A study on the anti-oxidant and anti-cancer activity of Pleiogynium solandri (Benth.) Engl. against ovarian cancer cells (SK-OV-3)
Keywords:
Pleiogynium solandri (Benth.) Engl, GC-MS Analysis, SKOV3, Flow cytometry, cytotoxic assayAbstract
The Present study was focused on evaluating the Antioxidant and cytotoxic potentials of methanolic extract of different parts of Pleiogynium solandri (Benth.) Engl. The GC/MS analysis of the Pleiogynium solandri leaves revealed the presence of seven Bioactive compounds proven to have significant therapeutic effects including Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, Anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic effects inducing apoptosis in ovarian and Breast cancer cells. The Pleiogynium solandri leaf was found to be more potent than bark and fruit regarding its cytotoxic effectiveness against Ovarian cancer cells (SK-OV-3). The Bark extract was found to have a significant antioxidant effect as compared to Leaf and Fruit. The FACS (Fluorescence-activated cell sorting) studies using a Flow cytometer gave cell populations at different stages of the cell cycle affected by test concentrations with propidium iodide as a dye. The FACS analysis showed cell cycle arrest at the 'S' phase of the cell cycle due to the influence of crude drugs.
