Lung cancer and matrix metalloproteinases inhibitors of polyphenols from Selaginella tamariscina with suppression activity of migration

Cancer metastasis has been a major impediment to effective cancer treatment and is the major cause of cancer-related death. Polyphenols compounds have been reported to possess anti-metastasis activity through their inhibitory activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In this paper, twelve polyphenols compounds, including three novel phenols, named selaphenins A–C (1–3), two known selaginellin derivatives (4 and 5), together with seven known biflavonoids (6–12) were isolated from the plant of Selaginella tamariscina. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses. Notably, polyphenols compound 10 suppressed the migration of A549 cells by primary targeting MMP-9. The antitumor activity of compound 10 was possibly due to the induction of cell apoptosis through intrinsic apoptosis pathways, accompanied by increasing the expression of Bax and caspase-3 in a dose-dependent manner. This study provides evidence that polyphenols analogues from S. tamariscina as inhibitors of MMP-9 exhibited potential migration inhibition activities.
