Abstract EN
Natural products are excellent resources for finding lead structures for the development of chemotherapeutic agents.
Coumarins are a class of natural compounds found in a variety of plants.
In this study, we evaluated the cytotoxic potential of coumarins isolated from Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindl.
in PC3, SKNMC, and H1299 (p53 null) human carcinoma cell lines.
Osthole proved to be an outstanding potent cytotoxic agent especially against PC3 cells.
Isoimperatorin exhibited moderate inhibitory effect against SKNMC and PC3 cell lines.
Oxypeucedanin and braylin did not display any cytotoxic activity.
In the next set of experiments, the apoptotic potentials of osthole and isoimperatorin were investigated.
Induction of apoptosis by isoimperatorin was accompanied by an increase in activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9 in SKNMC cells and caspase-3 and -9 in PC3 cells.
Moreover, isoimperatorin induced apoptosis by upregulating Bax and Smac/DIABLO genes in PC3 and SKNMC cells.
Osthole induced apoptosis by downregulating antiapoptotic Bcl-2 in only PC3 cells and upregulating the proapoptotic genes Bax and Smac/DIABLO in PC3, SKNMC, and H1299 cells.
The effects of osthole on H1299 cells are important because the loss of p53 has been associated with poor clinical prognosis in cancer treatment.
