Abstract
Lansium domesticum is identified as a potential source of anticancer compounds. However, there are minimal studies on its anti-lung cancer properties as well as its mechanism of action. Here, we show the specificity of lanzones hexane (LH) leaf extracts to non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549) compared to normal lung fibroblast cells (CCD19-Lu) and normal epithelial prostate cells (PNT2). Subsequent bioassay-guided fractionation of the hexane leaf extracts identified two bioactive fractions with IC50 values of 2.694 μg/ml (LH6-6) and 2.883 μg/ml (LH7-6). LH 6-6 treatment (1 μg/ml concentration) also showed a significantly reduced migration potential of A549 relative to the control. Thirty-one phytocompounds were isolated and identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (MS) analysis and were then subjected to network pharmacology analysis to assess its effects on lung cancer target proteins. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry proteomics experiments, we were able to show that these compounds cause cytotoxic effects through targeting mitochondrial processes in A549 lung cancer cells.
