<p class="Abstract">In the search for potential anticancer agents from fruits, the present research work was carried out to examine the <em>in vitro </em>cytotoxic potential of seed part of <em>Carissa carandas </em>(<em>karonda</em>) and <em>Syzygium cumini </em>(<em>jamun</em>) against nine human cancer cell lines from eight different origins namely MCF-7, T-47D (breast), SF-295 (CNS), HCT-116 (colon), A-549 (lung), MDA-MB-435 (melanoma), OVCAR-5 (ovary), PC-3 (prostate) and A-498 (renal). Methanolic extracts were used as test material and anticancer activity was determined <em>via</em> SRB assayat 100 μg/mL. Results revealed that seeds suppressed the proliferation of human cancer cells with growth inhibition range of 78-100% (<em>karonda</em>) and 71-93% (<em>jamun</em>). <em>Karonda</em> seeds exhibited 100% growth inhibition of A-549 and OVCAR-5 cancer cells where as <em>jamun</em> seeds displayed 93% growth inhibition of SF-295 cancer cells. The seeds were then evaluated at lower concentrations of 50, 30, 10 and 1 μg/mL in which seeds exhibit significant <em>in vitro</em> cytotoxic effect against lung cancer cells (A-549). Further, IC<sub>50</sub> values were calculated and it was observed that seed extracts from both the fruits showed IC<sub>50</sub><10 in case of lung cancer cells whereas <em>karonda</em> seed extract also showed IC<sub>50</sub><10 in case of colon cancer cells. To conclude, <em>karonda</em> and <em>jamun</em> seeds possess certain constituents with cytotoxic properties that can be used to develop anticancer agents especially for lung cancer therapy and to provide a great service to cancer patients, further studies are required for the isolation of active ingredients from these seeds.</p> |
