L. is widely used as a traditional medicine for the management of inflammation and cancer. In the present study, phyto-chemical analysis of was carried out and its cytotoxic potential against human melanoma (MDA-MB-435) and ovarian cancer cells (OVCAR3) was evaluated. Phyto-chemical profile of methanolic extract and its fractions was established employing UHPLC-MS/MS and Global Natural Product Social molecular networking. Cytotoxic activity was evaluated using absorbance assay (CellTiter-Blue® Cell Viability Assay). Overall, 22 compounds were identified in the crude extract and polarity-based fractions of Flavonoids, flavonoid-O-glycosides and phenolic acids were found to be the major classes of phyto-chemicals In addition, the crude extract of and its fractions were found active against the tested cell lines. The highest anti-cancer activity against OVCAR3 cells was exhibited by the -hexane fraction. These results indicated that is rich in flavonoids and might be used for the development of anti-cancer drugs against melanoma and ovarian cancers.
L. 作为一种传统药物被广泛用于炎症和癌症的治疗。在本研究中,对L. 进行了植物化学分析,并评估了其对人黑色素瘤(MDA-MB-435)和卵巢癌细胞(OVCAR3)的细胞毒性潜力。采用超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法(UHPLC-MS/MS)和全球天然产物社会分子网络技术确定了L. 甲醇提取物及其馏分的植物化学特征。使用吸光度测定法(CellTiter-Blue®细胞活力测定法)评估细胞毒性活性。总体而言,在粗提取物和基于极性的馏分中鉴定出22种化合物。黄酮类化合物、黄酮-O-糖苷和酚酸被发现是主要的植物化学类别。此外,L. 的粗提取物及其馏分对测试的细胞系具有活性。-己烷馏分对OVCAR3细胞表现出最高的抗癌活性。这些结果表明,L. 富含黄酮类化合物,可能用于开发抗黑色素瘤和卵巢癌的抗癌药物。
