study used extracellular extract of various LAB. We use the Diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method to determine the antioxidant activity and 3-(4,5'dimethylihiazol-2-yl),2.5-di-phenyl-relrrzolium bromid (MTT) assay to study cytotoxicity activity. The viability cell staining also applied to detect unviable cells. The results informed that the highest antioxidant activity was shown by S.34 LAB with 81% activity. The S.34 also showed cytotoxicity activity with 73% of WiDr viable cell at a concentration of 200 μg/mL of LAB extract. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the S.34 LAB from Bekasam may inhibit the proliferation of WiDr cell lines and It had the highest antioxidant activity comparing to other LAB samples.Keywords: Lactic Acid Bacteria, colorectal cancer, anticancer, antioxidant, WiDr cells.

Ethanolic Extract of Citrus reticulata Peel Inhibits the Migration of WiDr Colon Cancer Cells

Colorectal cancer is third rank on the cancer cases in Indonesia. To cure the cancer needs big cost and lot of effort. On the other side, the side effect of medicine or chemotherapy on patient need to reduce. Cancer cell spread to other tissue based on its migration and invasion ability. Citrus reticulata peel contains flavonoid such as Tangeretin and Nobiletin, both of this compounds have anticancer activity. The aims of this study is to reveals the potency of ethanol extract of Citrus reticulata peel on the inhibition of migration on WiDr colon cancer cells. The toxicity of ethanol extract of Citurs reticulata peel on WiDr colon cancer line was measured using 3-(4,5-dimethyltiazol-2-il)-2,5-diphenyltrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and investigate the cell migration was using scratch wound healing assay. The ethanol extract of Citrus reticulata peel showed the value of inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) was 184.5 μg/mL, this result categorize as moderate cytotoxic. Meanwhile the migration assay showed that the deceleration of migration occurred on 0.5 IC50, 0.33 IC50 and 0.25 IC50 during 24 h and 36 h incubation, event thought there were not significant different (p>0.05). The ethanol extract of Citrus reticulata peel has a potential migration inhibition on WiDr cell line.Keywords: Citrus reticulata, WiDr cell line, migration

Synthesis of Chalcone Derivatives and Their in vitro Anticancer Test Against Breast (T47D) and Colon (WiDr) Cancer Cell Line

The synthesis of chalcone derivatives as target compounds and anticancer test against breast (T47D) and colon (WiDr) cell line had been performed. The synthesis was performed by Claisen-Schmidt condensation by using acetophenone and benzaldehyde derivatives. The anticancer activity test of chalcone derivatives was carried out by MTT assay against T47D and WiDr cell lines. The synthesis was started by reacting 4-hydroxyacetophenone and benzaldehyde derivatives such as p-anisaldehyde (chalcone A [(E)-4'-hydroxy-4-methoxychalcone]), veratraldehyde (chalcone B [(E)-4'-hydroxy-3,4-dimethoxychalcone]), 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (chalcone C [(E)-4'-hydroxy-4-chlorochalcone]) and 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (chalcone D [(E)-2',4'-dihydroxy-4-chlorochalcone]) in methanol as solvent. The synthesis was carried out in alkaline condition (KOH) by stirring the mixture at room temperature for 48 h. The structures of products were identified by FTIR, GC-MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectrometers. The results showed that the chalcone derivatives (A-D) were yielded in 96; 97; 96; and 93%, respectively as yellow solid. The anticancer test indicated that the chalcone D was the most active towards T47D cell line with IC50 of 42.66 μg/mL and the chalcone C was the most active against WiDr cell line with IC50 of 20.42 μg/mL.
