| description | Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a major oral cancer, significantly challenges treatments and impacts patient quality of life; current therapies often cause severe side effects, highlighting the urgent need for gentler alternatives. Rice stands as one of the primary cereal grains providing the daily caloric intake for more than half of the global population. Extensive research has demonstrated the significant health benefits derived from rice, attributed to its abundance of bioactive compounds. This study endeavours to explore the potential cytotoxic effects of Bajong LN rice, a pigmented purple rice indigenous to Sarawak, on human squamous cell carcinoma, ORL-48 cells. Cells were cultured in complete DMEM/F-12 media and incubated under standard culture conditions. Upon reaching 80% confluency, the cells were treated to varied concentrations (ranging from 0 μg/ml to 2000 μg/ml) of Bajong LN rice methanol extract (BLN-ME) and cisplatin. Subsequently, the cells were incubated for 48 and 72 hours, and their cytotoxicity was assessed using the MTS assay. Results demonstrated that cisplatin inhibited ORL-48 cells with an IC50 of 7.483 μg/ml and 3.877 μg/ml; and an IC80 of 40.649 μg/ml; and 17.543 μg/ml for 48 and 72 hours, respectively. Correspondingly, BLN-ME exhibited a notable cytotoxic effect against ORL-48 cells at 48- and 72-hour intervals, with an IC50 of 354.4 μg/ml and 342.0 μg/ml; and an IC80 of 450.3 μg/ml and 423.63 μg/ml, respectively. The cytotoxic activity of BLN-ME against ORL-48 cells was observed in both a time and dose-dependent manner. Morphological analysis and the Trypan blue exclusion assay corroborated the MTS assay's findings. Our preliminary findings provide the first scientific evidence of the cytotoxic effect of BLN-ME specifically against human squamous cell carcinoma, ORL-48 cells. This study suggests the potential of BLN-ME as a promising anti-cancer agent, presenting opportunities for further investigation into its underlying cytotoxic mechanisms. |
