Phytochemical analysis and antioxidant defense of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) against pancreatic cancer and AAPH-induced RBCs hemolysis

Abstract

Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) is a superb nutritional source of phenolic compounds that are beneficial in the prevention of different diseases. The main goal of the current study was to estimate the oxidative activity and compare the effect of the ethanol extract of this fruit's peel and flesh on pancreatic cancer against pancreatic cancer and in vitro 2, 2-azobis-2-amidinopropane dihydrochloride (AAPH) erythrocytes hemolytic oxidative damage. Firstly, HPLC was utilized to identify the phenolic compounds in each extract that showed that p-coumaric acid & ferulic acid (in the peel), syringic acid & cinnamic acid (in the flesh) were the most abundant. Concerning the anti-cancer effect, flesh extract exhibited more cytotoxic impact as detected by the reduction of PANC-1 cell line viability with IC 50 of 232.89 µg/ml contrasted with the IC 50 of the peel extract (556.60 µg/ml). Relative to ascorbic acid, both kiwi extracts have been considerably successful in diminishing hemolysis, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and GSH levels of AAPH-induced RBCs. Interestingly, with 80 μg/ml, the ethanol peel extract returned the TBARS and GSH levels to the normal level of RBCs (0.022 and 2.86 nmole/mg hemoglobin, respectively).

Lactobacillus casei enhances the apoptosis inducing effect of geniposide on U87 human glioma cells in vitro

“…Oxidative stress affects the cell signal transduction system, making cancer cells lose normal contact inhibition and continue to proliferate, more and more (Azab & Mostafa, 2022). In addition, oxidative stress can also promote the formation of tumor neovascularization, thereby promoting the growth and metastasis of cancer.…”

Efficacy of green coffee as an antioxidant in beef meatballs compared with ascorbic acid

“…The bioactive polyphenol compounds in aqueous coffee extract were quantified using the El Azab and Mostafa system (2022) . The injector was outfitted with a 20-l loop and a PU-1580 pump and UV-157 detector were applied.…”

Derivatives of 3-Hydroxypyridine in The Correction of Disorders in The Structural and Functional Properties of Erythrocytes in Experimental Acute Destructive Pancreatitis Due to Chronic Ethanol Intoxication

“…Thus, in ADP associated with CAI 100% of the parameters of the structural and functional properties of erythrocytes turned out to be different in content from the values of healthy animals. The changes affected both the peripheral proteins responsible for the structure formation and stabilization of the erythrocyte membrane, morphogenesis and the membrane flexibility (actin, tropomyosin), and integral proteins responsible for the intrinsic cellular metabolism (ATP, G-3-PD, G-S-T, band 4.5 protein) [13][14][15] . As for the determined disorders of the lipid profile content, first of all, a drop in the content of membrane SM and PL, forming the fundation of the double lipid framework of the cell membrane and have a substantial role in the protein macromolecules alignment and erythrocytes normal metabolism 3,7,12 , along with the changes in the proteins architectonics, disrupted the intrinsic cellular metabolism and functional properties of peripheral blood erythrocytes.…”
