Abstract

Prostate Cancer (PC) ruins a foremost cause of death of males in the US as well its growth rate is increased in the rest of the world. The current learning aims to perform a preliminary photochemical analysis by the successive extraction of the bark of Annona reticulata L. using petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethanol. The isolation, structure elucidation and identification of Taraxerol and check up in vitro study in prostate carcinoma. The structure was elucidated by spectroscopic techniques included Thin Layer chromatography (TLC) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), UV and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometric (GC-MS). The prostate cell lines, LNCaP and PC-3 cell lines was cultured and antiproliferative effect by MTT Method, Neutral red cytotoxicity, measurement of LDH release, determinations of apoptosis by Acridine Orange (AO) and Ethidium Bromide (EB) double staining. Inhibition of protein denaturation, caspase levels by indirect ELISA and DNA fragmentation was performed. Investigation of the phytochemical summary on the bark of A. reticulata L. reports the occurrence of flavonoids, saponins, triterpenoid and tannins. In-vitro experiments show the selected compound exhibited of cytotoxicity against the cancer cell lines. An increase in caspase activity or caspase levels is generally considered as indicators of cellular apoptosis. The compounds to prevent heat associated denaturation of albumin are measured as a screening method for assessing anti-inflammatory potential of compounds.

Highlights

  • The current investigation deals with the qualitative and quantitative pharmacognostical assessment of the bark of A. reticulata L. investigation reports the isolation of a triterpenoid glycoside from the bark of A. reticulata L

  • The pellet was resuspended in 0.5 mL of lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, 5 mM EDTA, 200 mM NaCl, 0.2% SDS) and incubated at 60°C for 5 min. 2.5 μL of Thermo Scientific Proteinase K (Cat #EO0491, EO0492) and 5 μL of Thermo Scientific RNase A/T1 Mix (Cat #EN0551) were added to it. It was incubated at 60°C for 1 h. 250 μL of 5 M NaCl was added drop by drop and mixing was done properly follow by incubation on ice for 5 min to precipitate protein and centrifugation done for 15 min at 10,000 rpm in a micro centrifuge and the supernatant transferred to a fresh tube equal volume of isopropanol added to it and mixed well still the precipitate of the double stranded nucleic acid (DNA) is formed The cells were again centrifuged for 10 min at 10,000 rpm in a micro centrifuge complete supernatant was discarded and the pellet was washed by means of 1.2 mL 70% cold ethanol the DNA pellet is dried and suspended in TE buffer

  • Phytochemical investigation of petroleumether, chloroform, etanolic extract of A. reticulata L. were recorded and bark extract show the presence of phytochemical constituents namely, Pet ether extract gives: +ve test for Sterols, Fats and Fixed oils

Summary

Introduction

Phytochemical and pharmacological activities of components imply a broad range of clinical application in lieu of cancer therapy Some of these plants exhibited a wide range of biological activities such as cytotoxicity [1]. The human prostate cancer cell lines, PC-3 and LNCaP, were beforehand cycled in vivo to choose for tremendously metastatic variant from sentinel lymph node metastasis. These human cancer models contain proven highly advantageous to the prostate cancer research community [3]. These cells are useful in investigating the biochemical changes in advanced prostatic cancer cells and in assessing their response to chemotherapeutic agents They can be used to create subcutaneous tumors in mice in order to investigate a model of the tumor environment in the context of the organism [4]. A triterpenoid compound, has potent anti-inflammatory effects according to review of literature statistics suggest that Taraxerol down regulates the turn of phrase of proinflammatory mediators in macrophages by interfering with the activation of TAK1 and Akt, prevent NF-κB activation [5]
