Abstract

Shirazolide is an elemanolide isolated from Jurinea leptoloba DC. The aim of this study was to determine the cytotoxic, mutagenic and anti-mutagenic properties of shirazolide from J. leptoloba DC in vitro. Cytotoxicity was measured using a modified MTT (3-(4,5-di methyl thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-di phenyltetrazolium bromide) assay on normal human lymphocytes and tumor HeLa cells, showing that the cytotoxicity of shirazolide is much higher for HeLa cells than for normal lymphocytes. Mutagenic and anti-mutagenic activities of shirazolide were evaluated using the Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA98 and TA100 showing anti-mutagenic properties against the former strain under metabolic activation.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
