Abstract
In this research, we formulated new chemotherapeutic copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) containing Allium noeanum Reut. ex Regel leaf for treating human endometrial cancer. For investigating the antioxidant activitiy, the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test was used. MTT test was used on normal (Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)) and human endometrial cancer (Ishikawa, HEC-1-A, HEC-1-B, and KLE) cell lines for comparing the anti-human endometrial cancer properties of Cu(NO3)2, A. noeanum leaf aqueous extract, and copper nanoparticles. Copper nanoparticles had high cell death and anti-human endometrial cancer effects against Ishikawa, HEC-1-A, HEC-1-B, and KLE cell lines. The IC50 of A. noeanum leaf aqueous extract and copper nanoparticles against HEC-1-B cell line were 548 and 331 µg/mL, respectively; against HEC-1-A cell line were 583 and 356 µg/mL, respectively; against KLE cell line were 609 and 411 µg/mL, respectively; and against Ishikawa cell line were 560 and 357 µg/mL, respectively. Among the above cell lines, the best result of anti-human endometrial cancer properties of copper nanoparticles was gained in the cell line of HEC-1-B. This study indicated excellent anti-human endometrial cancer potentials of copper nanoparticles containing A. noeanum in the in vitro condition.
