TL;DR: Results of the present study indicate that dietary caraway markedly inhibited DMH-induced colon carcinogenesis and the optimal dose of 60 mg/kg body weight was more effective than the other two doses.

Abstract: Colon cancer has become one of the major causes of cancer mortality. We determined the effect of caraway (Carum carvi L.) on the development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and modulation of fecal bacterial enzyme activities in 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced experimental rat colon carcinogenesis. Male Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups and all the animals were fed 15.8% peanut oil making a total of 20% fat in the diet. Group 1 served as control and group 2 animals received 90 mg/kg body weight caraway p.o. daily for 15 weeks. To induce ACF, DMH (20 mg/kg body weight) was injected subcutaneously once a week for the first four weeks (groups 3–6). In addition caraway was administered at the dose of 30, 60 and 90 mg/kg body weight everyday orally for the entire period of 15 weeks (groups 4–6). First, we analyzed ACF number (incidence), multiplicity and its distribution along the colon in all experimental groups at the end of 15 weeks. Subsequently, we also assayed the fecal bacterial enzyme activities. ACF formation and the fecal bacterial enzyme activities were found to be significantly high in DMH-alone treated group as compared to control group. Caraway supplementation at three different doses significantly suppressed ACF development, bacterial enzyme activities and modulated oxidative stress significantly as compared to the unsupplemented DMH-treated group. Results of our present study indicate that dietary caraway markedly inhibited DMH-induced colon carcinogenesis and the optimal dose of 60 mg/kg body weight was more effective than the other two doses.

Abstract: Young healthy cotyledon and leaf explants of Rhinacanthus nasutus (L.) Kurz. were incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0–5.0 mg/l 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) either alone or in combination with 0.3–1.5 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The optimum callus induction (100 %) was observed from cotyledon explants on MS medium supplemented with 4 mg/l 2, 4-D and 0.5 mg/l IBA. The friable, embryogenic callus when subcultured on half strength MS medium supplemented with IBA (3.0–5.0 mg/l) produced several somatic embryos at various stages of development (globular, heart, torpedo) after 45 days of culture. The highest frequency of callus embryogenesis was observed on ½MS medium supplemented with 4.0 mg/l IBA. Moreover, 47 % of incubated callus responded with a mean number of 16.3 somatic embryos per gram callus. For germination, somatic embryos at the torpedo stage were isolated and subcultured on ½MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l each of 6-benzyladenine and indole-3-acetic acid. After 45 days of culture, plantlets developed with mean lengths of 3.8 cm. Somatic embryos at the torpedo stage were collected and suspended in a matrix of MS medium containing sodium alginate (3 % W/V), dropped into 100 mM calcium chloride (CaCl2·2H2O) solution for the production of synthetic seeds. Optimum growth ability of synthetic seed was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/l gibberellic acid (GA3). Well developed healthy plantlets derived from somatic embryos and synthetic seeds were hardened and successfully transplanted to soil.
