This study aimed to evaluate the potential of phytochemicals from two native UAE plant species, Arthrocnemum macrostachyum and Tamarix nilotica, as anti-cancer agents. The plant extracts were obtained using two methods, maceration, and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and were subsequently evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against three cancer cell lines: breast (MDA-MB-231), colon (HCT-116), and lung (A-549). Results suggest that: 1) MAE is more efficient than maceration in recovering metabolites from plant biomass based on measurements of total phenolic content, radical scavenging activity, and bioactivity of extracts based on in vitro cytotoxicity.

Article Synopsis
  • Four new compounds called crydensiones A‒D (1‒4) were discovered in the twigs and leaves of the plant Cryptocarya densiflora.
  • Their structures were identified using advanced methods like spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations, including electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
  • None of the isolated compounds showed significant cytotoxic effects against various cancer cell lines (colon, lung, and breast) in the tests conducted.
