Abstract
Promising cytotoxic effects of several Gardenia species (Rubiaceae) have been established by many studies. The current study evaluated MTT-based cytotoxic activities of the crude extract from Gardenia thunbergia L. f. aerial parts and four fractions thereof, including n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate, and aqueous, against human leukemia (HL-60) and hepatoma (HepG2) cell lines, as well as the normal (WI38) cell line. Both non-polar fractions, n-hexane and dichloromethane, showed tumor-selective toxicities against both tested cancerous cell lines. These results sparked our interest in chemically characterising these bioactive fractions to reveal their cytotoxic components. The composition of n-hexane-soluble fraction was investigated via GC-MS analysis, while column chromatographic separation was used to isolate the components of DCM-soluble fraction. These isolated phytochemicals were identified via spectroscopic analyses. Besides, the chemotaxonomic value of the detected phytochemicals and their reported cytotoxic profiles were discussed.
