dc.description.abstractThe aerial parts of Pituranthos tortuosus (Desf.) Benth and Hook (Apiaceae), growing wild in Egypt, yielded 0.8%, 0.6%, and 1.5% (v/w) of essential oil when prepared by hydrodistillation (HD), simultaneous hydrodistillation-solvent (n-pentane) extraction (Lickens- Nickerson, DE), and conventional volatile solvent extraction (preparation of the “absolute”, SE), respectively. GC-MS analysis showed that the major components in the HD sample were β-myrcene (18.81%), sabinene (18.49%), trans-iso-elemicin (12.90%), and terpinen- 4-ol (8.09%); those predominent in the DE sample were terpinen-4-ol (29.65%), sabinene (7.38%), γ-terpinene (7.27%), and β-myrcene (5.53%); while the prominent ones in the SE sample were terpinen-4-ol (15.40%), dill apiol (7.90%), and allo-ocimene (4E,6Z) (6.00%). The oil prepared in each case was tested for its cytotoxic activity on three human cancer cell lines, i.e. liver cancer cell line (HEPG2), colon cancer cell line (HCT116), and breast cancer cell line (MCF7). The DE sample showed the most potent activity against the three human cancer cell lines (with IC50 values of 1.67, 1.34, and 3.38 μg/ml against the liver, colon, and breast cancer cell lines, respectively). Terpinen-4-ol, sabinene, γ-terpinene, and β-myrcene were isolated from the DE sample and subjected to a similar evaluation of cytotoxic potency; signifi cant activity was observed.en_US
