PHYTOCHEMICALS ANALYSIS AND CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITY OF Lansium domesticum Corr EXTRACT-CISPLATIN COMBINATION AGAINST PANC-1 CELL LINE

Abstract

The use of chemotherapy such as cisplatin in treating cancer alone can cause many problems, including side effects and resistance. Therefore, currently, efforts are being made to combine cisplatin with natural ingredients such as ethanol extract from duku leaves. Then extracted using ethanol as a solvent. The secondary metabolites of the extract were identified using LC-MS/MS with mobile phase A (0.1 percent formic acid in water) and phase B (0.1 percent formic acid in acetonitrile). The extract and cisplatin were determined by their IC50 values as the basis for carrying out the combination test using the MTT method. All data obtained were processed with Microsoft Excel and analyzed with SPSS 23. The ethanol extract of duku leaves contains about 15 compounds that cannot be clearly identified because they are not listed in the LC-MS/MS library used. Interestingly, there were 5 compounds that gave a sufficiently large absorption each at a retention time of 1.08; 5.18; 9.45; 9.57; 10.70; and 10.82. Cisplatin has stronger cytotoxic properties than the extract with IC50 values of 3.02±0.05 µg/mL and 28.61±0.13 µg/mL, respectively. The combination of these two substances is synergistic with a combination index <1. the combination of extract and cisplatin at doses of 1.75:0.75 and 1.75:0.375 had very strong synergy with a combination index of 0.01 (p>0.05). However, the mechanism of action of this combination is not yet known clearly, so further research is needed on it.
