Cytotoxic compounds from Ratibida columnifera flowers and leaves were identified. Compound 5 induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells via a novel mechanism, though it lacked in vivo efficacy.

Area of Science:

  • Natural Products Chemistry
  • Pharmacology
  • Cancer Biology

Background:

  • Ratibida columnifera (prairie coneflower) is a plant with potential medicinal properties.
  • Natural products are a rich source of novel anticancer agents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To isolate and characterize cytotoxic compounds from Ratibida columnifera.
  • To evaluate the anticancer potential and mechanism of action of isolated compounds.

Main Methods:

  • Bioassay-directed fractionation of plant extracts using LNCaP cells.
  • Isolation and structural elucidation of cytotoxic compounds using spectroscopic methods.
  • In vitro cell cycle analysis, apoptosis assays, and mechanism of action studies.

Main Results:

  • Ten cytotoxic substances were isolated, including five novel xanthanolide derivatives, one novel nerolidol derivative, and known compounds.
  • Compound 5 induced G1 arrest in wild-type p53 cells and G2/M arrest in p53-mutant cells, leading to apoptosis.
  • Compound 5's activity was independent of the multidrug resistance pump and did not target common anticancer pathways.

Conclusions:

  • Ratibida columnifera contains novel cytotoxic compounds with potential anticancer activity.
  • Compound 5 exhibits a novel mechanism of action inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
  • Further investigation is needed to optimize compound 5 for therapeutic applications, as in vivo studies were negative.
