Underground parts of three Valeriana species, namely V. officinalis L. s.l., V. wallichii DC. (V. jatamansi Jones), and V. edulis Nutt. ex Torr & Gray ssp. procera (H.B.K.) F. G. Meyer (V. mexicana DC.), are used in phytotherapy because of their mild sedative properties. Characteristic constituents of these species, which are regarded also as the active principles, were tested for cytotoxicity against GLC(4), a human small-cell lung cancer cell line, and against COLO 320, a human colorectal cancer cell line, using the microculture tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Valepotriates of the diene type (valtrate, isovaltrate and acevaltrate) displayed the highest cytotoxicity, with IC50 values of 1-6 μM, following continuous incubation. The monoene type valepotriates (didrovaltrate and isovaleroxyhydroxydidrovaltrate) were 2- to 3-fold less toxic. Baldrinal and homobaldrinal, decomposition products of valepotriates, were 10- to 30-fold less toxic than their parent compounds. Isovaltral had a higher cytotoxicity than its parent compound isovaltrate. Valerenic acids (valerenic acid, acetoxyvalerenic acid, hydroxyvalerenic acid and methyl valerenate), which are characteristic for V. officinalis, had a low toxicity with IC(50) values between 100 and 200 μM. Freshly prepared and stored tinctures, prepared from roots and rhizomes of the three valerian species, were analysed for valepotriates, baldrinals and valerenic acids, and also tested for cytotoxicity. There was a clear relationship between the valepotriate contents of the freshly prepared tinctures and their toxicity. Upon storage, valepotriates decomposed, which was reflected in a significant reduction of the cytotoxic effect. [1]

Cell Assay |
Cytotoxicity assay Cytotoxicity after treatment of the tumor cells with the test compounds or the tinctures was determined using the microculture tetrazolium (MTT) assay. This assay is based on the reduction of the soluble MIT [3-(4,5- dimethyIthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-di phenyltetrazoliumbromide] into a blue-purple formazan product, mainly by mitochondrial reductase activity inside living cells (Carmichael et aI., 1987). The number of cells was found to be proportional to the extent of formazan production for the cell lines used in this study. Concentrated stock solutions (200 x) of the test compounds were made in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO ) and stored at -20°C. The compounds were tested for cytotoxicity in concentrations up to 200 !AM. The tincture s were diluted with culture medium; the lowest dilution tested was 1:100. The small amount of DMSO or ethanol present in the wells (maximal 0.5%) was proved not to affect the experiments. Cisplatin (cis dichlorodiammine-platinum(II}}, used as a reference cytostatic drug, was dissolved in water immediately before use. The cytotoxicity assay was carried out as recently described (Middel et aI., 1995, Woerdenbag et aI., 1996). Briefly,tumor cells were incubated with a range of concentrations of test compounds in microtiter plates t 37°C in a humidified inicubator with 5% CO2 for a culture period of 4 days. After adding a solution of MIT (5 mg/ml in PBS (phosphate buffered saline)), the amount of formazan formed was measured spectroscopically' at 515 nm using a BioTek Instruments universal plate reader. Cell growth was calculated using the formula: [A515 (treated cells) - A515 (culture medium)] x 1001 [(A515 (control cells) - A515 (culture medium)]. The ICso value (concentration of the test compound or dilution of the tincture causing 50 % growth inhibition of the tumor cells) was used as a parameter for cytotoxicity.
