Phytoconstituent Isolation and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of the Egyptian Cassia occidentalis L. Possessing Selective Activity against Lung Carcinoma

Research Abstract

Ethyl acetate fraction column chromatographic analysis was used to isolate eleven compounds (numerically tagged 1–10) from Cassia occidentalis L. in this study. Two unique metabolites, including a neolignan compound designated as occidentalignan I (9) and a 4avonoidal glycoside, chrysin-7-O-)-L-rhamnopyranosyl (10), were identi8ed, while silybin A (8) was the 8rst 4avonolignan to be isolated from the Fabaceae family. Four compounds, including *-sitosterol-3-O-*-D-glucopyranoside (1), stigmasterol-3-O-*-D-glucopyranoside (2), betulinic acid (3), and vanillic acid (4) were isolated from C. occidentalis for the 8rst time. In addition, four known compounds, cinnamic acid (5), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (6), *- resorcylic acid (7), and citric acid (11),
were also detected. )e in-vitro cytotoxicity assessment of the methanolic extract of C. occidentalis on seven cancer cell lines, including A-549, Colo-205, Huh-7, HCT-116, PANC-1, SKOV-3, and BNL, demonstrated its selective potent cytotoxicity on lung cancer cells without aCecting normal BNL cells. In contrast, the methanolic extract showed moderate activity on Colo-205 and Huh-7 and nearly no activity on HCT-116, PANC-1, and SKOV-3 cell lines. )ese results suggest that the methanolic extract of C. occidentalis is an excellent candidate with potential antiproliferative activity against lung cancer; however, further studies are necessary to clarify its mechanism of action.
