Abstract

Objectives: Cnidoscolus aconitifolius Mill. I.M.Johnst. is a medicinal plant widely used in ethnomedicine for the treatment of cancer and otherdiseases.Materials and Methods: The effects of methanol extracts of the leaf, stem, and root barks were evaluated on breast (MCF-7) and lung (NCI-H460)cancer cells at 1-250 µg/mL using the SRB assay and the extracts were screened for phytochemicals using the standard method.Results: The stem and root extracts showed no activity at the maximum concentration, while the leaf extract at 100 µg/mL showed remarkable cellgrowth inhibition against breast (-14.50±0.58) and lung cancer (+53.29±4.57) in vitro. The extracts showed the presence of saponins, terpenes,cardiac glycosides, and phenolic compounds. Partitioning of the active leaf extract further enhanced its activity as the chloroform fraction exhibitedGI50, LC50, and total growth inhibition (TGI) of 22.5, 68.75, and 43.75 µg/mL against breast cancer, respectively, and GI50 and TGI of 35.4 and 55.8 µg/mL against lung cancer cells, respectively. However, the aqueous fraction showed no cytotoxicity against either cell line.Conclusion: These results justified the ethnomedicinal uses of the plant against tumor-related ailments. Isolation of the constituents responsiblefor the observed activity needs to be carried out to further support this claim.

Özet

Amaç: Cnidoscolus aconitifolius Mill. I.M.Johnst. kanser ve diğer hastalıkların tedavisinde yaygın olarak kullanılan tıbbi bir bitkidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Yaprak, kök ve kök kabuklarının metanol ekstrelerinin etkileri, SRB yöntemi kullanılarak 1-250 µg/mL konsantrasyonda meme (MCF-7) ve akciğer (NCI-H460) kanser hücreleri üzerinde değerlendirilmiş ve ekstrelerin fitokimyasal içeriği standart yöntem kullanılarak taranmıştır. Bulgular: Gövde ve kök ekstreleri maksimum konsantrasyonda aktivite göstermezken, yaprak ekstresi 100 µg/mL dozda meme (-14,50±0,58) ve akciğer kanserine (+53,29±4,57) karşı belirgin in vitro hücre büyümesi inhibisyonu göstermiştir. Ekstrelerde saponinler, terpenler, kardiyak glikozitler ve fenolik bileşiklerin varlığı saptanmıştır. Aktif yaprak ekstresinin fraksiyonlanması ile kloroform fraksiyonunda meme kanseri hücrelerine karşı sırasıyla 22,5, 68,75 ve 43,75 µg/mL GI50, LC50 ve toplam büyüme inhibisyonu (TGI) değerleriyle; akciğer kanseri hücrelerine karşı sırasıyla 35,4 ve 55,8 µg/mL GI50 ve TGI değerleriyle aktivitenin arttığı tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, sulu fraksiyon her iki hücre hattına karşı sitotoksik etki göstermemiştir.Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar, bitkinin tümörle ilgili hastalıklara karşı etnomedikal kullanımını desteklemiştir. Bu kaydın desteklenmesi için ileri çalışmalarda aktiviteden sorumlu bileşiklerin izole edilmesi gerekmektedir.
