چکیده
|
Crude hydromethanolic (80% methanol) extracts produced by maceration of onopordum acanthium leaves and spartium junceum flowers were tested for cytotoxic effects against glioblastoma u-373 tumour cells. onopordum acanthium extract was found to be ~5 times more cytotoxic than spartium junceum (ic50 values of 309 and 1602μg/ml,respectively). similar to most chemotherapeutic agents killing through the intrinsic pathway,onopordum killed the cells via apoptosis,which was confirmed by the activation of caspase-3. spartium exerted its weak cytotoxic effect,presumably by a caspase-independent,non-apoptotic form of necrotic-like programmed cell death. onopordum acanthium is considered a promising plant for the researchers investigating putative biological activities,particularly antitumour and immune-related activity.
