Oleanolic Acid, Processes Anti-Gastric Cancer In Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

The stomach located between the esophagus and the small intestine is a muscular, hollow and important organ of the digestive tract.

Gastric/Stomach cancer is a chronic condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the tissues of the stomach.

Most cases of gastric cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of stomach tissue.
Due to the small size at the early stage, gastric cancer is asymptomatic.

However, at the later stage, after penetrating into the deeper layers of the stomach, the cancer cell may travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis.

At this stage, most patients with gastric cancer may experience symptoms of severe abdominal pain caused by the suppressing of the oversize tumor on the nerve cells, or vague discomfort in the abdomen, usually above the navel, particularly heartburn and indigestion, accompanied by general symptoms shared with other types of cancer.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2019, approximately, 27,510 cases of stomach cancer will be diagnosed (17,230 in men and 10,280 in women) and 11,140 people will die from gastric cancer (6,800 men and 4,340 women).

Overall, the 5-year survival rate for people with gastric cancer is 31%. Cancer diagnosed at the localized stage have a 5 years survival rate of 67%.

Common sites metastases of gastric cancer are liver (48%), peritoneum (32%), lung (15%), and bone (12%).

The most common causative risk factor of gastric cancer is infection with a common bacteria, H. pylori, which were found to cause ulcers and Inflammatory gastritis,.

Oleanolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belonging to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in honey mesquite, garlic, java apple, clove, etc.

On finding a potential plant that processes anti-cancer activity researchers examined the effect of a
synergism of cisplatin-oleanolic acid on colon cancer.

According to the results of the analysis of cancer cell membrane (CM) decorated calcium carbonate (CC) hybrid nanoparticles (HN) for the co-delivery of cisplatin (CDDP) and oleanolic acid (OA),
* The -prepared DDS was core-shell structured and well-dispersed nanoparticles with a size around 100 nm.

* The HN/CDDP/OA showed high stability and biocompatibility with pH-responsive drug release. 

* The CM modification in HN also demonstrated a highly elevated tumor-homing nature than barely decorated calcium carbonate (CC).
* HN/CDDP/OA in the treatment of gastric cancer (MGC-803 cell line) showed better performance than mono systems with enhanced apoptosis and capable of reversing multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells.

Taken altogether, Oleanolic acid may be considered a remedy or the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
