In vitro and in vivo evaluation of a standardized Curcuma longa Linn formulation in cervical cancer

Background: The anti-cancer activity of phytomolecules present in turmeric or haridra (Curcuma longa Linn) extracts against cancer has been described in various ‘in vitro and in vivo’ studies. Objective: In the present study, in vitro and in vivo anti-cancer and chemo-preventive activity of a new st...

Objective: In the present study, in vitro and in vivo anti-cancer and chemo-preventive activity of a new standardized Supercritical Turmeric Oil Extract (SCTOE) NBFR-03 was evaluated in cervical cancer models. Methods and materials: In vitro cytotoxicity of this formulation was assessed at 10, 20, 40, and 80 μg/ml concentrations, in three cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa, SiHa, ME180) using Sulforhodamine B assay. The in vivo anti-cancer activity was evaluated in two groups of female nude mice; the first one was with tumor xenograft implants and at the same time treatment was started with 96 μl/kg/day p.o. and 192 μl/kg/day p.o. NBFR-03 for three months. The second group was kept as chemoprevention group where mice were pre-treated with the formulation (96 μl/kg/day p.o.) for two weeks and injected with cancer cell suspension with continued treatment for three months. Results: No cytotoxicity was seen in any cell line with the extract when compared to positive control (Adriamycin 10 μg/ml). In mice the first treatment group with tumor xenograft implants did not show any significant anti-tumor activity but showed a trend where higher dose group had smaller tumor volumes as compared to lower dose group and controls (p = 0.37 and p = 0.34 respectively). The chemopreventive group with pre-treated mice also showed smaller tumor size as compared to controls (p = 0.163). Conclusion: NBFR-03 turmeric oil extract showed a promising trend in mice pre-treated with NBFR-03. There is a scope for further studying the potential of this extract as complementary therapy and as a chemopreventive.P.H. ParadkarA.S. JuvekarM.S. BarkumeA.J. AmonkarJ.V. JoshiG. SomanA.D.B.
