Antioxidant and antiproliferative activity of six medicinal plants from northwestern Mexico

Reactive oxygen species, which induce oxidative stress in the body, are one of the risk factors for some cancer types. In Mexico, the types of cancer with the highest mortality are prostate, breast, cervical, lung, and liver. Natural products represent the oldest form of medicinal remedies; for canc...

In Mexico, the types of cancer with the highest mortality are prostate, breast, cervical, lung, and liver. Natural products represent the oldest form of medicinal remedies; for cancer, this source is no exception. In this investigation, we studied the antiproliferative activities, by MTT, and the antioxidant activity, by ABTS and DPPH, in six northwestern Mexico medicinal plants. The Jacquinia macrocarpa ssp. pungens fruit shells showed the best antiproliferative activity with an IC50 of 9.2 μg/mL in A549, followed by Bursera microphylla with IC50 13.8 μg/mL in HeLa. Bursera laxiflora showed the best antioxidant activity of the six plants against ABTS and DPPH radicals, and also presented antiproliferative activity in HeLa. The bark of B. laxiflora contains compounds with antioxidant activities, which are probably also the same that induce antiproliferative activity in cancer cell lines. On the other hand, J. macrocarpa showed no antioxidant activity. However, the three species of plants represent a potential source of molecules with antiproliferative activity. Las especies reactivas de oxígeno, que inducen estrés oxidativo en el organismo, son uno de los factores de riesgo para padecer de algún tipo de cáncer. En México los tipos de cáncer con mayor mortalidad son el de próstata, mama, cervicouterino, pulmón e hígado. Los productos naturales representan la forma más antigua de remedios medicinales, para el cáncer esta fuente no es una excepción. En esta investigación, se estudió la actividad antioxidante por ABTS y DPPH, y la actividad antiproliferativa de seis plantas medicinales del noroeste de México. Las cáscaras del fruto de Jacquinia macrocarpa ssp pungens mostraron la mejor actividad antiproliferativa del estudio con una IC50 de 9.2 mg/mL en A549, seguido por B microphylla con IC50 de 13.8 mg/mL en HeLa. Bursera laxiflora obtuvo la mejor actividad antioxidante de las seis plantas frente a los radicales ABTS y DPPH, así como también presentó actividad antiproliferativa en HeLa. La corteza de B. laxiflora contiene compuestos con actividad antioxidante, que probablemente, también sean los mismos que inducen la actividad antiproliferativa en células cancerosas. Por otro lado, J.  macrocarpa y B. microphylla no presentan actividad antioxidante, sin embargo, las tres especies vegetales representan una fuente potencial de moléculas con actividad antiproliferativa.
