Abstract

The pumpkin belongs to the family of Cucurbitaceae, is a well-known edible plant that has been frequently used as functional food or herbal medicine. Pumpkins contain rich unsaturated fatty acids, phytoestrogens and vitamins E in their seeds that have potential pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical properties. Information regarding their nutritional components and therapeutic properties of pumpkin seeds has expanded dynamically in the recent years and this review focus on the three main components of pumpkin seeds that described before. Several types of unsaturated fatty acids are the dominant component in pumpkin seeds which can play a role in the disease prevention and promote health. Pumpkin seeds also contain the important phytoestrogen compounds, i.e., secoisolariciresinol and lariciresinol that have estrogenic-like effect such as preventing hyperlipidemia and osteoporosis for menopausal women. Phytoestrogens in pumpkin seeds also could be related to a reduced hormone-dependent tumor. Pumpkin seeds are rich in vitamin E contents as an emerging free radical scavenger, anti-aging and antioxidant such as a-tocopherol and g-tocopherol. Findings of these studies prove that patents field for the innovation product of pumpkin seeds holds promise for the future along with their immense nutraceutical properties.Keywords : pumpkin seeds, estrogenic, anticancer, antioxidant, nutraceutical

Abstract

Highly and uncontrolled cell proliferation on cancer cells may boost ROS level intracellular accumulation up significantly. Sappan heartwood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) have been known to have cytotoxicity effect toward several cancer cells. This research was conducted to develop Caesalpinia sappan L. heartwood ethanolic extract (CSE) as chemopreventive agent which can be used as cancer therapy, looked from antioxidant and anti-senescence activity toward 4T1 breast cancer cell. CSE was obtained through maceration using ethanol 70% as solvent. Cytotoxicity activity of CSE was done by using MTT assay with IC50 as parameter. This IC50 was used as basic to the next assay, ROS assay by using DCFDA staining flowcytometry to look ROS level intracellular of CSE toward 4T1 cell and senescence assay by using senescence associated β-galactosidase (SA β-gal) assay with % cell senescence as their parameter. CSE toxic to 4T1 cell that proved from IC50 value of 25 µg/mL. Single treatment of CSE on concentration 12,5; 25; and 37.5 µg/mL able to suppress ROS level intracellular. If compared with untreated cell, single treatment of CSE on concentration 6 and 12 µg/mL showed % cell senescence not significantly different. Based on this result, CSE is cytotoxic, has antioxidant and antisenescence activity, so it has great potential to developed as chemoprevention agent on cancer therapy.Keywords : Caesalpinia sappan L., 4T1 breast cancer line, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), anti-senescence
