RESUMEN

The trypanocidal activity of naturally occurring 6-(3,4-dihydroxystyryl)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrone (hispidin) prompted us to examine its cytotoxic activity toward normal and cancerous cells in culture. Hispidin synthesized in our laboratory to a high degree of purity (checked by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy) was shown to be cytotoxic (between 10(-3) mol/L and 10(-7) mol/L) toward normal human MRC-5 fibroblasts, human cancerous keratinocytes (SCL-1 cell line), and human cancerous pancreatic duct cells (Capan-1 cell line). Interestingly, addition of hispidin in three successive doses (between 10(-5) mol/L and 10(-7) mol/L) led to a 100-fold increase in activity with an enhanced activity on cancer cells compared to normal cells (50%). Synthetic hispidin was found to inhibit isoform beta of protein kinase C (IC50 of 2 x 10(-6) mol/L), but not E. coli and placental type XV alkaline phosphatases. The enhanced activity of hispidin toward the cancerous cell lines is discussed.
