As a part of our investigation on Tunisian medicinal plants, we have carried out a phytochemical investigation of the hexane extracts from leaves of Cistus libanotis, C. villosus and C. monspeliensis, evualuating also their possible antiproliferative activity in vitro.
The major compounds of hexane extracts were identified and quantified by GC-MS. The composition of the three species, although belonging to the same genus, is completely different. The antiproliferative activity was evaluated against murine monocyte/macrophages (J774.A1), human melanoma cells (A-375), and human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), showing major activity against the human melanoma cell line A-375.
The chemical composition of the hexane extracts from the three Cistus species can be useful in the chemosystematics of this complex genus. The preliminary antiproliferative activity against human melanoma cell line A-375 deserve further investigations in order to determine the compounds, or their combinations, which are the main responsible for the antiproliferative activity and its possible mechanism(s) of action.
作为我们对突尼斯药用植物研究的一部分,我们对乳香黄连木、毛黄连木和蒙斯佩利黄连木叶的己烷提取物进行了植物化学研究,并评估了它们在体外可能的抗增殖活性。
通过气相色谱 - 质谱联用(GC-MS)对己烷提取物的主要化合物进行了鉴定和定量。这三个物种虽然属于同一属,但其成分完全不同。对鼠单核细胞/巨噬细胞(J774.A1)、人黑色素瘤细胞(A - 375)和人乳腺癌细胞(MCF - 7)进行了抗增殖活性评估,结果显示对人黑色素瘤细胞系A - 375具有主要活性。
这三种黄连木属植物己烷提取物的化学成分有助于该复杂属的化学分类学研究。针对人黑色素瘤细胞系A - 375的初步抗增殖活性值得进一步研究,以确定对抗增殖活性及其可能作用机制起主要作用的化合物或其组合。
