image of Bioactive Secondary Metabolites from Bauhinia variegata Linn. Roots: Isolation, Characterization, and Cytotoxic Evaluation

Abstract

Introduction

=This study aims to isolate and characterize potential cytotoxic compounds from the roots of Linn. (Caesalpiniaceae) and evaluate their activity against human cancer cell lines. Five compounds, namely -sitosterol (), piperine (), piperolein B (), retrofractamide A (), and dehydropipernonaline (), were isolated from roots using various chromatographic procedures.

Methods

=The root extracts were prepared using aqueous and organic solvents, including -hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. The isolated compounds were subjected to a sulforhodamine B cytotoxicity assay against DU-145 and PC-3 (prostate), HT-29 (colon), and MCF-7 (breast) human cancer cell lines. Among the isolates, compound exhibited significant bioactivity against all tested cell lines. Compound demonstrated activity, specifically against MCF-7 cancer cell lines.

Results

=Importantly, these compounds were identified for the first time from roots. In conclusion, this study highlights the enhanced spectrum of cytotoxic activity exhibited by the isolated compounds. These findings encourage further investigation to elucidate the mechanism of action of these compounds against the respective cell lines.

Conclusion

=The identification and characterization of these bioactive compounds contribute to the understanding of the potential therapeutic applications of in cancer treatment.
