Anise may have a potential and substantial effect in reduced risk and progression and treatment of colon cancer, some scientists suggested.
Anise is a flowering plant of the species of Pimpinella anisum, genus Pimpinella, belongings to the family Apiaceae native to Egypt and the Mediterranean region, used in traditional herbal medicine as a fragrance in soaps, oils, and mouth fresheners and stomachic, anti-septic, anti-spasmodic,...
Chemical comstituents
Anethole, D-pinene, I-phellandrene, Alpha-terpineol, Safrol, Methyl chavicol, Resin, Shikimic acid, etc.
In the study of a green synthesis route to produce AgNPs by using an aqueous extract of Pimpinella anisum seeds (3 mM) on human neonatal skin stromal cells (hSSCs) and colon cancer cells (HT115) researchers found that under influence of Anise extract, AgNPs exhibited a strong cytotoxicity effect against hSSC cells and HT115 cells through inhibited the cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, in a dose-dependent manner, according to proliferation tests and cell viability assays.
Further differentiation also suggested that green-synthesized AgNPs exerted a significant effect against five infectious bacteria: Staphylococcus pyogenes (29213), Acinetobacter baumannii (4436), Klebsiella pneumoniae (G455), Salmonella typhi, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa which have been associated to increase risk of colon cancer.
After taking into account other confounders, Dr. Alsalhi MS, the lead author suggested that
P. anisum-synthesized AgNPs as novel and cheap agents for eco-friendly nanosynthetical routes in the treatment of colon cancer.
Moreover, the examine 3 commercially grown native herbs unique to Australia, Tasmannia pepper leaf (Tasmannia lanceolata R. Br., Winteracea; TPL), anise myrtle (Syzygium anisatum Vickery, Craven & Biffen, Myrtaceae; AM) and lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora F. Muell, Myrtaceae; LM) as well as a reference sample bay leaf (Laurus nobilis L., Lauraceae; BL), cytoprotective properties in colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cells, indicated that Anise demonstrated a potential effect in inhibited colon cancer cell line HT-29 with IC(50) through
increased antioxidant activity in reduced expression of reactive oxygen species in the initiation of cancer cell proliferation.
Additionally, the Application of Anise promoted colon cancer cell death by activating caspase-3 enzyme in enhancing the killer T cell's activity to initiate cancer cells apoptosis by killer T cells.
According to the Cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytometry assay, the application of Anise extract inhibited colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cells at concentrations of 0.5 and 1.0mg/ml. without causing harm to the neighbor's healthy cells
The above analysis was supported by the study evaluating the effect of the volatile preparations of essential oils of the Greek plants Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil), Mentha spicata (spearmint), Pimpinella anisum (anise), and Fortunella margarita (kumquat) on the model of human colon carcinoma.
Application of the herbal preparation expressed a significant activity in precipitated cytotoxicity effect in some infectious microorganisms associated with the facilitation of the early stage of colon cancer.
According to the DPPH and ABTS assay, the application of all herbal essential oils also increased the expression of antioxidants in decreased free radical expression in elevated cancer cells in cycle division.
Dr. Fitsiou E, the lead author said, "All essential oil preparations exhibited a variable degree of antiproliferative activity, depending on the cancer model used, with the most potent one being sweet basil against an in vitro model of human colon carcinoma".
The information findings suggested that Anise may be considered a functional herb for reduced risk, progression, and treatment of colon cancer. However, intake of Anise extract should be taken with care as some supplements have been found to induce acute liver toxicity.
