Extraction, isolation and in vitro evaluation of affinisine from Tabernaemontana catharinensis in human melanoma cells.

Abstract:

:Plant compounds have been identified as new drug prototypes. In this line, this work aimed to isolate the indole alkaloid affinisine from Tabernaemontana catharinensis and test its antitumor activity. The alkaloid was isolated by silica gel open column chromatography from the ethanolic extract of the stem of T. catharinensis. Afterwards, this molecule was characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. In the next step, the cytotoxicity of the compound was tested against human melanoma cell lines (A375, WM1366 and SK-MEL-28) and a normal skin cell line (CCD-1059Sk) using a MTT (3-4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Cells treated with affinisine were evaluated by flow cytometry to analyze apoptosis and the induction of cell cycle arrest, to evaluate the dead mechanism. The metabolite was isolated in a 0.2% yield relative to the extract. Cytotoxic activity of the molecule was observed at 48 h, resulting in considerable growth inhibition rates in melanoma cells, especially in WM1366, which had the lowest IC50 (32.86 ± 2.54 µg/mL). The apoptosis rate was lower in A375 (56.66 and 86.71% with 57 and 65 µg/mL, respectively). Moreover, affinisine was able to significantly induce cell cycle arrest in different phases in the A375 and WM1366 cell lines. However, in SK-MEL-28 cells, cycle arrest was not observed. In summary, this compound significantly decreased the viability of tumor cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner for all evaluated lineages, reduced cell viability by the apoptosis mechanism and presented prominent activities of cell cycle arrest. In this way, the use of antineoplastic agents is among the most widely used therapeutic measures for the control and treatment of cancer. Affinisine is a promising prototype in the search for new drugs to treat cancer.
