Unmonitored use of plant extractions alone or in combination with drugs may cause important health problems and toxic effects. Limonium (Plumbaginaceae) plants are known as antibacterial, anticancer and antivirus agent. But it is possible that this genus may have toxic effects. This study evaluated the mutagenic and cytotoxic effects of Limonium globuliferum (Boiss. et Heldr.) O. Kuntze (Plumbaginaceae) acetone/methanol (2:1), and methanol extracts of root, stem, and leaf. Different parts of this species were used in order to compare the mutagenic and cytotoxic effects of these parts. Ames test was carried out with S. typhimurium TA98, and TA100 strains. Strains were incubated at 37 °C for 72 h. MDBK cell line was used in MTT test. 10,000, 1000, 100, 10, 1 and 0.1 µg/plate concentrations of plant extracts were used in Ames test. 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 and 3.125 µg/ml concentrations of root, stem and leaf acetone/methanol (2:1) and methanol extracts were used in MTT test. Ames test results indicated that only methanol leaf extract (10,000 µg/plate) had mutagenic activity. L. globuliferum root methanol extracts (3.125 and 6.25 µg/ml) increased the proliferation rates. Root acetone/methanol (2:1) extracts were found highly cytotoxic in all treatments. The results indicated that leaf extracts had lower cytotoxic effects than root and stem extracts. High concentrations of L. globuliferum stem and leaf methanol extracts showed cytotoxic activity in all treatment periods while low concentrations of the stem methanol extracts increased the proliferation rates.
单独使用植物提取物或与药物联合使用而不进行监测,可能会导致严重的健康问题和毒性作用。补血草属(蓝雪科)植物以具有抗菌、抗癌和抗病毒作用而闻名。但该属植物也可能具有毒性作用。本研究评估了补血草(蓝雪科)丙酮/甲醇(2:1)提取物以及根、茎和叶的甲醇提取物的诱变和细胞毒性作用。使用该物种的不同部位以比较这些部位的诱变和细胞毒性作用。采用鼠伤寒沙门氏菌TA98和TA100菌株进行艾姆斯试验。菌株在37℃下孵育72小时。MTT试验使用MDBK细胞系。在艾姆斯试验中使用浓度为10000、1000、100、10、1和0.1μg/平板的植物提取物。在MTT试验中使用浓度为50、25、12.5、6.25和3.125μg/ml的根、茎和叶的丙酮/甲醇(2:1)提取物以及甲醇提取物。艾姆斯试验结果表明,仅甲醇叶提取物(10000μg/平板)具有诱变活性。补血草根甲醇提取物(3.125和6.25μg/ml)提高了增殖率。发现在所有处理中,根丙酮/甲醇(2:1)提取物具有高度细胞毒性。结果表明,叶提取物的细胞毒性作用低于根和茎提取物。高浓度的补血草茎和叶甲醇提取物在所有处理阶段均表现出细胞毒性活性,而低浓度的茎甲醇提取物提高了增殖率。
