Résumé
Introducción. Los tumores neoplásicos se caracterizan por su invasividad y metástasis. Las células neoplásicas tienen heterogeneidad genética, por lo cual pueden desarrollar resistencia a los quimioterápicos. Por esta razón, las plantas continúan siendo una fuente importante de nuevos productos anticancerígenos. Objetivo. Evaluar la actividad citotóxica y antiproliferativa de un extracto rico en fucoidan de Lessonia trabeculata nativa (EFLt) sobre la línea celular de adenocarcinoma mamario murino, triple negativo 4T1. Métodos. La citotoxicidad y la IC50 se determinaron en monocapas de 4T1 empleando el reactivo MTT. Para demostrar la actividad antiproliferativa se aplicaron los métodos de cierre de herida y anticlonogénico utilizando las IC50 del EFLt y Dox (doxorubicina). El cierre de herida fue evaluado mediante barrido de tiempos discretos; el efecto anticlonogénico fue evaluado 7 días postratamiento mediante el conteo de colonias y se determinó la fracción de sobrevivencia. Adicionalmente, se evaluaron la citotoxicidad y actividad antiproliferativa combinando las IC50 de EFLt y Dox. El porcentaje de migración y conteo de colonias se realizó con el programa ImageJ. Resultados. La IC50 del EFLt (950 μg/mL) produjo 56% de citotoxicidad, 80,3% de inhibición de la migración celular, 68% de inhibición en la formación de colonias. La IC50 de Dox fue 0,5 μg/mL. Conclusiones. El EFLt ejerce citotoxicidad dependiente de la concentración y tiene efecto antiproliferativo sobre 4T1. Se requiere continuar los ensayos en modelos de mayor complejidad que permitan esclarecer el potencial antitumoral del EFLt.
Introduction. Neoplastic tumors are characterized by invasiveness and metastasis. Neoplastic cells are genetically heterogeneous and can develop resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. For this reason, plants continue to be an important source of new anticancer products. Objective. To determine the cytotoxic and antiproliferative activity of a fucoidan-rich extract of native Lessonia trabeculata (EFLt) on the tripe negative murine mammary adenocarcinoma cell line 4T1. Methods. Cytotoxicity and IC50 were determined in 4T1 monolayers using the MTT reagent. To demonstrate antiproliferative activity, "wound" closure and anticlonogenic methods were applied using the IC50 of EFLt and Doc (doxorubicin). "Wound" closure was evaluated by discrete times sweep to determine percentage inhibition of cell migration; the anticlonogenic effect was evaluated by colony counting 7 days after treatment and the survival fraction was determined. In addition, cytotoxicity and antiproliferative activity were evaluated by combining the IC50 of EFLt and Dox. Percent migration and colony counts were performed using ImageJ software. Results. The IC50 (950 μg/mL) of EFLt was 56% cytotoxicity, 80,3% inhibition of cell migration, 68% inhibition of colony formation.The ICof Dox was 0,5 μg/mL. Conclusions. EFLt exerts concentration-dependent cytotoxicity and antiproliferative effect on 4T1. Further studies in more complex models are needed to elucidate the anti-tumor potential of EFLt.

Abstract Objective: To determine the total level of flavonoids in brown algae extract Padina sp., Sargassum sp., and Turbinaria sp., which could serve as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. Material and Methods: This is an experimental study with a one-shot case study research design. The study sample consisted of three species of brown algae, namely, Padina sp., Sargassum sp., and Turbinaria sp. The study samples were obtained from Saugi Island, Pangkep, Regency. The sampling method used was convenience sampling. The total flavonoid level in the three extracts of brown algae samples was determined at three concentrations (150 ppm, 300 ppm, and 450 ppm) with three replicates. The analysis used a colorimetric method, a spectrophotometer and aluminium chloride as the reagent. Results: The total level of flavonoids in Padina sp. was the highest at 0.894 ± 0.027%, compared to the levels of 0.786 ± 0.075% in Sargassum sp. and 0.745 ± 0.016% in Turbinaria sp. Conclusion: Padina sp. had the highest total flavonoid levels compared to Sargassum sp. and Turbinaria sp. Flavonoid compounds from brown algae have the potential to be used as analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
