Abstract EN
Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality accounting for one in every six deaths globally.
Plant sec- ondary metabolites, among them polyphenols, represent an effective and much safer alternative approach to the currently available medications.
In this work, utilizing LC-MS/MS, we characterized the constituents of S.
yapa leaves extract and evaluated its antioxidant and anticancer properties.
In total, 34 secondary metabolites, mainly flavonoids (Tricin, luteolin, and apigenin and their glucosides as well as sulfated derivatives) were identified.
The extract manifested substantial antioxidant activity in DPPH assay, and high total phenolic content determined by Folin Ciocalteu method.
The extract was safe up to 4800 mg/kg b.wt.
when administered orally in mice and neither affected the hematological parameters nor the liver enzyme levels at the studied dose (LD50, 480 mg, kg b.wt.).
In the treated animals, the extract surpassed the reference drug (5-flouro uracil) and significantly reduced the tumor volume and weight by 71.50 and 85.46%, respectively, increased the median survival time to 53.2 days and the lifespan by 116%.
The extract improved all the hematological parameters, where it increased the hemoglobin (Hb) concen- tration, red blood cell (RBC) count, packed cell volume (PVC) and platelets by 58.21, 8.98, 9.89 and 120%, respectively, compared to the untreated EAC bearing animals.
Additionally, the extract significantly declined the elevated levels of ALT and AST enzymes by 29.18% and 59.88%, respectively.
In molecular docking, the annotated flavonoids displayed appreciable binding affinities to the active sites of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2.
In conclusion, Saba yapa is a promising plant that can be introduced to further advanced clinical studies for the development of novel anticancer drugs with lower side effects.
