Typhonium flagelliforme is an Indonesian herbal plant used and applied traditionally to treat cancer diseases. Gamma rays have irradiated rodent tuber mutant plant at six doses gray to in-crease the chemical compounds of anticancer activity. The effect of isolated compounds from ro-dent tuber mutant plants has never been studied and published yet. Our study unveiled the poten-tial of stigmasterol as a remarkable cytotoxic agent and the significant contribution of NMR spectroscopy, IR, Mass spectra, QTOF MS towards the isolation and identification of this anti-cancer agent. Stigmasterol was isolated from T. flagelliforme mutant plant. Stigmasterol was more effective against MCF-7 cells with an IC50 value of 0.1623 µM than Cisplatin with IC50 value 13.2 µM. It is the most potential and active fraction in the human breast cancer cell line. The mo-lecular docking study analyzed the chemical profile of stigmasterol to confirm the receptor in agonist binding sites. The prediction of the toxicity of stigmasterol compounds using in silico and analysis of its interaction with the receptor can act as a competitive regulator with a high-affinity binding site on FXR. Stigmasterol has potential as a candidate for an anticancer drug that pro-moting further clinical action.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
