Lichens are unique natural entities which have long been neglected for explorations in cancer therapy, despite their vast potential. Our present study aims to investigate the anti-cancer potential of a wild lichen <em>Parmelinella wallichiana</em>. The anti-proliferative efficacy of the lichen extracts were screened through MTT assay against a panel of cell lines and the potent hydroalcoholic extract was selected for further evaluation against the most sensitive lung-cancer cell line A549 by implementing a wide range of microscopic and flow cytometric applications. The observations suggest that the extract could selectively induce apoptosis by augmenting ROS and disrupting the mitochondrial membrane potentiality. It was also found that the lichen-induced apoptosis was regulated by two crucial tumor suppressor genes, <em>FOXO1</em>, and <em>p53</em>, along with cell cycle inhibitor <em>p21</em> which ultimately resulted in robust apoptosis through the up-regulation of pro-apoptotic <em>BAX</em> expression. Moreover, the extract also restricted the cancer progression by down-regulating the <em>PALLADIN</em> expression. Further, an LC-MS-based metabolomic profile highlighted a number of depsides, depsidones and dibenzofurans, which included atranorin, physodalic acid, salazinic acid, constictic acid and usnic acid. Then, an in silico docking with these lichen-derived metabolites against the PI3Kα receptor predicted these compounds has a binding affinity close to a standard PI3Kα inhibitor copanlisib.

The current study aims to explore <em>Withania somnifera</em> phyto-active principle anti-microbial, ant-neuropathic, and anti-inflammatory activities, and to modify these activities utilizing nano-cubosomes exploiting their mechanisms of action. Bio-guided fractionation technique was utilized, to identify the most phyto-active compound, using LC-MS-NMR online technique and biological models of diabetes, neuropathy, and inflammation. <em>In-vitro</em> antibacterial activity was also monitored. The HbA1c, <em>in-vivo</em> antioxidant (serum-catalase, TBARS, and GSH), serum insulin, and pro-inflammatory serum cytokines (TNF alpha, IL-six, and IL-ten) levels have been assessed to establish the anti-neuropathic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. The nano-cubosomal formulations (CUB 1–3) were utilized to improve the <em>W. somnifera</em> most active compound efficacy. <em>W. somnifera</em> has shown ten major peaks; coagulin Q (10.2 %), dihydrowithanolide A (2.4 %), dihydrowithaferin D (1.8 %), physagulin D (7.6 %), withanoside V (2.3 %), withanolide A (WDA, 10.3 %), withafrin A (4.9 %), withaferin D (7.7 %), withanone 9 (9.9 %), withanolide D (4.8 %). The bio-guided fractionation technique utilizing LC-MS-NMR technique has proved that withanolide A (WDA) is the most phyto-active compound in <em>W. somnifera</em>. The latter has shown better results than WDA, which might be due to other effective compounds in Ws. However, CUB 3 (WDA nano-cubosomes dispersion) has shown more prominent anti-diabetic, anti-neuropathic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial potentials than Ws and WDA. Thus, CUB 3 modified WDA activity, and improved its efficacy. The normalization of HbA1c levels, increased insulin secretagogue potential, and the amelioration of the oxidative-stress may be the underlying Ws, WDA, and CUB 3 antidiabetic neuropathy mechanism. Moreover, the Ws, WDA, and CUB 1–3 anti-inflammatory mechanism might be due to the amelioration of the pro-inflammatory serum cytokines (decreasing TNF alpha and IL-six levels and increasing IL-ten). Thus, CUB 3 might be a powerful tool in augmenting <em>Withania somnifera</em> activity as an oral drug-delivery system and improving its efficacy against neuropathy and inflammation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12147,"journal":{"name":"Fitoterapia","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 106196"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142105844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
