Phytol induces ROS mediated apoptosis by induction of caspase 9 and 3 through activation of TRAIL, FAS and TNF receptors and inhibits tumor progression factor Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase in lung carcinoma cell line (A549).

A number of drugs as well as lead molecules are isolated from natural sources. Phytol is one of such lead molecule belongs to terpenes group distributed widely in medicinal plants. In the present work, we investigated the cytotoxic behavior of phytol on human lung carcinoma cells (A549). Phytol was found to cause characteristic apoptotic morphological changes and generation of ROS in A549 cells. The mechanism of phytol involved the activation of TRAIL, FAS and TNF-α receptors along with caspase 9 and 3. In silico molecular docking studies revealed that phytol has a good binding affinity with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), which is known to promote tumor proliferation. The ability of phytol to become potential drug candidate has been revealed from the pharmacokinetic study performed in the present study.
