Cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects of the expression of interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were evaluated on human cervical cancer (HeLa) and murine fibroblast (L929) cells. The composition was evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography diode-array detection and high-performance liquid chromatography ultraviolet/visible detection. The presence of ursolic acid and rosmarinic acid was found in both solvents. However, gallic acid, quercetin, and epicatechin were higher in isopropanol extracts (P < .05). The results indicated a relationship among the total polyphenol content, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxic activity that was dependent on the solvent used. Isopropanol extracts presented a half-maximal inhibition concentration value (IC50) of 60.48 + 3.8 mg/mL for HeLa cells and 66.62 + 2.67 mg/mL for L929 fibroblasts. The extracts reduced the release of interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and MCP-1 in a dose-dependent manner. Extracts showed anticancer and immunomodulatory potential for new complementary pharmaceutical products development.}, publisher = {Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine}, keywords = {Cytotoxicity}, keywords = {Immunomodulatory}, keywords = {Antioxidants}, title = {Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Potential Activity of Physalis peruviana Fruit Extracts on Cervical Cancer (HeLa) and Fibroblast (L929) Cells}, doi = {10.1177/2156587217718751}, author = {Mier Giraldo, Helen and Díaz Barrera, Luis Eduardo and Delgado Murcia, Lucy Gabriela and Valero Valdivieso, Manuel Fernando and Cáez Ramírez, Gabriela Rabe}, }
