Abstract

Chemotherapeutic agents for breast cancer such as doxorubicin can attack normal cells as the side effects. Chromolaena odorata L. and its chemical content, sinensetin, have potential anticancer  and  antioxidant  properties.  The  objective  of  this  research  is  to  examine  the anticancer properties of C. odorata leaves extract and sinensetin on 4T1 triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells combined with doxorubicin. The MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium  bromide)  assay  on  4T1  cells  was  used  to  determine  the  IC50 and the Combination  Index  (CI)  of  the  two  agents  in  combination.  Washing  out the  treatment  and determining  the  cells  viability  after  a  few  days  was done  to evaluate  the  persistence  of the  effects  to  cancer  cells.  Chromolaena odorata  extract  (COE)  obtained  was  proven  to contain  sinensetin  which  gave  a positive  signal  on  the  chromatogram.  COE  and  sinensetin were  moderately  cytotoxic  to  4T1  cells  with  IC50  value  of  53  μg/mL  and  58  μM  (21.6 μg/mL), respectively. Both compounds were synergist (CI<0.7) to strong synergist (CI<0.3) when combined with doxorubicin (IC50 90 nM = 0.05 μg/mL). COE and sinensetin exhibited moderate and not cytotoxic against Vero cells with IC50 values of 60 μg/mL and 243 μM (90.43 μg/mL), respectively. Both COE and sinensetin showed selectivity index values of >1 (1.13 and 4.19, respectively).  Moreover,  the  cytotoxic  effects  of  COE  on  4T1  cells  was  persisted  until  48  h after  removing  COE  from  the  medium,  indicating  the  tumor-suppression  potency  of  COE. Our findings strengthen the scientific basis of C. odorata leaves extract to be developed as a co-chemotherapeutics agent for doxorubicin on TNBC.Keywords: Chromolaena odorata L., breast cancer cells, doxorubicin, co-chemotherapy, kidney cells.

Abstract

Continuous research and development to obtain novel anti-lung cancer agents is essential, considering the high prevalence and mortality of the disease. The biflavonoid compounds of Selaginella doederleinii showed significant anticancer activities. This study aims to determine the cytotoxic and cell migration inhibition properties of ethyl acetate extract of Selaginella doederleinii (EAESD) against HTB-183 cells through in silico and in vitro methods. This study started with extraction and then identified biflavonoids in EAESD by HPLC. In vitro analysis was conducted through MTT Assay to observe the cytotoxic properties of EAESD and Wound Scratch Healing Assay to observe its cell migration inhibitory properties. In silico studies to obtain the potential anti-lung cancer compounds and their protein targets were conducted through bioinformatics, combining PASS analysis, Swiss Target Prediction, and STITCH. The obtained compounds and protein targets were analyzed in Molecular Docking to evaluate the binding affinities. The result showed that EAESD contained biflavonoid compounds, exhibited cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 190 μg/ml, and inhibited the migration rate of HTB-183 cells. Based on in silico analysis, the three biflavonoids with the highest potential of antilung cancer activity along with their target protein are robustaflavone 7,4-dimethyl ether with EGFR, heveaflavone with ESR1, and 7,4',7'',4'''-tetra-O-methyl-amentoflavonewith TNF. All compounds can bind to each protein target with the docking score -9.2 kcal/mol, -9.5 kcal/mol, and -6.5 kcal/mol, respectively.

Abstract

Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) is an essential oncogene in breast cancer. HER-2 causes 25% of breast cancer, and this type of cancer tends to grow and spread faster than others but had a good response to HER-2 targeted therapy. This study aims to analyze chemical compounds in saffron plants (Crocus sativus) that potential to breast anticancer activity by inhibiting HER-2 receptor (PDB ID: 3RCD). The study employed in silico research such as molecular docking using AutoDock Tools software, and visualization with Biovia Discovery Studio. In addition, molecular dynamic simulation was conducted using GROMACS software, with visualization performed using Grace. The molecular docking results showed that Crocetin has a lower binding energy value of -8.37 kcal/mol compared to Herceptin, which is -7.11 kcal/mol and the lowest energy among Saffron bioactive compounds. These results indicated that the affinity of Crocetin in binding to HER-2 receptor is better than Herceptin. The molecular interactions were hydrogen, hydrophobic, electrostatic, and unfavorable bonds. The MD results showed that the RMSD value meets the 0.2-0.5 nm stability requirements. According to the data analysis, Herceptin appears to have a more stable RMSF value when compares to Crocetin. The Rg graph of both complexes showed stability until the end of the simulation. The H-bond results show that the Herceptin complex has more hydrogen bonds than the Crocetin complex. These results showed that the chemical components of saffron plants have the potential as breast anticancers by inhibiting the HER-2 receptor.Keywords: anticancer, Crocus sativus, HER-2 receptor, molecular docking, molecular dynamic.

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of liver cancer. Curcuminoids are natural polyphenol compounds abundant in Curcuma heyneana ethanolic extract (CHE) and are known to inhibit breast and cervical cancer cell proliferation. Based on previous research, curcuminoid compounds have been studied to inhibit the growth of the liver cancer cell model, HepG2. This study aims to examine the potential of CHE as a chemopreventive agent in liver cancer using JHH-4 cell as a model. CHE was obtained by maceration method using ethanol which was then identified for its phytochemical profile using thin layer chromatography (TLC). Then TLC results were quantified to calculate the levels of compounds present in the CHE based on spot intensity with ImageJ software. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) antioxidant assay was conducted to determine the radical scavenging activity of CHE. Cytotoxic activity of CHE on JHH-4 liver cancer cells was tested by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Extraction produces a yield of 10.2 %w/w. CHE contains 4.52 %w/w curcuminoid compound consisting of 0.49 %w/w curcumin, 3.21 %w/w demethoxycurcumin, and 0.82% w/w bisdemethoxycurcumin. CHE exhibited antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 378.96 μg/mL, meanwhile ascorbic acid as a positive control has an IC50 value of 8.49 μg/mL. Cytotoxic activity of CHE on JHH-4 cells is characterized by an IC50 value of 16.62 μg/mL which is classified as having strong cytotoxic activity. This study concluded that CHE has the potential to be developed as a chemopreventive agent in liver cancer.Keywords: liver cancer, hepatocelullar carcinoma, Chemopreventive, antioxidant,Curcuma heyneana.

Abstract

The Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) is the gold standard for the assessment of lung cancer progression. However, the assessment and diagnosis of early treatment failure is challenging due to the limitations of current tools, as well as the long intervals and unavoidable side effects.This study aims to correlate volatile organic compound (VOC) patterns, serum level of interleukin-23 (IL-23), and RECIST 1.1 to assess chemotherapy response in lung cancer patients at Saiful Anwar Hospital. A prospective observational study was performed to 47 lung cancer patients who received three cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy. Using the Breath Analyzer to measure certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the study observed that three of the seven VOCs examined, formaldehyde (CH2O), toluene (C7H8), and hexane (C6H14), showed lower levels after three cycles of chemotherapy. Furthermore, there was a negative correlation between RECIST1.1 and acetone (C3H6O) (p=0.023), while RECIST1.1 and methane (CH4) had a positive correlation (p=0.011). Moreover, a significant positive correlation was observed between IL-23 after-chemotherapy and RECIST 1.1 (p=0.000). According to this study, a correlation exists between methane, IL-23, and RECIST 1.1 after three cycles of chemotherapy. The increase in methane and IL-23 aligns with the disease progression determined by RECIST 1.1. Furthermore, The decrease in acetone after chemotherapy showed a negative correlation with RECIST1.1, consistent with disease progression.Keywords: Volatile Organic Compound, Interleukin-23, RECIST 1.1.

Abstract

The incidence of anemia due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) can be caused by a side effect of cisplatin chemotherapy, namely myelosuppression. In the presence of ROS, external antioxidants are needed, including astaxanthin as an antioxidant to neutralize and fight ROS in preventing anemia. This study aims to prove and analyze the antioxidant effect of astaxanthin in preventing anemia in HNC patients due to cisplatin chemotherapy for 3 weeks. The study design was a randomized controlled trial pre-post test design, involving 42 research subjects who were randomly divided into two groups, then 3 cc of blood was taken I to check the hemoglobin level and the number of erythrocytes. The treatment group was given astaxanthin 2x4 mg and the control group was given a combination of vitamin C 1x500 mg and vitamin E 1x250 IU for 3 weeks then 3 cc of blood was taken II to check hemoglobin levels and erythrocyte counts. The independent variable is intake of astaxanthin, the dependent variable is hemoglobin level and the number of erythrocytes and the confounding variables are age, sex, type of HNC, stage of HNC, ECOG and BMI. Data analysis was performed by the Descriptive test, Levene test, Shapiro Wilks, Wilcoxon test, and Mann-Whitney test. The significance of the hypothesis test was obtained with p<0.05. The 42 research subjects met the inclusion criteria, most aged between 41-50 years, male and female ratio 2:1, The most HNC were Nasopharyngeal Cancer, the most HNC stage was stage IV, the most HNC performance status was ECOG I and the most HNC patients had normal BMI. There was a significant difference in hemoglobin levels p=0.012 (p<0.05) and the number of erythrocytes, p=0.04 (p<0.05) between the treatment and control groups. There was a significant difference in hemoglobin levels after therapy in the treatment and control groups p=0.012 (p<0.05) and the number of erythrocytes p=0.04 (p<0.05) between the treatment and control groups.

Abstract

The overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight is related to photoaging of the skin and high risk of skin cancer. Sunscreen material and antioxidants are commonly used to protect skin from harmful UV. However, the application of synthetic compounds in sunscreen products is regulated to a limited amount because it can produce photosensitizers, inducing adverse reactions in the skin, and also harmful to the environment. Ethanol extract of Phyllanthus urinaria L. herb possesses a strong antioxidant activity similar to ascorbic acid, which makes it potential to substitute the synthetic compound in sunscreen products. Therefore, this research was conducted on the 70% ethanol extract of P. urinaria herb to analyze its in vitro anti-photoaging properties, i.e., antioxidant, protein antiglycation and antiinflammation, also to determine the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) and the quantitative composition of the metabolites. The extract exhibited a strong antioxidant activity IC50 of 3.01 mg/L, a higher moderate antiglycation activity IC50 of 216.67 mg/L, but low anti-inflammatory activity IC50 of 86.61mg/L. The presence of saponin, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, and methyl linoleates is suggested to contribute to the anti-photoaging properties. According to the anti-inflammatory assay, the extract may not inhibit signaling pathways that follow cytokine expression but possibly inhibit those that precede cytokine expression due to its antioxidant activity. An SPF value of 5.95 at 50 mg/L meets the recommended range for the skin phototypes of Southeast Asian, dark-skinned Asian, and African people. These results indicate that P. urinaria extract has potential as an anti-photoaging material for sunscreen products.Keywords: antiglycation, antiinflammation, antioxidation, Phyllanthus urinaria L., SPF.

Abstract

Breast cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women with 685,000 deaths in 2020. Exploring natural compounds with minimal side effects has emerged as a potential treatment. However, utilizing natural substances faces challenges, such as poor bioavailability, requiring technologies like nanotechnology to enhance absorption. This study focuses on evaluating Ethanol Extract of Selaginella doederleinii (EESD) as an anticancer against MCF-7, both in silico, in vitro methode and develop a formulation of EESD nanoparticle effervescent granules. This study commenced with extraction, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) identification, in silico studies, namely bioinformatics and molecular docking, 3-(4,-5-dimethylthiazo-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) Assay tests on MCF-7, and the formulation of nanoparticle preparations. EESD was extracted using the maceration method, resulting in an extract weighing 103.5 grams with a 6.9% yield. GC-MS identified three major compounds—cyclopentadecanoic, 2-hydroxy; hexadecanoic acid; and 9-octadecanoid, methyl ester. Bioinformatics revealed interactions with specific protein targets, and molecular docking indicated hexadecanoic acid's superior binding to TP53, surpassing paclitaxel at -8.7 kcal/mol. This suggests its potential to modulate TP53, impacting P53's role in impeding cancer cell growth. EESD exhibited an IC50 of 215μg/mL, signifying moderate cytotoxicity. In formulating nanoparticle effervescent granules, five formulas were transformed into nanoparticles and underwent organoleptic, pH, granule dissolution, and water content evaluations. Formula I is the formula that best meets the criteria with a pH of 6.55, granule dissolution <5 minutes, and water content <4%. The research results indicate that EESD shows anticancer activity against MCF-7 and this study has successfully developed a formula of nanoparticle from EESD in effervescent granule form.Keywords: Selaginella doederleinii, breast cancer, co-Cemotheraphy, MCF-7 Cell, in silico.

Abstract

Cisplatin (Cisp) is a non-specific chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer. Hesperetin (HST), a flavanone found in various citrus fruits, exhibits bioactive properties, functioning as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer agent. The objective of this research was to investigate the potential of HST as a co-chemotherapeutic agent in conjunction with Cisp, specifically focusing on its cytotoxic effects against 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells and senescence modulatory effect on Vero normal kidney cells. The cytotoxic effect and viability cell of HST were evaluated through 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) assay. In addition, the effect of cellular senescence inhibition on the Vero cell line was measured using senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining. In the MTT assay, both HST and cisplatin demonstrated a reduction in the viability of 4T1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, yielding IC50 values of 498 μM and 2 μM, respectively. The co-treatment of HST and cisplatin showed an increase in sensitivity of the 4T1 cells with a combination index of <1. HST showed low cytotoxic activity against Vero cells, with IC50 values of over 500 μM. HST decreased cellular senescence induced by cisplatin exposure on Vero cells. These results indicated that HST in co-treatment with cisplatin decreased 4T1 cell viability synergistically. HST independently reduces the cellular senescence of normal cells. Consequently, HST holds promise for potential development as a co-treatment agent in combination with cisplatin for breast cancer cells, and it may also serve as an alternative for counteracting senescence in healthy tissues.Keywords: cytotoxic, senescence, hesperetin, cisplatin, breast cancer.
