Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common and deadly forms of cancer in the world. Cancer is a multi-factorial disease. Genetic factors, environment and lifestyle have a role in the development of cancer. One of the mechanisms of cancer development is when an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the human body occurs. Uncontrolled and excessive amount of free radicals and cause cell damage and uncontrolled cell growth. Clitoria ternate is a plant that is often found in Asia and many of the benefits of this flower have been studied. This study aims to determine the phytochemical constituents, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxic activity of Clitoria ternatea against T47D breast cancer cells. Method: Clitoria ternatea in the form of dry powder is macerated in a multi-level manner with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol as solvents, producing a Clitoria ternatea extract of the respective solvents. Each extract is then evaluated for its phytochemical constituents, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxic activity using phytochemical test, thin layer chromatography (TLC), DPPH assay, and MTT assay respectively. Results: Phytochemical analysis of Clitoria ternatea shows the presence of glycosides, flavonoids, tannins and triterpenoids with TLC revealing the presence of ten phytochemical constituents. DPPH assay reveals that Clitoria ternatea exhibits a very active antioxidant activity. MTT assay revels Clitoria ternatea has a high cytotoxic activity towards T47D breast cancer cell line with IC50 value ranging from 1.27 μg/mL to 32.38 μg/mL. Conclusion: Chemical constituents of Clitoria ternatea is responsible for the antioxidant and cytotoxic activity towards T47D breast cancer cell line.

Abstract

Systematic researches for breast cancer are ran in Indonesia with its flora resources and therapeutic potentials as prospective towards cancer cells through studies concerning phytochemical contents, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxicity. The aim of this research is to obtain Ulva lactuca abundant potential that is available in Indonesia as antioxidant and anticancer towards breast cancer cell MCF-7. Ulva lactuca is extracted by maceration with solvents which are n-hexane, ethyl-acetate, and ethanol, ensuing extracts of n-hexane, ethyl-acetate and ethanol. The extracts later collected and tested through phytochemical and TLC analysis. The DPPH assay determines the extracts’ antioxidant activity as a radical scavenger and MTT assay evaluates the cytotoxicity towards MCF-7 cells. Phytochemical screening revealed secondary metabolites triterpenoids, steroids, and glycosides in Ulva lactuca. The TLC resulted that there are 11 phytochemical components. From DPPH assay, ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of Ulva lactuca are classified to have very active antioxidant activity against DPPH free radicals, with IC50 of 3.514 ?g/mL and 33.770 ?g/mL, respectively. From MTT assay, n-hexane extract gives IC50 value of 70.496 ?g/mL, and ethyl-acetate extract gives IC50 value of 50.883 ?g/mL towards MCF-7 cells, both have moderate anticancer activity. Whereas the ethanol extract gives IC50 value of 11.920 ?g/mL on MCF-7 cells which considered to have active anticancer activity. Ethanol extract of Ulva lactuca that has a strong antioxidant and cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells should be further develop as an anti-breast cancer agent.

Abstract

Autophagy is a tightly regulated catabolic process that enables cancer cells to survive under metabolic stress and contributes to the development of chemoresistance. Targeting autophagy has therefore emerged as a promising strategy to enhance cancer therapy efficacy. Flavonoids, a diverse class of polyphenolic compounds abundantly found in plants, have gained considerable attention due to their broad-spectrum biological activities, including anticancer effects. Recent studies highlight their ability to modulate key signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy. Several flavonoids, such as fisetin, apigenin, and quercetin, exhibit roles as autophagy modulators depending on the cellular context, offering therapeutic flexibility. Their low toxicity and synergistic potential with conventional drugs underscore their relevance as adjuvant agents. This review discusses the critical role of autophagy in cancer progression and drug resistance, and examines current evidence supporting the integration of flavonoids as autophagy modulators in the design of more effective and targeted anticancer strategies, particularly in breast cancer therapy.

Abstract

Oxidative stress is a condition in which there is an imbalance between production of free radicals and protective response via antioxidant system. There are endogenous and exogenous antioxidants, however as age increases, there is a reduction in endogenous antioxidant, thus the search for potential exogenous antioxidants which could be derived from natural resources are needed. Indonesia is a megabiodiversity country which has more than 30,000 species of plants and animals. Red seaweed Eucheuma sp. is one of marine macroalgae species which shows potent biological activities. This study aims to determine the phytochemical constituent and to evaluate the antioxidant activity of red algae Eucheuma sp. Seaweed Eucheuma sp. obtained from Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia, were extracted by maceration process using three solvents, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol, sequentially. Each extract was analyzed for its phytochemical constituents by phytochemistry screening, thin layer chromatography, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and total triterpenoid content. Evaluation of antioxidant activity for ethyl acetate extract and ethanol extract were done using DPPH method. Phytochemical analysis of Eucheuma sp. shows positive result for steroid and triterpenoid. Thin layer chromatography analysis of the Eucheuma sp. extracts showed total of 11 phytochemical constituents. Quantitative analysis revealed that the highest value in ethyl acetate extract, with total phenolic content of 29.57 mg gallic acid equivalent/g extract, total flavonoid content of 0.54 mg quercetin equivalent/g extract, and total triterpenoid content of 1.08 mg ursolic acid equivalent/g extract. Moreover, ethylacetate extract of Eucheuma sp. demonstrated an active antioxidant activity against DPPH free radical with IC50 value of 27.96 µg/mL. Thus, ethylacetate extract of Eucheuma sp. derived from Lombok, Indonesia, has a potential to be developed as a natural antioxidant.
