Investigations on Leucas cephalotes (Roth.) Spreng. for inhibition of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory mediators in murine macrophages and in rat model

Current research aims to screen the anticancer prospective of Leucas biflora phytocompounds against apoptotic regulator target protein essential for cancer progression. In gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis major phytocompounds such as tetracosahexaene, squalene, phytol, 22‐stigmasten‐3‐one, stigmasterol, fluorene, and 1,4‐dihydro were identified in ethanolic leaf extract of Leucas biflora. In vitro, the free radical scavenging potential of ethanolic leaf extract of Leucas biflora was examined through its DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging potential IC50 value 15.35 and 13.20 μg/ml, respectively. Dose‐dependent cytotoxicity was monitored against both A549 lung cancer and HELA cervical cancer cells. Leucas biflora ethanolic leaf extract highly reduces the cell viability of both HELA and A549 cells in in vitro cytotoxicity assays. Leucas biflora ethanolic extract produces 23.76% and 29.76% viability rates against A549 lung and HELA cervical cancer cell lines, and their IC50 values differ slightly at 95.80 and 90.40 μg/ml, respectively. In molecular docking analysis lung cancer target protein–ligand complex 5Y9T‐16132746 showed a maximum score of −14 kcal/mol by exhibiting stable binding affinity and interactions among all screened complexes. Based on docking score nine phytocompounds from Leucas biflora and two reference standard drugs were chosen for further analysis. Further validation reveals that the fluorene, 1,4‐dihydro possess good ADMET, Bioactivity and density functional theory indices.
