Abstract:
Annonacea species have been reported to possess antitumor properties. However, the in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities of Xylopia aromatica (Annonacea) have not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Xylopia aromatica leaves hexane fraction (XaHF) on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells lines (EAC), both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro assays revealed a significant cytotoxic effect with the two lower XaHF concentrations (62.5 and 32.3mg/mL). EAC (2.5x106 cells) were inoculated in the right flank of Swiss mice, and the animals were treated intraperitoneally with 32.3mg kg-1 of XaHF daily, for 20 days. Our findings indicate that XaHF suppressed the growth of EAC in vivo, with a significant decrease (46%) in tumor volume. There was also a decrease in the necrosis area (71%), inflammatory infiltrate, and MMP-2 expression. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode Array Detector (HPLC- DAD) identified secondary metabolites possibly related to phenolic acids, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Thus, the results confirmed the antitumoral activity that may be related to the presence of the identified metabolites in XaHF extract
