This work focuses on the extraction of cynthichlorine from ascidian Cynthia savignyi, a molecule that has potential promise as an anticancer agent. The main objective was to optimize conditions and evaluate cytotoxic activity in tumor cell lines. Two methods, maceration Soxhlet extraction, were compared, with showing significantly higher yield (2.2 ± 0.2%) compared (1.0 0.2%). An optimization factors influencing performed using Box–Behnken method, temperature time have negative impact yield, optimal being below 25 °C those 12 h. Cytotoxic assessment revealed marked inhibition growth all tested lines (U87-MG, U2OS, NCI-N87, HCT116, A2780), IC50 values ranging 0.162 µg/mL U87-MG 0.576 NCI-N87. Finally, computational analysis showed exhibits high electronic stability notable affinity for some biological targets, including NM23-H2, suggesting its targeted therapy cancer treatment. These results pave way future studies therapeutic use cynthichlorine.
