Abstract

Objective:  Management  of  cancer  without  any  side  effects  is  still  a  challenge  for  the medicinal  system.  This  leads  to  an  increasing  search  for  improved  anticancer  drugs. Few  of  plant  products  have  been  used  in  traditional  medicine  for  thousands  of  years and  have  been  drawing  of  great  deal  of  attention  to  suppress  cancer. The  main  objective  of  this  study  is to  evaluate  the  antiproliferative  effect  of  Pergularia  daemia  (Forsk)  against  KB  cells.

Methods:  Different  concentrations  of  areal  part  of  Pergularia  daemia  methanolic extract  (10,20,40,80,160,320 µg/ml)  were  subjected  to  cytotoxic  study.  The antiproliferative  effect  of  PDME  was  determined  by  MTT  assay,  analysis  of  ROS generation,  mitochondrial  membrane  potential,  cell  cycle  arrest  and  antioxidant  status.

Result:  Increased  level  of  intracellular  ROS,  lipid  peroxidation  marker  (TBARS),  DNA damage  (comet  assay),  apoptotic  death  and  cell  cycle  arrest  in  PDME  treated  cells. Whereas  decreased  activity  of  antioxidants  and  altered  mitochondrial  membrane potential  were  observed  in  PDME  treated  cells.

Conclusion: The  current  investigation  suggested  that  the  phyto constituents  of Pergularia  daemia  responsible  for  anticancer  activity.  Thus  the  long  term  consumption of  Pergularia  daemia  could  be  considered  and  promoted  as  a  adjuvant  therapy  for various  malignancy.
