Abstract
The invention relates to a novel method to isolate a natural product, a flavonoid namely inoscavin A from a Sri Lankan mushroom, medicinal preparation thereof to treat rhabdomyosarcoma cancer condition. This compound was isolated from the terrestrial basidiomycetefor the first time. The isolation method of the inoscavin A comprises the following steps of: (1) carrying out sonication extraction of pulverized specimen by methanol; (2) partitioning in to hexane, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate respectively by liquid-liquid extraction 3) fractionation using normal phase silica gel column chromatography 4) purification using preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to obtain flavonoid compound inoscavin A in substantially purified form (≥98%). In vitro cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated that the composition comprising inoscavin A strongly induced the apoptosis of human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells compared to the cytotoxicity produced on normal epithelial cells (CC-1). Therefore, isolated flavonoid compound can be used for manufacturing of a medicament to treat rhabdomyosarcoma cancer condition. A method of treating rhabdomyosarcoma using medicinal preparation comprising inoscavin A can be achieved by administering said composition to a subject in need of such treatment.
