- the present invention particularly relates to an hert ⁇ al formulation comprising mixture of lignans isolated from the plant Cedrus Deodara.
- Cancer or neoplasm is the malignant new growth anywhere and elsewhere in the body system. It is characterized by unregulated proliferation of cells and a growing public health problem whose estimated worldwide new incidence is about six million cases per year. In most of the countries, cancer is second only to heart disease as cause of death. It can arise in any organ of the body but some sites are prone to attack than others such as breast, throat, intestine, leukocytes etc. Each cancer is propagated from a single cell that cut at some stage, it becomes free from its territorial restraints, which form a family of cells that multiply without limits and appear in the form of tumors.
- cancer cells have a) low pH b) greater free radical character c) tumor produced hormone peptides d) tumor associated antigens e) lower calcium ion and higher potassium ion concentration f) different potassium isotope ratios g) elevated amounts of methylated nucleotides h) higher concentrations of plasma microproteins and mucopolysacharides i) greater need of exogenous zinc and j) high biowater content.

- the yield of Matairesinol is around 1-2%; the yield of (-)-wikstromol is around 10-14% The yield of Dibenzylbutyrolactol is around 1-2%.
- the human cancer cell lines were obtained either from National center for cell science, Pune, India or National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD, U. S. A. Cells were grown in tissue culture flasks in complete growth medium (RPMI-164Q medium with 2mM glutamine, 100 ⁇ g/ml streptomycin, pH 7.4, sterilized by filtration and supplemented with 10% sterilized fetal calf serum and 100 units/ml penicillin before use) at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 90% relative humidity in a carbon dioxide incubator (WTB binder, Germany).

- the suspension of human cancer cell lines of required cell density in complete growth medium was prepared and cell suspension (lOO ⁇ l per wall) of each cell line) of 96-welI tissue culture plate. Three additional wells of each cell line were also prepared for control. Two blank wells for control and each experimental and each experimental set for every cell line were also included that contained equivalent amount of complete growth medium only.
- the plates were incubated at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO 2 and 90% relative humidity in a carbon dioxide incubator.
- the working test solutions of (-)-Matairesinol of different concentrations (100 ⁇ l) were added after 24-hours incubation in all the wells including blanks of the experimental set. The equivalent amount of complete growth medium was added to control set.
- the plates were further incubated for 48-hours (at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO 2 and 90% relative humidity in a carbon dioxide incubator) after addition of test material etc. and then the ceil growth was stopped by gently layering of 50 ⁇ l of TCA (50% trichloroacetic acid) on top of the medium in all the wells.
- TCA 50% trichloroacetic acid
- the plates were incubated at 4°C for one hour to fix the cells attached to the bottom of the wells. Liquids of all the wells were gently pipetted out and discarded.
- the plates were washed five times with distilled water to remove TCA, growth medium, low molecular weight metabolites, serum proteins etc. Plates were air-dried.
- SRB sulforhodamine B dye
- test material The cell growth in presence of test material was determined by subtracting mean OD value of respective blank from the mean OD value of experimental set. Like wise, cell growth in absence of test material (control set) and in presence of positive control was also determined. The per cent cell growth in presence of test material was determined considering the cell growth in absence of test material as 100% and in turn per cent inhibition was calculated.
- Example-3 In vitro cytotoxicity of (-)-wikstromol against human cancer cell lines: The human cancer cell lines grown and harvested and cytotoxicity was determined exactly as per example 1 except that the test material used was (-)-wikstromol which was dissolved in DMSO and three working test solutions were prepared of the same concentrations as in example 1.
- In vitro cytotoxicity of (-)-wikstromol was determined against human breast (MCF-7 & ZR-75-1), neuroblastoma (SK-N-MC & IMR-32), cervix (SiHa), colon (Colo-205, HT-29 & SW-620), liver (HEP-2) and lung (A-549) cancer cell lines. The results are summarized in Table- 1.
- (-)-wikstromol showed dose dependent inhibition of cell growth of the human cancer cell lines studied. The inhibition varied from 32-67% at 100 ug/ml. It was most effective against human colon cancer cell line Colo-205 and least effective against colon cell line HT-29.
- Example-4 A process for the isolation of novel chemical composition containing lignan mixture from Cedrus Deodara.
- the dried wood powder of Cedus deodara was loaded (200 g.) in a soxhlet apparatus.
- the powder was first extracted with hexane and followed by chloroform.
- the chloroform extract concentrated under vacuum.
- the thick syrupy residue was dissolved in ethylacetate (for about 50g. of residue around 60 ml. of ethyl acetate).
- the solution of residue in ethyl acetate was added drop wise to hexane (around 5L.).
- the solid separated was filtered off. Yield of lignan mixture is around 20g.
- the composition of lignan mixture was assayed by HPLC for three batches and the results are summarized in Table-2. Column used for HPLC is ODS, 1 .5ml flow rate at 225nm wavelength.
- Example-5 In vitro cytotoxicity of lignan mixtures isolated from Cedrus deodara against human cancer cell lines:
- the human cancer cell lines grown and harvested and cytotoxicity was determined exactly as per example 1 except that the test material used was three lignan mixtures isolated from Cedrus deodara, which were dissolved in separately in DMSO and three working test solutions were prepared of the same concentrations as in example 1.
- Lignan mixture showed dose dependent inhibition of cell growth of the human cancer cell lines studied. All the three mixtures showed more or less the similar pattern of activity. The inhibition varied from 37 to 100% at 100 ⁇ g/ml. All the three mixtures were most effective against human oral cancer cell line KB and showed considerably high inhibition towards cervix (SiHa), neuroblastoma (SK- ⁇ -MC), colon (Colo-205, HCT-15, HT-29 & SW-620), ovary (ONCAR-5) and prostate (PC-3) cell lines. All the colon cell lines used were found to be highly sensitive to lignan mixtures and there may be tissue specificity for colon. The maximum effect towards liver Hep-G-2, lung HOP-18 and ovary ⁇ IH-ONCAR-3 cell lines was observed.
- the lignan mixture obtained from cedrus deodra is showing anti cancer activity against quite number of cell lines.
