Published: April 2021

Phytochemical profiling was undertaken on the crude extracts of to determine the nature of the chemical constituents present. In total, three new flavonol diglycosides (-), one new flavan-3-ol glycoside (), and 12 previously reported compounds of the flavonol (, ), flavan-3-ol (), flavanone (), 1,4-napthoquinone (, , , ), 2,3-dehydroxynapthalene-1,4-dione (-), and phenolic acid () structure classes were isolated and identified. Compounds -, , , and were assessed for antimicrobial activity, with compounds , , , and showing significant activity. Compounds , , and were also evaluated for anthelmintic activity against larval forms of , with compound being active.

Role of Acorus calamus extract in reducing exosome secretion by targeting Rab27a and nSMase2: a therapeutic approach for breast cancer.

Mol Biol Rep

January 2025

Kusuma School of Biological Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi, 110016, India.

Background: Exosomes are extracellular vesicles released by cells that mediate intercellular communication and actively participate in cancer progression, metastasis, and regulation of immune response within the tumour microenvironment. Inhibiting exosome release from cancer cells could be employed as a therapeutic against cancer.

Methods And Results: In the present study, we have studied the effects of Acorus calamus in inhibiting exosome secretion via targetting Rab27a and neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) in HER2-positive (MDA-MB-453), hormone receptor-positive (MCF-7) and triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cells.
