human lung cancer cell growth

Lumichrome is an endogenous compound in humans, produced by photodegradation of riboflavin. It utilizes a p53-dependent mechanism to inhibit growth and induce apoptosis in human lung cancer cells.

Ajoene is a disulfide that has been found inA. sativumand has diverse biological activities, including antibacterial, anticancer, antiplatelet, and antioxidant properties.1,2,3,4It is active against Gram-positive (MICs = 5-160 µg/ml) and Gram-negative bacteria (MICs = 136-200 µg/ml), as well as yeasts (MICs = 10-20 µg/ml).1Ajoene is cytotoxic to mouse melanoma cells (IC50= 18 µM), as well as human colon, lung, mammary, and pancreatic cancer cells (IC50s = 7-41 µM).2It reduces tumor growth in a B16/BL6 mouse model of melanoma when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg every other day and decreases the number of lung metastases when administered prior to tumor cell inoculation at doses ranging from 1-25 mg/kg. It inhibits ADP- or collagen-induced platelet aggregation in isolated baboon platelets when used at concentrations ranging from 75 to 150 µg/ml and in platelet-rich plasma isolated from baboons when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg.3Ajoene (25 mg/kg) prevents thrombus formation on damaged arterial walls in heparinized pigs in anin situmodel of thrombogenesis.5It also reduces high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis, histopathological markers of liver damage, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) formation, and protein oxidation in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).4 1.Naganawa, R., Iwata, N., Ishikawa, K., et al.Inhibition of microbial growth by ajoene, a sulfur-containing compound derived from garlicAppl.

Mollicellin I (compound 1), a depsidone, exhibits minimal growth inhibitory activity against human breast cancer (Bre04), human lung (Lu04), and human neuroma (N04) cell lines, with GI50 values exceeding 10 μg mL [1].

Mollicellin H, a secondary metabolite from the fungus C. brasiliense, exhibits an array of biological activities such as immunomodulation, cytotoxicity, and anti-tumor properties. It demonstrates growth inhibitory effects (GI 50 s) on various human cell lines, including breast cancer (Bre04) at 5.1 μg mL, lung (Lu04) at 6.5 μg mL, and neuroma (N04) at 2.5 μg mL [1].

1,4,5,6-Tetrahydroxy-7-prenylxanthone exhibits anti-cancer activity, demonstrating moderate cytotoxicities against breast cancer (MDA-MB-435S) and lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cell lines, and shows moderate activity with GI50 values of 2.8 μM against the human leukaemic HL-60 cell line measured in vitro.

2β,3β,23α-Trihydroxy-12-oleanen-28-oic acid shows cytotoxic activities to human lung adenocarcinoma(A-549)cell lines. 2α,3β,23-Trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid and 2α,3β,23-trihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid exhibit cytotoxicity in vitro against the growth of human cancer cells lines HepG-2,with IC50 values of 16.13 ± 3.83, 15.97 ± 2.47 uM, respectively.

Griffipavixanthone inhibits the growth of human Non-small-cell lung cancer H520 cells in dose- and time-dependent manners, it induces cell apoptosis through mitochondrial apoptotic pathway accompanying with ROS production. It can inhibit tumor metastasis

Dexylosyltubeimoside III (compound 3) is a cyclic diglycoside isolated from Actinostemma lobatum MAXIM. It exhibits in vitro anticancer activity, inhibiting the growth of human esophageal cancer cell line ECA109 (IC50=22.37 μM), lung cancer cell line A549 (IC50=27.27 μM), and gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 (IC50=36.85 μM).
