Abstract

Cervical cancer results from abnormal cell development in the cervix and is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Cancer treatment with chemotherapy drugs has dangerous side effects because it can attack normal cells. Gnetum gnemon L. seeds are known to possess anticancer potential. Therefore, natural ingredients are necessary to develop new cancer drug strategies with minimal side effects. This study aims to determine the anticancer activity of the ethanol fraction of Gnetum gnemon L. Seeds (EFGS) against HeLa cells. The research method used in this study was an identification test to detect compounds from EFGS using the TLC method and the HeLa cell cytotoxic test using the MTT Assay method. The results showed that EFGS contained stilbenoid group compounds based on TLC-Densitometry, with an Rf value of 0.22 cm. The cytotoxic test results on HeLa cells indicated an IC50 value of 784 µg/mL, classifying it as having the potential as a moderate category anticancer agent. Therefore, this study indicates that EFGS can be utilized as a chemopreventive agent.

Abstract

Cancer is one of the unresolved health problems in the world, including Indonesia. One of the most common types of cancer is colorectal cancer. Melinjo (Gnetum gnemon L.) is one of Indonesian local commodities which has many benefits including its potential to be developed as an anticancer agent. Through bioinformatics and molecular docking technology, the aim of this study was to investigate the functions of gnetin-C from melinjo against colorectal cancer. PkCSM database were used to search the ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity) properties and stitch-string database were used to identify common genes related to colon cancer. During identification of colon cancer related genes, STAT3 protein showed the highest degree score. Furthermore, molecular docking was carried out to find out the interaction between the STAT3 protein and gnetin c compound found in melinjo seeds. From the docking stage, the pose with the best affinity energy was obtained with a docking score of 1,966 kcal/mol. this shows that the compound gnetin c has the potential to be used as a new anticancer agent from natural ingredients.Keywords: Melinjo, Gnetum gnemon, colon cancer, bioinformatics, molecular docking.

Abstract

Cancer deaths increase every year, including in Indonesia. The low selectivity of chemotherapy agents and the resistance of cancer cells against chemotherapy agents is the main cause of chemotherapy treatment failure. It causes serious side effects in sufferers. Beside that, plants produce secondary metabolites which are being investigated for the anticancer activity that is used as new clinical drugs. Therefore we need research that uses plants as co-chemotherapy agents. Melinjo seeds (Gnetum gnemon L.) contain gnetin C has the potential to apoptosis WiDr colon cancer cells. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of Ethanol Fraction Melinjo Seed (EFMS) as a co-chemotherapy agent for colon cancer. The sample was maceration using 70% ethanol and fractionated with ethanol. Phytochemical screening with thin layer chromatography (TLC)-Densitometry, antioxidant test used the DPPH, while the cytotoxic activity of WiDr colon cancer cells and their combination with 5-Fluorouracil chemotherapy agent using the 3-(4,-5-dimethylthiazo-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) Assay, and also in silico test used molecular docking between gnetin C on EFMS and IKK and COX-2 proteins with the 5-FU. The results showed that EFMS contains gnetin C based on Rf value, has weak antioxidant activity with IC50 1227 μg/mL, weak cytotoxic activity in WiDr colon cancer cells with IC50 681 μg/mL and has combined activity synergistic with 5-Fluorouracil. Molecular docking showed gnetin C strong binding affinity against IKK and COX-2 proteins with scores -12.2 kcal/mol and -9.6 kcal/mol. The result concludes that EFMS has the potential to inhibit the development of cancer cells, especially WiDr colon cancer cells.Keywords: Gnetum gnemon L., Colon Cancer, Cytotoxic, Molecular docking, WiDr.
