  • Title: Investigating the cytotoxic and apoptosis inducing effects of monoterpenoid stylosin in vitro.
    Author: Rassouli FB, Matin MM, Iranshahi M, Bahrami AR.
    Journal: Fitoterapia; 2011 Jul; 82(5):742-9. PubMed ID: 21459136.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxic and anticancer activities of stylosin, a monoterpene extracted from an edible plant, Ferula ovina, on 5637 and HFF3 cells using MTT and comet assays and DAPI staining. To assess stylosin effects, cells were cultured in the presence of various concentrations of stylosin during three days; the IC(50) of stylosin on cancerous 5637 cells was less than its value on HFF3 normal cells, indicating that it might have anticancer properties. Investigating the mechanism of stylosin action revealed that it quickly induced DNA lesions and increased the number of apoptotic cells.
