RESUMO

The main focus of anticancer drug discovery is on developing medications that are gentle on normal cells and should have the ability to target multiple anti-cancer pathways. Liver cancer is becoming a worldwide epidemic due to the highest occurring and reoccurring rate in some countries. Calotropis procera is a xerophytic herbal plant growing wildly in Saudi Arabia. Due to its anti-angiogenic and anticancer capabilities, "C. procera" is a viable option for developing innovative anticancer medicines. However, no study has been done previously, to discover angiogenic and anti-cancer targets which are regulated by C. procera in liver cancer. In this study, leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds of C. procera were used to prepare crude extracts and were fractionated into four solvents of diverse polarities. These bioactivity-guided solvent fractions helped to identify useful compounds with minimal side effects. The phytoconstituents present in the leaves and stem were identified by GC-MS. In silico studies were done to predict the anti-cancer targets by major bioactive constituents present in leaves and stem extracts. A human angiogenesis antibody array was performed to profile novel angiogenic targets. The results from this study showed that C. procera extracts are an ideal anti-cancer remedy with minimum toxicity to normal cells as revealed by zebrafish in vivo toxicity screening assays. The novel antiangiogenic and anticancer targets identified in this study could be explored to design medication against liver cancer.
