N2 - Numerous natural substances have anti-cancer properties. Especially indigenous people use aqueous plant extracts for tea or ointments including Dioscorea sansibarensis Pax to treat various diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic and radiosensitizing potential of aqueous extracts from Dioscorea sansibarensis Pax collected from Kenya in a panel of HPV-negative and -positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells grown in three-dimensional laminin-rich extracellular matrix (3D lrECM). The results show cytotoxicity, radiosensitization and increased levels of residual double strand breaks (DBS) by Dioscorea sansibarensis Pax extracts in HPV-negative and -positive HNSCC models in a concentration- and cell model-dependent manner. Application of ROS scavengers indicated an association between ROS-induced DSB and radiosensitization through Dioscorea sansibarensis Pax pretreatment. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) based characterization of Dioscorea sansibarensis Pax identified the main components of the extract including camptothecin. Overall, Dioscorea sansibarensis Pax aqueous extracts alone and in combination with X-ray irradiation showed effective anticancer properties, which are worthy of further mechanistic investigation.
