Cytotoxicity and induction of G1 phase cell cycle arrest in human acute promyelocytic leukemia HL60 cells by indole alkaloids isolated from Dialium corbisieri seeds

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2023 Jul 24;87(8):825-832. doi: 10.1093/bbb/zbad067.

Abstract

The phytochemical investigation of Dialium corbisieri seeds led to the isolation of five monoterpenoid indole alkaloids along with a phytoserotonin, 1-6 and among the known compounds, the spectroscopic data of (5S)-methoxy-akuammiline (1) was reported for the first time. The structures were elucidated based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques such as ultraviolet, infrared, high-resolution electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and electron-capture dissociation spectrum calculations. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity and cell progression in the human acute promyelocytic leukemia HL60 cell line.

Keywords: Dialium corbisieri; G1-phase cell cycle arrest; HL60 cell line; cytotoxicity; indole alkaloids.
