Abstract

Krangean [Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers.] is one of ancient aromatic plants in Indonesia which is used as traditional medicines such as for carminative, stimulant, stomach ache and expectorant. Otherwise, the anticancer activity of this plant has not been explored extensively. This research aimed to investigate phytochemical content and cytotoxic activity of krangean fruits extract on human cancer cell line in vitro. The research was an in vitro experimental design and the cytotoxic activity was carried out with MMT assay.  The phytochemical compounds were characterized by TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography). MTT assay was done to observe morphology and viability of HeLa cervical cancer, MCF-7 breast cancer, and HepG2 liver cancer cell line. The results showed that TLC characterization of chloroform and methanolic extracts of Litsea cubeba revealed similar profile, with the major compound found were terpenoid and alkaloid. The MTT assay found that both extracts had strong inhibition on HeLa cell line. Chloroform extract exhibited stronger cytotoxic activities compared to methanol, with the IC50 values of 37.3 and 64.7 ?g/mL respectively. While, the both extract have moderate cytotoxic activities to HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cell line indicated by IC50value more than 100 mg/mL. The benefit of this study is to provide the scientific information regarding the potency of krangean fruit as herbal natural medicine for cervical cancer therapy.

Abstract

Cancer is one of the leading cause of death in the world. Complicated and high cost treatments of cancer encourages people to look for alternative treatments among others using medicinal plants. Some medicinal plants that are empirically claimed to have anticancer effect are soursop (Annona muricata), takokak (Solanum torvum), and bidara upas (Merremia mammosa). However, these medicinal herbs have not been tested for cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cancer cells. The purpose of this study was to determine the cytotoxic activity of the anticancer herbal formula consisting those three plants. The effect of each single extract and the combination formula were tested for their activity on cell viability of MCF-7 with MTT assay method. The herbal formula with the most active combination of medicinal plant extracts was further tested for its activity on the expression of Bcl-2 protein by immunocytochemistry methods. The results showed that each single extract and the combination formula gave cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Formula A, consisted of a mixture of soursop leaves, takokak fruit, and bidas upas bulb with a ratio of 1:1:1, results in highest inhibition of the viability of MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 48 µg/ml. The formula also enhances the apoptosis process in MCF-7 cells which is shown by decreasing the expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins.
