Evaluation of Antioxidant Activity, Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of Eugenol in V79 cell line and Human Lymphocytes Respectively

Abstract

Eugenol (EUG) is a volatile phenolic constituent of clove essential oil obtained from Eugenia Caryophyllata buds and leaves. It has been used in pharmaceuti- cal, cosmetic, agriculture and food industry. The derivatives have been used in medicine as a local antiseptic and anesthetic. Although EUG is considered safe as a food additive, due to the vast range of different applications and extensive use, there has been a great concern about its toxicity in recent years. However, studies about cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of EUG are very limited. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro antioxidant activity and the cy- totoxicity of EUG on V79 cell line by the TEAC Assay and Neutral Red Uptake Assay (NRU). Our results demonstrated that EUG has antioxidant activity and cytotoxic effect in V79 cell line in a dose dependent manner. The IC50 value of EUG in V79 cell line was found to be 341.5 μM. The in vitro genotoxic effects of EUG are also studied on human peripheral lym- phocytes by Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (Comet) assay and micronucleus assay. Results show that EUG is potent to induce DNA damage at higher con- centrations when compared with untreated control cells. Our study also indicated that EUG is potent to protect cells against H2O2-induced oxidative DNA damage.
