Abstrakt: | Introduction: Helichrysum leucocephalum Boiss. (Asteraceae) is an endemic plant to Iran. No reports have studied the cytotoxicity of the plant. The current study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of H. leucocephalum collected from Fars province (Iran) against MCF-7 and HDF cell lines using HPLC-based activity profiling and to annotate the active constituents by LC-ESIQTOF-MS/MS. Methods: H. leucocephalum was collected from three locations in Fars province. The dried flowers and leaves were separately extracted by percolation using methanol. The crude extracts were fractionated by liquid-liquid partitioning with dichloromethane (DCM) and aqueous methanol. The cytotoxicity of the fractions was evaluated against MCF-7 and HDF cells by Alamarblue assay. HPLC-based activity profiling was used to track the active constituents. LC-MS dereplication strategy was used for the annotation of the compounds in the active time window. LC-MS data were preprocessed by MZmine 3.3.0 and submitted to multivariate analysis to compare the differences and similarities in the metabolites of the samples. Results: The DCM fractions showed a dose-dependent cytotoxicity against the cancerous cells (IC50s, 9.8-105.1 μg/ml). In general, the metabolites of the flowers and their cytotoxicity were higher than the leaves. LCESIMS/MS analyses revealed that prenylated and geranylated α,β-unsaturated spiroketal phloroglucinols were among the active constituents. Conclusion: It can be concluded that H. leucocephalum is a rich source of phloroglucinol derivatives with cytotoxic activities. Further phytochemical analysis is needed to characterize the bioactive components.
