AB  - Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) has been very effective against glioblastoma invitro. Its application in vivo is hampered because it cannot pass the blood–brainbarrier (BBB). Significant research efforts are invested to overcome this limitation.Sclareol (SC) is an aromatic compound naturally found in clary sage. Thecombination of SC and DOX showed promising effects in different tumor types invitro and in vivo. Therefore, we tested their combination and innovative hybridmolecules (SC:DOX) on glioblastoma cells with the expression of P-glycoprotein, amajor component of BBB and cancer multidrug resistance marker. Methods:Cytotoxicity and selectivity towards glioblastoma cells of SC, DOX, theircombination, and SC:DOX were examined by MTT assay. The effect of SC on DOXaccumulation was determined by flow cytometry. We also studied SC:DOXaccumulation, cellular uptake, localization imaging, and DNA damage induction.Results: The effects of simultaneous SC and DOX treatments demonstrated theconsiderable potential of SC to reverse DOX resistance in glioblastoma cells andincrease DOX accumulation. SC:DOX hybrids, named CON1 and CON2 were lesscytotoxic than DOX, but with reduced resistance and increased selectivity towardsglioblastoma cells. Cellular uptake of CON1 and CON2 was increased in glioblastomacells compared to DOX. Perinuclear localization of CON1 and CON2 vs. nuclearlocalization of DOX as well as no DNA damaging effects suggest a differentmechanism of action for SC:DOX. Conclusion: The combination of SC and DOX, andtheir innovative hybrids, could be considered a promising strategy that can overcomethe limitations of DOX application in glioblastoma.

AB  - Medicinal plants are recognized from ancient times as a source of diverse therapeutic agents and many of them are used as dietary supplements. Comprehensive approaches are needed that would identify bioactive components with evident activity against specific indications and provide a better link between science (ethno-botany, chemistry, biology and pharmacology) and market Recently, the bark of black alder (Alnus glutinosa) appeared at market in the form of food supplement for treatment of different skin conditions. This study aimed to evaluate protective effects of two diarylheptanoids isolated from the bark of black alder: platyphylloside, 5(S)-1,7-di(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-heptanone-5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1) and its newly discovered analog 5(S)-1,7-di(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-O-beta-D-[6-(E-p-coumaroylglucopyranosyl)]heptane-3-one (2) towards doxorubicin damaging activity. To that end, we employed HaCaT cells, non-cancerous human keratinocytes commonly used for skin regenerative studies. Diarylheptanoids significantly antagonized the effects of doxorubicin by lowering the sensitivity of HaCaT cells to this drug. Compound 2 prevented doxorubicin-induced cell death by activating autophagy. Both land 2 protected HaCaT cells against doxorubicin-induced DNA damage. They significantly promoted migration and affected F-actin distribution. These results indicate that chemo-protective effects of diarylheptanoids may occur at multiple subcellular levels. Therefore, diarylheptanoids 1 and 2 could be considered as protective agents for non-cancerous dividing cells during chemotherapy.
