Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer occurring in women after cervix cancer in Indonesia. Tumor metastasis is the major cause of mortality in breast cancer. For a tumor cell to metastasize effectively, it must induce angiogenesis. 17 β-estradiol has been shown to stimulate the proliferation and angiogenesis of breast cancer cells which express estrogen receptor (ER), T47D (human breast cancer cell line). In the present study Pentagamavunon-1 or PGV-1 [2,5-bis-(4’-hydroxy-3’,5’-dimethylbenzylidene)-cyclopentanone], an analogue of curcumin [1,7-bis-(4’-hydroxy-3’-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiena-3,5-dion], were tested on their cytotoxicity and suppression effect on angiogenic factors (i.e. VEGF and COX-2) on the breast cancer cell lines (T47D) induced by 17 β-estradiol 10-8 M. The results showed that PGV-1 performed cytotoxicity effect againts T47D cells with IC50 values 3,16 μM. This was more potent than curcumin (IC50 = 19,05 μM). PGV-1 5 μM and curcumin 20 μM decrease VEGF and COX-2 expression. These results suggest both compounds possessed antiangio-genic potensial.

Key words : PGV-1, curcumin, 17 β-estradiol, angiogenesis
