Abstract

Primula
vulgaris
is a plant belonging to Primula
genus, and these species are often used in traditional therapy. Although there
are numerous studies on the antioxidant and cytotoxic effects of different Primula species, there are limited
studies of these properties of P.
vulgaris
extracts. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant
properties and cytotoxic effects of the extract prepared with dimethyl sulfoxide
from P. vulgaris flowers. The total
phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and reducing antioxidant power of
the extract were determined using spectrophotometric methods. The cytotoxic
effect of the extract on human colon (WiDr), lung (A549), liver (HepG2), breast
(MCF-7), and prostate (PC-3) cancer cells and a normal human fibroblast cell
line was assessed using the MTT assay. Total phenolic content and reducing
power values of extract were found 33.02±0.92 mg gallic acid equivalents, and
64.86±1.18 mg trolox equivalents per g sample, respectively. Extract exhibited
selective cytotoxic effect on all studied cancer cells compared to normal
fibroblast cells, and the IC50 values of the extract in the cancer
cell lines range from 191.8 to 375.3 μg/mL. This work is one of the pioneering
work that reveals the powerful antioxidant properties of P. vulgaris flower extract and its selective cytotoxic effect on
cancer cell lines. Further studies are needed to identify the active molecules
in the extract and the cytotoxic action mechanisms of these molecules.
