Achillea vermicularis a medicinal plant from Iranian Traditional Medicine induces apoptosis in MCF-7 cells
Authors
Abstract:
Background and objectives: Achillea is an ancient medicinal herb. The genus comprises about 100 species which are mostly distributed in northern hemisphere and some have been investigated for different biological activities. There are also several reports in Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM) texts about its anti-tumor effect. The cytotoxic activity of the methanol extract of Achillea vermicularis Trin. has been reported in previous studies against different tumor cell lines. Based on these reports, the species has been further investigated for apoptosis induction ability. Methods: The apoptosis induction ability has been evaluated through activated caspase 3 investigation in intact MCF-7 cells in vitro. Results: The assay demonstrated signs of caspase 3 activation in MCF-7 cells. Conclusion: Achillea vermicularis is suggested for further mechanistic evaluations in apoptosis studies.

Econazole nitrate (EN), a synthetic compound, is now in use as a routine antifungal drug. EN was shown to have antitumor effect, the tumor cell killing mechanisms, however, remain unclear. In this research, the apoptosis-inducing effect of EN on MCF-7 cells was investigated. The results showed that EN inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner by MTT method ...
