We unravel the cytotoxic effect of Imperata cylindrica root ethanol extract on the expression of PKCα, STAT3 and mTOR in A549 lung cancer cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The cytotoxic effect tests were carried out on the A549 lung cancer cell line after 48 hours post-treatment using 3- [4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl] -2.5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay method to discover the IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; dose, continued with apoptosis tests at doses of 150, 300, and 600 μg/mL of &lt;em&gt;I.cylindrica&lt;/em&gt; root ethanol extract using flowcytometry, as well as measurements of PKCα, STAT3, and mTOR mRNA expressions with the RT-qPCR method and measurements of PKCα, STAT3, and mTOR protein expressions with Western blot method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;This study showed that the ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;I. cylindrica&lt;/em&gt; roots had an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 541 μg/mL (weak cytotoxic) and the IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;of erlotinib was at 29 μM (moderate cytotoxic). In apoptotic test, the highest average apoptotic results were found in erlotinib group, while ethanol extract doses of 150, 300, and 600 μg/mL gave apoptotic effects on cancer cells higher than negative control group. From RT-qPCR, found that &lt;em&gt;I.cylindrica&lt;/em&gt; significantly inhibit the expression of PKCα, STAT&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;, and mTOR mRNA and from band scanning using Western Blot showed PKCα, STAT3, and mTOR protein expressions in Imperata root ethanol extract, qualitatively produced thinner bands when compared to the negative control group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study demonstrated&lt;em&gt; I.cylindrica&lt;/em&gt; root ethanol extract ability inhibiting the expression of PKCα, STAT3 and mTOR genes and proteins in the A549 lung cancer cell line, which can be taken into consideration as a complementary therapy in treatment of lung cancer.&lt;/p&gt;

Therefore, this study evaluated the combined anticancer effects of Imperata cylindrica ethanol root extract and erlotinib on the A549 lung cancer cell line. &lt;strong&gt;Method:&lt;/strong&gt; The A-549 lung cancer cell line was treated with various combinations of 1/2 IC50, 3/8 IC50, 1/4 IC50, and 1/8 IC50 of I.cylindrica root ethanol extract and erlotinib for 48 hours. Cell viability was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, analyzed and interpreted using CompuSyn software and a normalized isobologram curve. &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; Of the sixteen combinations, eleven combinations acted synergistically, four were additive, and one was in the antagonist zone. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The combination of I. cylindrica root ethanol extract and erlotinib act synergistically to decrease A549 lung cancer cell viability, therefore they are potential lung cancer therapeutics.&lt;/p&gt;

For example, Sinensetin, a plant-derived polymethoxylated flavonoid, and Imperatorin, a natural furanocoumarin, have anti-cancer properties. This study assessed the effects of sinensetin and imperatorin separately and in combination on A-549 lung cancer cell viability. &lt;strong&gt;Method: &lt;/strong&gt;The A-549 lung cancer cell line was treated with sinensetin (60 μM), imperatorin (30 M), or a combination of both compounds (Sin:Imp 30:30 μM; 50:50 μM and 60:30 μM) for 48 hours. Cell viability was then assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and apoptosis was determined using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) Annexin-V/Propidium iodide staining. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The combination treatment of Sin:Imp 50:50 and Sin:Imp 60:30 μM reduced cell viability more than the individual treatment of sinensetin and imperatorin, with the lowest cell viability observed for the combination treatment of Sin:Imp 50:50 μM. Likewise, the combination treatment of Sin:Imp 50:50 μM induced the most apoptosis compared to individual treatment. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Sinensetin and imperatorin can decrease A-549 lung cancer cell viability and are potent apoptotic inducers, especially when they are used in combination, therefore they are potential lung cancer therapeutics.&lt;/p&gt;

The major compounds that have been isolated and identified are polyphenols and flavonoids, which have many biological activities such as antioxidant, and anticancer. Polyphenols and flavonoids are mostly found in the roots and leaves. This study aimed to perform phytochemical screening on &lt;em&gt;I. cylindrica&lt;/em&gt; root ethanol extract from Sragen, Central Java, Indonesia and determine the total polyphenol, flavonoid, antioxidant activity and quantify Sinensetin and Imperatorin contents of the extract.&lt;strong&gt; Method:&lt;/strong&gt; Quantification of all parameters were measured using visible spectrophotometric methods. Total polyphenol, total flavonoid contents, as well as antioxidant activity were measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, aluminum chloride reagent, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, respectively, and quantification of Sinensetin and Imperatorin were measured using High Performance Liquid Chromatography. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; I cylindrica&lt;/em&gt; root ethanol extract had a total polyphenol content of 1.109% gallic acid equivalent, total flavonoid content of 0.1% quercetin equivalent, and antioxidant activity IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 824.30 μg/ml. Sinensetin and Imperatorin were also identified in Fractions 1 to 11 with concentrations of 0.0157 and 0.0178 mg/kg extract, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;I. cylindrica &lt;/em&gt;root ethanol extract from Sragen had active phytochemical compounds of polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants as well as Sinensetin and Imperatorin.&lt;/p&gt;
