Evaluation of antigenotoxicity effects of umbelliprenin on human peripheral lymphocytes exposed to oxidative stress

Abstract: The protective properties of a prenylated coumarin, umbelliprenin (UMB), on the human lymphocytes DNA lesions were tested. Lymphocytes were isolated from blood samples taken from healthy volunteers. DNA breaks and resistance to H(2)O(2)-induced damage were measured using a single-cell microgel electrophoresis technique under alkaline conditions (comet assay). Human lymphocytes were incubated in UMB (10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 400 microM) alone or a combination of different concentrations of UMB (10, 25, 50, 100… Show more

“…Umbelliprenin has been shown to be a promising antiinflammatory and anti-oxidant agent in both in vivo and in vitro models (9,10). The induction of apoptosis and chemopreventive activities has also been reported for this compound (12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

“…MMPs play critical roles in tumor invasion and the inflammatory process (8). Secondly, in vitro and in vivo models have provided evidence of antilipoxygenase, antioxidants; and anti-inflammatory properties for umbelliprenin (9,10). Chronic inflammation and free radicals can accelerate several aspects of tumorigenesis (9,11).…”

“…Umbelliprenin (Umb; C 24 H 30 O 3 ; molecular weight, 366), a member of 7-prenyloxycoumarins, is a naturally occurring compound, which is isolated from Ferula species, including Ferula szowitsiana (1,2). This compound is able to suppress tumorigenesis through its anti-inflammatory, anti-genotoxicity, anti-invasive and lipoxygenase inhibitory activities (3)(4)(5)(6). In vitro, Umb has been reported to attenuate the proliferation of various cancer cell lines, and is able to prevent/delay cancer in in vivo animal models of papilloma and lung cancer (7)(8)(9).…”

“…Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) act as antioxidant and has long been known for its anti-cancer properties (11). The comet assay is a defined genotoxicity assay (in vitro and in vivo) of chemicals (12,13) and it is a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for detecting DNA breaks in individual cells, and is commonly used in genotoxicity assays, primary researches in DNA damage and repair and is also being increasingly more used in human biomonitoring (14,15,16). The aim of the present was to detect the protective effect of AA on H2O2 that induced oxidative damage in DNA by using Comet assay.…”
