This study evaluated the antitumor efficacy of APAN and its protective effect against etoposide-triggered hepatic disorders in Ehrlich solid tumor (EST)-bearing female mice. APAN showed ameliorative activity against EST and hepatic toxicity. The combined treatment of APAN with etoposide had the greatest improvement.
The study evaluated the antitumor efficacy of APAN, synthesized indoloquinoline analog derived from the parent neocryptolepine isolated from the roots of Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, versus the chemotherapeutic drug etoposide (ETO) in Ehrlich solid tumor (EST)-bearing female mice as well as its protective effect against etoposide-triggered hepatic disorders. APAN showed an ameliorative activity against Ehrlich solid tumor and hepatic toxicity, and the greatest improvement was found in the combined treatment of APAN with ETO. The results indicated that EST altered the levels of tumor markers (AFP, CEA, and anti-dsDNA) and liver biomarker function (ALT, AST, ALP, ALB, and T. protein). Furthermore, EST elevated CD68 and anti-survivin proteins immuno-expressions in the solid tumor and liver tissue. Molecular docking studies were demonstrated to investigate their affinity for both TNF-a and topoisomerase II as target proteins, as etoposide is based on the inhibition of topoisomerase II, and TNF-a is quite highly expressed in the solid tumor and liver tissues of EST-bearing animals, which prompted the authors' interest to explore APAN affinity to its binding site. Treatment of mice bearing EST with APAN and ETO nearly regularized serum levels of the altered parameters and ameliorated the impact of EST on the tissue structure of the liver better than that by treatment with each of them separately.
