Abstract:
Goyazensolide (C19H20O7) is a rare sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Piptocoma rufescens Cass. (Asteraceae). Goyazensolide significantly inhibits NF-κB transcription factor and decreased the cell growth of HT-29 colon cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. In the present study, we investigated the effects of goyazensolide in a hollow fiber assay using in vivo setting. We also examined the involvement of ROS-signaling components (ROS levels, NF-κB transcription factor, mitochondrial membrane potential) and demonstrated that the antiproliferative effect of cancer cells is partially mediated by induction of oxidative stress. It is our aim to further investigate the molecular mechanism through which goyazensolide exerts its cytotoxic effect in vitro and its antitumor effect in vivo. Our data therefore supports goyazensolide as an active anti-proliferative agent with great potential for further development.
