Insights

Bidens bipinnata L. extract shows significant potential in inhibiting cervical carcinoma U14 cell growth. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated its anti-tumor effects, suggesting therapeutic possibilities.

Area of Science:

  • Phytochemistry
  • Oncology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Cervical carcinoma remains a significant global health challenge.
  • Exploring natural compounds for cancer treatment is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the anti-cancer properties of Bidens bipinnata L. extract.
  • To evaluate its inhibitory effects on cervical carcinoma U14 cells in vitro and in vivo.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro MTT assay to assess cytotoxicity against U14 cells.
  • In vivo studies using mouse models for solid and ascites tumors.
  • Measurement of solid tumor inhibition and ascites tumor life prolongation rates.

Main Results:

  • Bidens bipinnata L. extract demonstrated dose- and time-dependent inhibition of U14 cells in vitro, reaching 70.44% at 80µg/L.
  • In vivo, high-dose extract achieved a 49.13% solid tumor inhibition rate and 63.63% life prolongation rate.
  • Cisplatin showed higher efficacy (75.72% solid tumor inhibition, 87.34% life prolongation).

Conclusions:

  • Bidens bipinnata L. extract exhibits a notable inhibitory effect on the growth of cervical carcinoma U14.
  • Further research is warranted to explore its therapeutic potential and mechanisms of action.
