“…Hoy día no hay cura para la mayoría de cánceres a pesar de intensa investigación en fármacos sintéticos de acción selectiva (Dunn y Kramer, 2016). El uso de medicamentos herbales sigue siendo alternativa para aliviar síntomas del cáncer, pueden actuar como coadyuvantes en tratamientos de quimioterapia y radioterapia (Harvey et al, 2015;Zheng et al, 2016;Shareef et al, 2016).…”

RESUMENColombia posee gran diversidad de plantas medicinales, pero pocas han sido objeto de investigación. En este trabajo se evaluó la actividad antiproliferativa de aceites esenciales obtenidos por hidrodestilación asistida por microondas. Se analizaron 15 muestras de 11 especies en ensayos del MTT en células cancerosas MCF-7, HeLa y HepG-2 y se incluyeron células normales humanas (HEK293) y de animales (Vero y BF16F10) para evaluar selectividad. La composición química de muestras activas se determinó por cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas (GC-MS). Aceites esenciales de cuatro especies mostraron actividad antiproliferativa (CI 50 : 50 μg/mL) en células HeLa y/o MCF-7, en el siguiente rango (índice de selectividad en paréntesis): Piper cumanense H.B.K. (4,7) > Piper subflavum var. espejuelanum C.DC (3,9) > Salvia officinalis L. (3,6) > Piper eriopodom (Miq.) C. DC. (3,1). Ninguna muestra fue activa en células HepG-2. El análisis por CG-MS identificó β-cariofileno, α-copaeno, β-pineno, α-pineno y linalol como componentes mayoritarios. Los aceites esenciales activos pueden ser puntos de partida para desarrollo de medicamentos herbales para cuidado paliativo del cáncer.Palabras clave: aceite esencial, apoptosis, cáncer, fitoterapia, MTT. ABSTRACTColombia has a great diversity of medicinal plants, but few have been investigated. In this work, the antiproliferative activity of essential oils obtained by microwave-assisted hydrodistillation was evaluated. Fifteen samples from 11 species were analyzed in MTT assays in cancer cells MCF-7, HeLa and HepG-2, and normal human cells (HEK293) and animal cells (Vero and B16F10) were included to evaluate selectivity. The chemical composition of the active oils was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Essential oils from four species showed antiproliferative activity (IC 50 : <50 μg / mL) in HeLa and / or MCF-7 cells, in the following range (selectivity index in parenthesis): Piper cumanense H.B.K. (4.7) > Piper subflavum var. espejuelanum C. DC (3.9) > Salvia officinalis Linneo. (3.6) > Piper eriopodom (Miq.) C.DC. (31). The CG-MS analysis identified β-caryophyllene, α-copaene, β-pinene, α-pinene and linalool as major components. Active essential oils could serve as starting points to develop herbal medicines for cancer palliative care.

“…Therefore, response to a certain chemotherapeutic drug may differ in different patients and lack of proper treatment plan may increase the toxicity furthermore. One of the encouraging approaches to overcome drug toxicity is to look for alternative medicines that have less or selective toxicity toward cancer cells [4]. In recent years, many studies have demonstrated selective cytotoxicity of a variety of herbal compounds that can be used as potential chemotherapeutics [4].…”

Medicinal Plants - Use in Prevention and Treatment of Diseases

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Breast cancer is among the most common type of cancer in women around the globe. Prevention of breast cancer is better than its treatment. Because of the molecular variation and complexity underlying breast cancer occurrence, its treatment by using chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy is very complicated and often leads to undesirable side effects. Plants and their extracts have been used for centuries for the treatment of almost every disease and breast cancer is not an exception. Herbal products can be trusted for cancer treatment because of their low toxicity. Besides, herbal remedies are easily accepted by the majority of woman suffering from breast cancer because of their easy availability and affordability. In the last decade, a large number of plants and their compounds were reported to show promising anticancerous effects against breast cancer cells in both in vivo and in vitro models. However, their beneficial effects on breast cancer treatment are still doubtful due to the lack of randomized clinical trials. This chapter is dedicated to reporting the potential of some herbal products for the prevention and/or treatment of breast cancer. Besides, it focused on the anticarcinogenic mechanism of those phytocompounds to report their potential chemotherapeutic role.

“…Many natural products derived from dietary sources benefit breast cancer prevention and treatment . Phytotherapeutic products, such as Echinacea , Salvia , Allium sativum , and green tea, have been used as anti‐cancer agents, based on their rich content of phytochemicals . Anthocyanin, a kind of natural polyphenolic, is abundant in many fruits and vegetables including berries, red grapes, and red cabbages .…”

Delphinidin suppresses breast carcinogenesis through the HOTAIR/microRNA‐34a axis

Delphinidin, one of the main anthocyanidins, has potent anti‐cancer properties. In this study, we investigated the effect of delphinidin on 1‐methyl‐1‐nitrosourea (MNU)‐induced breast carcinogenesis on rats and the mechanism of delphinidin via negative regulation of the HOTAIR/microRNA‐34a axis. We found administration of delphinidin could effectively suppress MNU‐induced mammal breast carcinogenesis. Delphinidin downregulated the level of HOTAIR and upregulated miR‐34a in breast carcinogenesis. Western blot analysis confirmed that delphinidin treatment can significantly decrease the expression of β‐catenin, glycogen synthase kinase‐3β (Gsk3β), c‐Myc, cyclin‐D1, and matrix metalloproteinase‐7(MMP‐7) expression in breast cancer cells, and inhibition of miR‐34a significantly reduced the effect of delphinidin on c‐Myc, cyclin‐D1, and MMP‐7. HOTAIR overexpression also blocked the effect of delphinidin on miR‐34a and the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway in MDA‐MB‐231 cells. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay results showed that delphinidin upregulated miR‐34a by inhibiting HOTAIR, coupled with enhancement of the zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and histone H3 Lys27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). This study indicated that delphinidin may potentially suppress breast carcinogenesis and exert its anti‐cancer effect through the HOTAIR/miR‐34a axis. These findings provided new evidence for the use of delphinidin in preventing breast carcinogenesis.
