Bryonolic acid (BrA) is a pentacyclic triterpene present in several plants used
in African traditional medicine such as Anisophyllea dichostyla R. Br. Here we
investigated the in vitro anticancer properties of BrA. We report that BrA
inhibits acyl-coA: cholesterol acyl transferase (ACAT) activity in rat liver
microsomes in a concentration-dependent manner, blocking the biosynthesis of the
cholesterol fatty acid ester tumour promoter. We next demonstrated that BrA
inhibits ACAT in intact cancer cells with an IC(50) of 12.6 ± 2.4 µM. BrA
inhibited both clonogenicity and invasiveness of several cancer cell lines,
establishing that BrA displays specific anticancer properties. BrA appears to be
more potent than the other pentacyclic triterpenes, betulinic acid and ursolic
acid studied under similar conditions. The inhibitory effect of BrA was reversed
by exogenous addition of cholesteryl oleate, showing that ACAT inhibition is
responsible for the anticancer effect of BrA. This report reveals new anticancer
properties for BrA.
