Abstract

Objective: This study focuses on Stachys officinalis (L.) Trevisan subsp. balcanica (P.W. Ball) R. Bhattacharjee aiming to elucidate its essential oil's chemical composition and evaluate its potential in cancer treatment. Material and Method: In this study, plant specimens were collected from Bolu province, Turkey. The collected plant material was authenticated and prepared according to herbarium techniques. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger apparatus. Thin layer chromatography was employed for preliminary analysis of the essential oil's compound groups. For further chemical component separation and identification, gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used. Antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities were assessed via the MTT assay on Caco-2 colon cancer cells and Vero normal cells. Result and Discussion: Phytochemical analysis of S. officinalis subsp. balcanica essential oil (SOBEO) identified 32 compounds, representing 82.7% of the oil, with α-selinene (12.1%), β-selinene (11.4%), and β-caryophyllene (7.2%) as the major constituents. Several components uncommon in other Stachys species suggest chemovarietal diversity. SOBEO (5 μg/ml) inhibited Caco-2 colon cancer cell growth by 41.56% at 48 h, while showing no significant cytotoxicity toward Vero cells. This study provides the first comprehensive characterization of the chemical profile and anticancer potential of this subspecies, addressing a key gap in current knowledge.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Stachys officinalis (L.) Trevisan subsp. balcanica (P.W. Ball) R. Bhattacharjee bitkisinin uçucu yağının fitokimyasal bileşimini belirlemek ve kolon kanserine karşı potansiyel antiproliferatif ve sitotoksik etkilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bitki örnekleri Türkiye’nin Bolu ilinden toplanmış, teşhis edilmiş ve herbaryum tekniklerine uygun şekilde saklanmıştır. Uçucu yağ, Clevenger düzeneği kullanılarak hidrodistilasyon yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Bileşikler önce ince tabaka kromatografisi ile ön analize tabi tutulmuş, ardından gaz kromatografisi ve gaz kromatografisi-kütle spektrometresi ile tanımlanmıştır. Antiproliferatif ve sitotoksik aktiviteler, Caco-2 kolon kanseri hücreleri ve Vero normal hücreleri üzerinde MTT testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç ve Tartışma: Uçucu yağda toplam %82.7’yi oluşturan 32 bileşen belirlenmiştir. Başlıca bileşenler α-selinen (%12.1), β-selinen (%11.4) ve β-karyofillen (%7.2) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Caco-2 hücrelerinde 5 μg/ml SOBEO uygulaması, 48 saat sonunda %41.56 oranında büyüme inhibisyonu sağlamıştır. Vero hücrelerinde anlamlı düzeyde toksisite gözlenmemiştir. Bazı bileşenlerin diğer Stachys türlerinde tipik olarak bulunmaması, tür içi kemovaryetal çeşitliliğe işaret etmiştir. S. officinalis subsp. balcanica uçucu yağının seçici antikanser aktivite gösterdiği ve kimyasal bileşim açısından özgün özellikler taşıdığı belirlenmiştir. Bulgular, bu alttürün hem fitokimyasal yapısına hem de biyolojik aktivitesine yönelik ilk kapsamlı verileri sunmaktadır. Konu ile ilgili daha ileri çalışmalar, aktif bileşenlerin izolasyonu ve mekanizma temelli aktivite çalışmaları ile desteklenmelidir.
