| Popis: | Most of the present anticancer drugs are highly cytotoxic and focus mainly on killing tumor cells rather than slowing the progress of cancer metastasis. Evidence has been reported that bridges the mechanisms of inflammation and tumor invasion. Therefore, we evaluated the potency in cancer metastasis chemoprevention of compounds and a coumarin extracted from Murraya exotica, which is known for its anti-inflammation bioactivity. By carrying out experiments in vitro, we found the root extracts more efficient than the leaf extracts in restraining cell migration of MDA-MB-231 cells, while leaf extracts presented slightly stronger inhibition of tumor cell adhesion at low concentrations. In addition, compared to root extracts, a novel coumarin identified previously from root extracts showed equal inhibition on cancer cell adhesion and less inhibition on cell migration. All extracts used in this study presented low cytotoxicity in vitro. Through comparison of the contents of leaf and root extracts from M exotica, several compounds are considered promising against cancer metastasis. This study evaluates the worth of further development of M exotica to find its effect on cancer metastasis chemoprevention. |
