Cytotoxic Activities of Prenylated Phenolic Substances

Original language description

Natural prenylated phenolics combine a phenolic skeleton with a lipophilic prenyl side-chain. The-side chain may be modified, mainly by oxidation, and this gives enormous degree of structural variability. Combination of the flavonoid skeleton with a lipophilicity of the prenyl side-chain gives the resultant great potential for bio-activity. Prenylated polyphenolics therefore show wide spectrum of biological effects, including antioxidative, antiphlogistic, antimicrobial, anticancerogenic and estrogenic. Our research is focused mainly on prenylated flavonoids and benzofurans isolated from Paulownia tomentosa and Morus alba, respectively. These compounds showed antibacterial, cytotoxic, and anti-inflammatory activity. The cytotoxic potential of prenylated flavonoids was analysed using a number of cancer cell lines and compared with standards. We tried to evaluate the mechanism of the toxic action using analysis of cell cycle and expression of molecules important for cell cycle control. Furthermore, we tried to perform a screening of potential of prenylated flavonoids affect to alter intercellular communication. Twenty flavonoids isolated from P. tomentosa were investigated to elucidate their ability to revert gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) using in vitro mammalian tumorigenic cell line WB-Ha-ras. WB-Ha-ras cells are Ha ras oncogene-transformed rat liver epithelial cells, naturally exerting low level of GJIC. Several investigated flavonoids were found to significantly increase GJIC and restore the crucial control homeostatic mechanism in in vitro WB-Ha-ras cells line, indicating potential chemopreventive and anticancer effects.
