This study demonstrates that 3-epifriedelinol (EFD) isolated from Ipomoea batatas can inhibit prostate cancer cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. EFD shows good binding affinity with target proteins and reduces inflammation. It also exhibits favorable physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, making it a potential candidate for primary or adjuvant therapy against prostate cancer.
The pentacyclic triterpenoids (PTs) of plant origin are reputed to restrain prostate cancer (PCa) cell proliferation. This study aims to assess 3-epifriedelinol (EFD) isolated from aerial part of Ipomoea batatas against PCa and its potential mechanism, in vitro and in vivo. Molecular docking affirms good binding affinity of the compound with target proteins exhibiting binding energy of -7.9 Kcal/mol with BAX, -8.1 Kcal/mol (BCL-2), -1.9 Kcal/mol (NF-kappa B) and -8.5 Kcal/mol with P53. In the MTT assay, EFD treatment (3-50 mu M) showed a significant (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01) dose and time dependent drop in the proliferative graph of DU145 and PC3, and an upsurge in apoptotic cell population. EFD displayed substantial IC50 against DU145 (32.32 +/- 3.72 mu M) and PC3 (35.22 +/- 3.47 mu M). According to Western blots, EFD administration significantly enhanced the cleavage of caspases and PARP, elevated BAX and P53 and decreased BCL-2 and NF-kappa B expression, thereby triggering apoptosis in PCa cells. When male Sprague Dawley rats were intoxicated with Bisphenol A (BPA), an apparent increase in prostate mass (0.478 +/- 0.08 g) in comparison to control (0.385 +/- 0.03 g) indicates prostatitis. Multidose treatment of EFD (10 mg/kg) significantly reduced prostate size (0.404 +/- 0.05 g). EFD exhibited substantial curative potential in vivo, as hematological, hormonal and histopathological parameters have been significantly improved. Reduced peroxidation (TBARS), and suppression of inflammatory markers i.e., NO, IL-6 and TNF-alpha, signposts substantial antiinflammatory potential of the compound. Overall, EFD has shown better binding affinity with target molecules, acceptable ADMET profile, potent antiproliferative and apoptotic nature and significant reduction in inflamed prostate mass of rats. The present study demonstrates acceptable physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of the compound with excellent drugable nature, hence EFD in the form of standardized formulation can be developed as primary or adjuvant therapy against PCa and toxins-induced gonadotoxicity.
