Studysummary This study found that compounds isolated from the Etlingera alba rhizome exhibited cytotoxic and anti-metastatic activity, with potential for development against Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The study investigated the anticancer properties of chemical constituents from Etlingera alba rhizome extract against Triple Negative Breast Cancer. The compounds 1,7-diphenyl-6-heptene-3-one, sitostenone, sinapyl alcohol diacetate, and sinapyl alcohol acetate showed cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 134.59, 170, 128.11, and 161.96 μg/mL, respectively. Sitostenone demonstrated the most significant anti-migration activity with a migration rate of 3.32% at 200 μg/mL. Additionally, these compounds effectively stabilized the Matrix metalloproteinase 1 complex, with sitostenone having the lowest free bond energy of -11.81 kcal/mol. The findings suggested that isolates from EA rhizomes could be developed as anti-metastatic agents for treating Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
