The Investigation of Cytotoxic Effect of Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Extracts on Human Breast Cancer Cell Line (Mcf-7)

Abstract

Cinnamon is one of the oldest herbal medicine that has been historically known to possess has anticancer property. In this study, the cytotoxicity of the cinnamon extracts towards human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) was investigated. Cinnamomum zeylanicum was extracted using Soxhlet and water extraction methods, producing 7.06% and 2.54% of yield respectively. The extracts were analysed using Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) and it was found that cinnamaldehyde is the major constituents which contribute more than 70% of the major constituents. The cytotoxicity of C. zeylanicum extract against MCF-7 was determined through colorimetric MTT assay at 24 and 48 hours of incubation periods. The IC50 values of Soxhlet extract were 58 µg/ml and 140 µg/ml while the IC50 values of water extract were 9 mg/ml and 4.8 mg/ml, at 24 and 48 hours treatment respectively. In conclusion, C. zeylanicum extracts has been confirmed to have cytotoxic effect towards MCF-7 cell line in different concentrations at two different incubation periods.

“…[6][7][8][9][10] There are more than 200 types of cancer today, one of the most common of which is lung cancer. [11][12][13][14][15] Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in men and women and is one of the most preventable cancers. There are generally two types of lung cancer: [16][17][18][19][20][21] (1) Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (2) Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)…”

Investigation of the Mechanism of hsa_circ_000 1429 Adsorbed miR‐205 to Regulate KDM4A and Promote Breast Cancer Metastasis

“…miR-205 has a regulatory role in the occurrence of colorectal cancer, breast cancer, glial cell carcinoma, and other malignant tumors, but miR-205 has an opposite expression trend in different cancers [ 16 , 17 ]. The regulatory mechanism of miR-205 expression in breast cancer is still inconclusive [ 18 ]. In addition, the study screens the downstream target genes of miR-205 through the StarBase website and finds that there is a binding site between miR-205 and KDM4A.…”
