OBJECTIVE Swietenia macrophylla have been considered for the treatment of various diseases, including anticancer activity. This study aimed to investigate the anticancer activity of S. macrophylla leaves extract and its isolated compound towards human colorectal cancer cell line. METHODS Hexanic extract of S. macrophylla leaves demonstrated relevant cytotoxicity only against colon cancer cell line HCT116. RESULTS Our results showed significant DNA damage and apoptosis after treatment with the hexanic extract of S. macrophylla. Moreover, no toxicity was noticed for the animal model. The isolated compound limonoid L1 showed potent cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines with IC50 at 55.87 μg mL-1. Limonoid L1 did not trigger any cell membrane rupture in the mice erythrocytes suggesting no toxicity. The antiproliferative effect of L1 was confirmed in colorectal cancer cells by clonogenic assay, inducing G2/M arrest, apoptosis, and DNA damage in cancer-type cells. CONCLUSIONS L1 reduced BCL2 and increased ATM, CHK2, TP53, ARF, CDK1, CDKN1A, and CASP3 in the colorectal cancer cell line. These findings suggest that limonoid L1 isolated from S. macrophylla can be a promising anticancer agent in managing colorectal cancer.

D010936 Plant Extracts Concentrated pharmaceutical preparations of plants obtained by removing active constituents with a suitable solvent, which is evaporated away, and adjusting the residue to a prescribed standard. Herbal Medicines,Plant Extract,Extract, Plant,Extracts, Plant,Medicines, Herbal
D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
