    1 - Antioxidant properties and anticancer activity of Olea europaea L. olive and Ficus carica fruit extracts against pancreatic cancer cell lines

    Olea europaea (OFE) and Ficus carica (FFE) extracts have shown anticancer activity. In the currents report, we aim to evaluate the phytochemical composition, antioxidant properties and anticancer activity of OFE and FFE against PANC-1 and AsPC-1 pancreatic cancer cell lines. OFE possessed higher phenolic, flavonoid content and antioxidant ability than FFE. OFE and FFE induced a cytotoxic effect and their combination resulted in an increased cytotoxicity. OFE showed an antiproliferative effect while FFE had no effect. Combination of the two extracts resulted in an antiproliferative effect similar to that of OFE. OFE showed an antimigratory effect, while FFE exhibited a promigratory effect. Interestingly, combination of the two extracts resulted in an anti-migratory effect similar to that caused by OFE. In view of the findings of this study, these extracts could be considered potential sources of natural compounds with antioxidant and anti-pancreatic cancer effects. The combination of these extracts should be further investigated in the context of pancreatic cancer. Manuscript profile
