Cytotoxic effects of extracts obtained from plants of the Oleaceae family: bio-guided isolation and molecular docking of new secoiridoids from <i>Jasminum humile</i>

Abstract

CONTEXT: Traditionally, Oleaceae plants are used to treat many diseases, such as rheumatism, hypercholesterolaemia, or ulcers. OBJECTIVES: L. (Oleaceae) extracts against selected human cancer cells lines, followed by a phytochemical investigation of the most potent one. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ). Structures were unambiguously elucidated using 1D/2D NMR and ESI-HRMS. Isolated compounds were assessed for their anti-proliferative potential, and both selectivity index and statistical significance were determined. Molecular docking was conducted against the Mcl-1 receptor using (AZD5991) as a standard. RESULTS: exhibited the highest selectivity index towards MCF-7 and THP-1, even greater than doxorubicin. Molecular docking results were in full agreement with the MTT assay and the proposed SAR. CONCLUSION: ) as a lead anticancer drug for further future investigation.
