Anticancer and Cytotoxic Activities of Some Trigonella Species on MCF-7, L929 and HeLa Cell Lines

OpenAlex · English

Trigonella filipes Boiss, Trigonella strangulata Boiss., and Trigonella uninata Banks and Sol., are three commonly used species that grow well in Iraq’s northern suburbs and are frequently consumed and used in traditional medicine. The current study was planned to assess and identify the active chemicals in these plant species, as well as to analyze their anticancer and antiprofeliration effects in rats treated with alcohol and cholesterol. Plant extracts were tested for oxidative stress index (OSI), total oxidant status (TOS), and total antioxidant status (TAS). Administration of Trigonella foenum-graecum and Trigonella monantha significantly improved these changes in diseased rats. MTT cytotoxicity test was used to investigate the cytotoxic properties of Trigonella filipes, Trigonella strangulata, and Trigonella uncinata plant extracts on three distinct cell lines in varied concentrations (1–10–100–1000 g/mL) after 24 h of incubation. The results were supported that these three plant taxa have high phytochemical compounds that have physiological effects such as inhibit cell proliferation, improving the function of liver and kidney function, and antioxidants effect.
