Orientin Induces G0/G1 Cell Cycle Arrest and Mitochondria Mediated Intrinsic Apoptosis in Human Colorectal Carcinoma HT29 Cells.
    Biomolecules, 2019, 08-27, Volume: 9, Issue:9

    Colorectal carcinoma is one of the utmost diagnosed cancer with a steep increase in mortality rate. The incidence has been increasing in developing countries like India due to a westernization life style. Flavonoids have been explored widely for its various pharmacological activity including antitumor activity. Orientin, an analogue of luteolin (citrus flavonoid) isolated from rooibos and tulsi leaves is also expected to deliver significant antitumor activity similar to that of luteolin. The present study anticipates exploring the antitumor activity of orientin against colorectal carcinoma cells (HT29). Orientin exhibited remarkable cytotoxicity and antiproliferative activity against HT29 cells, which is clearly evident from tetrazolium based cytotoxicity and lactate dehydrogenase release assays. Orientin induce G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and regulates cyclin and cyclin-dependent protein kinases in order to prevent the entry of the cell cycle to the S phase. Annexin V-FITC (V-Fluorescein Isothiocyanate) dual staining reveals the apoptotic induction ability of orientin. The Bcl-2 family proteins along with the inhibitor of apoptotic proteins were regulated and the tumor suppressor p-53 expression have been decreased. In conclusion, our results proposed that orientin could be a potent chemotherapeutic agent against colorectal cancer after ascertaining their molecular mechanisms.

Orientin, a C-glycosyl dietary flavone, suppresses colonic cell proliferation and mitigates NF-κB mediated inflammatory response in 1,2-dimethylhydrazine induced colorectal carcinogenesis.
    Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie, 2017, Volume: 96

    Orientin, a C-glycosyl dietary flavone profusely found in rooibos tea and passion fruit have gained much attention owing to their multiple pharmacological potentials. The present study intends to investigate the anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory efficacy of Orientin in 1,2-dimethyl hydrazine (DMH) induced colorectal cancer (CRC) in rats. Animals were arbitrarily segmented into six groups and fed with high-fat diet. Group 1 served as control. Group 2 received weekly subcutaneous injections of DMH (20 mg/kg b.w.), for first 15 weeks. Group 3 administered with Orientin (10 mg/kg b.w., i.p.) whereas Groups 4-6 treated with Orientin in three phases, namely initiation (along with DMH), post-initiation (post-DMH injection) and entire period. Orientin ameliorates tumor marker levels significantly (p < 0.05) and reinstates the histological changes induced by DMH. The proliferative markers (PCNA and Ki67) were observed to be suppressed significantly (p < 0.05) in Orientin treated rats. Orientin abrogates (p < 0.05) the inflammatory mast cells and diminishes the expression of pro-inflammatory NF-κB and cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6). It also down-regulates over expression of inflammatory inducible enzymes (iNOS and COX-2) significantly (p < 0.05) and further substantiated by GLIDE XP and QPLD studies. Overall results promptly elucidate the anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory efficacy of Orientin against CRC. Orientin can be developed as a promising chemotherapeutic agent, on further validation of other molecular mechanisms.

Cajanus cajan- a source of PPARγ activators leading to anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic effects.
    Food & function, 2016, Sep-14, Volume: 7, Issue:9

    Cajanus cajan is an important legume crop in the human diet in many parts of the world. Due to its pharmacological properties, C. cajan is, moreover, used in traditional medicine for treating skin diseases, diabetes, inflammatory disorders and various other dysfunctions. In this study, we focused on the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) as a potential therapeutic target of Cajanus cajan and its main compounds for the treatment of cancer, inflammation and inflammation-related disorders. The anti-inflammatory potential of C. cajan and its bioactive compounds and their cytotoxicity on the human cervical adenocarcinoma cell line HeLa, the human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line CaCo-2 and the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7 were elucidated. C. cajan and its compounds exerted significant anti-inflammatory activity on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages, showed good cytotoxic effects on the 3 different cancer cell lines and proved PPARγ activity in vitro. The main active compounds were orientin, pinostrobin and vitexin. Cajaninstilbene acid and pinosylvin monomethylether were identified as novel PPARγ activators. Based on these data, C. cajan provides excellent beneficial medicinal attributes and may be used as a potential food or a pharmaceutical supplement.
