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;

Studies conducted on plant-based leads have yielded promising therapeutic activities, prompting researchers to remain vigilant in exploring further plant-based studies. Research has shown that phytochemicals found in the roots, leaves, and flowers of Jasminum sambac &lt;em&gt;(J.sambac&lt;/em&gt;) have demonstrated various active functions, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and anxiolytic effects. The progress made in nanoparticle drug delivery systems for cancer treatment is noteworthy as it allows for higher doses of medication to be delivered directly to cancer cells while minimising the negative impact on healthy cells. Various reports showcase the nanoparticle synthesis of &lt;em&gt;J.sambac&lt;/em&gt; for screening multiple diseases. This review provides an overview of cancer and the challenges of available treatments while exploring the potential of &lt;em&gt;J.sambac&lt;/em&gt; for its anticancer, cytotoxic, and antioxidant properties. Furthermore, it sheds light on the recent advances made in nanoparticle formulations of Jasminum sambac for cancer and other ailments. Disseminating these updates could encourage additional exploration into the potential anti-cancer properties of&lt;em&gt; J.sambac &lt;/em&gt;and foster the development of nanoparticles for more effective cancer treatment.&lt;/p&gt;

This research begins with the rationale of exploring medicinal plants, especially coffee, to obtain compounds that can target cancer cells with fewer side effects. &lt;strong&gt;Objectivity: &lt;/strong&gt;This research aims to extract and evaluate the secondary metabolites from robusta coffee cascara, such as friedelin, lupeol, stigmasterol, ursolic acid, caffeine, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and catechin, for their cytotoxic activity against Hela and MCF-7 cells. The aim of this research is also to identify and understand the cytotoxic mechanisms of compounds like stigmasterol, which showed significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells, paving the way for developing targeted cancer therapies from natural sources. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Robusta coffee cascara then goes to the process of extraction using ethanol, fractionation, isolation, purification, and characterization, followed by bioactivity evaluation using in vitro method through breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and cervical cancer cell line HeLa and determination of active compound levels. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The cascara, a byproduct of coffee cultivation, is rich in proteins, polysaccharides, and bioactive compounds. Through extraction and purification processes, eight compounds were isolated and characterized, including &lt;strong&gt;(1)&lt;/strong&gt; friedelin, &lt;strong&gt;(2)&lt;/strong&gt; lupeol,&lt;strong&gt; (3)&lt;/strong&gt; Stigmasterol, &lt;strong&gt;(4)&lt;/strong&gt; Ursolic acid, &lt;strong&gt;(5)&lt;/strong&gt; caffeine, &lt;strong&gt;(6)&lt;/strong&gt; Chlorogenic acid, &lt;strong&gt;(7)&lt;/strong&gt; caffeic acid, and &lt;strong&gt;(8)&lt;/strong&gt; catechin. Bioactivity evaluation shows that stigmasterol (3) is the most cytotoxic compound with a value against Hela cells with an IC50 value of 25.85 μg/mL in the toxic category and against MCF-7 cells with an IC50 value of 12.83 μg/mL in the very toxic category. The results of determining the levels of active compounds in robusta coffee cascara extract showed that friedelin &lt;strong&gt;(1)&lt;/strong&gt; 0.539±0.137%; lupeol &lt;strong&gt;(2)&lt;/strong&gt; levels were 0.087±0.015%; &lt;strong&gt;(3)&lt;/strong&gt; stigmasterol 0.126±0.046%; ursolic acid &lt;strong&gt;(4)&lt;/strong&gt; 0.627±0.002%; caffeine &lt;strong&gt;(5) &lt;/strong&gt;3,203±0.069%; chlorogenic acid &lt;strong&gt;(6)&lt;/strong&gt; 0.679±0.003%; caffeic acid &lt;strong&gt;(7) &lt;/strong&gt;0.153±0.003% and catechin &lt;strong&gt;(8)&lt;/strong&gt; 0.3590.012% mg/g extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The research on robusta coffee cascara extract as a potential source of anticancer compounds.&lt;/p&gt;

One of them is&lt;em&gt; Gnetum gnemon&lt;/em&gt; L (melinjo). This study aims determined&lt;em&gt; in vitro &lt;/em&gt;antioxidant activity and the cytotoxic effects of polar, semipolar and non polar melinjo seed fractions againts HeLa cell line. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The melinjo seed were extracted with ethanol as a solvent. Then, the fractionation was done using liquidliquid extraction method with three different polarity solvent. Cytotoxic activity was carried out using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay in HeLa cell lines at concentrations ranging from 25 to 400 μg/mL. Antioxidant activity was determined by the diphenyl picryl hidrazil (DPPH) radical scavenging method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Phytochemical screening indicated the presence of phyto-constituents like flavonoids, terpenoid and tanin. The DPPH scavenging activity by the melinjo seed aqueous, ethyl acetate and N-hexane fraction was 733,12 ± 18,95 μg/mL; 68,40 ± 1,9 μg/mL and 2035,70 ± 65,59 μg/mL, respectively. The cytotoxic activity of the melinjo seed fractions showed that the ethyl acetate was the most active fraction against HeLa cell line with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value 45,27 μg/mL.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study, we have observed that the melinjo seed fractions exhibited antioxidant and cytotoxic activity against HeLa cell lines. This is presumably due to the content of phytochemicals and stilbenoids such as resveratrol and gnetin C. Melinjo seeds are more potent as anticancer Compared with other plants that also contain RSV such as grape extract (&lt;em&gt;Vitis vinifera&lt;/em&gt; L.) against lung cancer cells (A549). From the three fractions, the ethyl acetate fraction had the highest antioxidant and cytotoxic effect compared to the water and n-hexane fractions. &lt;em&gt;Gnetum gnemon&lt;/em&gt; L. can be considered as a potential source of anticancer agents. However, more research is needed to determine the mechanism of action.&lt;/p&gt;

In this work, we extended our research to screen the antitumor activity of RS ethanol extract as a single treatment and in the presence of combined radiotherapy with a low dose of gamma radiation against murine Ehrlich solid carcinoma (EAC) model. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To evaluate the most common waste in Egypt RS to screen out its &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; cytotoxic activity and as combined therapy with radiotherapy.&lt;strong&gt; Method:&lt;/strong&gt; Tested sample RS was investigated for its content of phenolics by LC/MS/MS, in addition, ethanolic extracts of the tested sample were investigated as antitumor on female mice inoculated with EAC cells as a single treatment and in the presence of combined radiotherapy with a low dose of gamma radiation (LDR). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; LC/MS/MS revealed that rice straw was rich in phenolic acids (vanillic, p-coumaric, ferulic, and sinapic acid) along with catechin and flavonoids aglycones (quercetin, apigenin, and kaempferol). Rice straw and/or exposure to a low dose of γ-radiation caused a marked suppression of tumor growth and induced significant reduction in VEGF level &amp;amp; in IL-6 level with significant elevation in IL-10 serum level. Rice straw caused a significant down regulation in the gene transcription level of MCL1 and b-catenin, and a significant up-regulation of Caspase-3 and Bax gene expression. RS extract and LDR (EC + RS + R group) revealed that there was a mild form of necrosis with severe apoptosis in the tumor cells. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; From the aforementioned results, it can be concluded that RS/LDR effectively and synergistically work towards inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. These findings were well supported with histopathological studies suggesting that RS/low dose gamma radiation can serve as a good therapeutic agent against cancer but still need further clinical studies.&lt;/p&gt;

The highest docking score was produced by Lyngbyastatin (&lt;em&gt;Lyngbya majuscula&lt;/em&gt;). In the present study anticancer potential of &lt;em&gt;L. majuscula&lt;/em&gt; was evaluated on human lung cancer cell line (A549) using its methanolic extract. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Molecular docking was carried out between the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor tyrosine kinase and cyanobacterial compounds. Based on the docking results, Lyngbyastatin was found to be the most effective compound. As this compound is present in the &lt;em&gt;L. majuscula,&lt;/em&gt; the cytotoxicity of this organism was assessed by standard cell viability assays like MTT method. Algal methanolic extract treated with A 549 cell line morphology was studied by DAPI staining. DNA fragmentation assay was also conducted to study the presence of DNA laddering. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Totally 75 bioactive compounds were docked with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor tyrosine kinase . Of them, 12 compounds were selected based on the docking score. Among the 12 bioactive compounds, Lyngbyastatin found to be most effective compound. &lt;em&gt;L. majuscula&lt;/em&gt; showed potential anticancer activity against A549 cell line with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 14.82&amp;plusmn; 0.62 &amp;mu;g/ml in MTT method. Most of the treated cells lost their characteristic stretched appearance with shrinkage of nucleus. DNA profile revealed the presence of sheared DNA in treated ones but no fragmentation was observed. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results indicated potent anticancer of algal methanolic extract on A549 cell line, which may be good candidates for further investigation to isolate bioactive anticancer compounds.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">421</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sangeetha Muniaraj&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Vijayakumar Subramanian&lt;sup&gt;2*&lt;/sup&gt;, Prabhu Srinivasan&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Manogar Palani&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The immunomodulatory potential of&lt;em&gt; D.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;stramonium&lt;/em&gt; active fraction was assessed by i) MTT microcytotoxicity assay using A549 (lung carcinomas) and MCF-7 (breast cancer) cell lines and ii) analyzing the production of IL-2 and IFN-&amp;gamma; by human PBMC in the presence of active fraction. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Chromatographic fractionation guided by PBMC proliferation assay of &lt;em&gt;D. stramonium&lt;/em&gt; extract resulted in bioactive fraction (fraction-10) exhibiting significant immunostimulatory activity [EC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;=19.1&amp;plusmn;1.5 (&amp;mu;g/ml)] on human blood lymphocytes. Fraction-10 pretreated PBMC displayed enhanced cytotoxicity towards A549 and MCF-7 (59%&amp;plusmn;2.1% and 62%&amp;plusmn;2.3% at 1:20 effector:target ratio respectively). Moreover, fraction-10 also enhanced the secretion of IL-2 (8 fold) and IFN-&amp;gamma; (10 fold) by human PBMC. The preliminary phytochemical analysis of fraction-10 from&lt;em&gt; D. stramonium&lt;/em&gt; showed the presence of terpenoids and steroids. LC-MS analysis depicted presence of four major phytoconstituents in fraction-10 as daturaolone, daturadiol, stigmasterol and sitosterol with corresponding mass spectrum (m/z) of 440, 442, 412 and 414 respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The present report concluded that active fraction-10 of&lt;em&gt; D. stramonium&lt;/em&gt; possesses potential immunostimulators that are capable of enhancing anticancer responses of human blood lymphocytes.&lt;/p&gt;

Moreover, the extracts were analyzed by HPLC to comprise the rate of some phenolic compounds.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The purple basil extracts have more powerful antioxidant activity than the essential oils. MCF-7 revealed to have a meaningful cell death when compared with controls, and the oils were found to be more effective than the extracts. Also the phytochemical analysis of the extracts has led to the identification of 3 phenolic compounds (Rosmarinic acid, p-Coumaric acid and Ferulic acid). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Our study tends to validate the traditional use of this medicinal herb as complementary and alternative medicine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Words:&lt;/strong&gt; purple basil, antioxidant, MCF-7, HPLC.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shazia Usmani&lt;sup&gt;*1&lt;/sup&gt;, Arshad Hussain&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, A.

Cytotoxic potential of methanolic extract and its fractions were investigated against Hela and A&lt;sub&gt;549&lt;/sub&gt; cell lines. Crude extract of Digera muricata was prepared in methanol by Continuous Hot Soxhlation technique. Crude extract was fractionated into two organic and one aqueous fraction by the help of Column Chromatography. MTT assay was used to evaluate the reduction of viability of the cancer cell lines. Cell viability was inhibited by crude extract of &lt;em&gt;Digera muricata&lt;/em&gt; in a dose dependent manner ranging from 25&amp;mu;g/ml to 250&amp;mu;g/ml. Apoptosis assays using nucleic acid stains namely PI exclusion assay and Hoestch/PI assay were performed by the help of fluorescence microscopy. Morphological analysis was done by calculation of Apoptotic ratio and Percentage apoptosis. Our results suggests that methanolic and aqueous fraction of the extract of &lt;em&gt;Digera muricata&lt;/em&gt; can be good source of cytotoxic compounds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,4 diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, A&lt;sub&gt;549&lt;/sub&gt; cell line, cytotoxic,
