The book aimed to reveal degradation of Cucurbitacin E glucoside
obtained from Citrullus colocynthis (L.) (Hanzal) into Cucurbitacin
E and glucose by mean of microbial biotransformation using
Curvularia lunata NRRL 2178 as a source of -glucosidase. All the
instrumental data obtained by highly advanced techniques, confirmed
the microbial conversion of cucurbitacin E glucoside into
cucurbitacin E and glucose indicating effect of enzyme in the
hydrolysis process by splitting of glucose from the anomeric carbon
atom. The effect of the cucurbitacin E glucoside and cucurbitacin E
on the proliferation of Hep-G2 cells was studied. The treatment of
Hep-G2 cells with cucurbitacin E led to a high inhibition of the
cell proliferation, which revealed a moderate anti-tumor activity
of the cucurbitacin E against hepatic carcinoma, while cucurbitacin
E glucoside had no cytotoxic effect on Hep-G2 cells. The study
showed the effect of the compounds on the proliferation of HCT-116
cells; the two compounds were not cytotoxic as indicated by their
IC50 values. On the other hand, the treatment of T-lymphocyte cells
with cucurbitacin E resulted in increase in the cell
proliferation."
