IMMUNOMODULATORY, ANTICANCEROUS & ANTIOXIDANTACTIVITIES OF CYCLEA PELTATA (LAM.) HOOK.F. & THOMSON
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 10
Abstract
Introduction: Cyclea peltata (Lam.) Hook.f. & Thomson is an important plant listed in Ayurveda. The plants are used in digestive, diuretic and inflammatory disorders. Aim: The present study was to study the immunomodulatory, anticancerous and antioxidative properties of the fraction isolated from Cyclea peltata. Methods: The immunomodulatory activity was evaluated in lymphocytes and THP-1 macrophage cell lines. The anticancer activity of the fraction was determined by MTT assay. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH and total antioxidant assays. Results: The fraction showed the presence of flavanoids which induced lymphocyte proliferation and also could induce nitrite production in THP-1 cell lines at 1mg/ml. It also exhibited good anticancerous activity at 100 μg/ml after 48h of incubation. The antioxidant activity was less at this concentration and was found to be equivalent to 79± 0.03 μg/ml of ascorbic acid. Conclusion: The fraction containing flavonoid, isolated from Cyclea peltata have shown to have good immunomodulatory, antioxidant and anticancerous property.
