Abstract

Lectins are substances provided by different organic sources that can have cytotoxic effects on certain cells; however, daily consumption in low concentrations does not cause any harm to the organism. The study aims to know the potential of lectins

present in the tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) as a possible vector for the treatment of different cancer cell lines, such as: lymphocytic leukemia cells, colon cells, breast cells and cervical cells. This literature review addresses different points of view from lectin extraction to in vitro studies, allowing to analyze the inhibition of cell growth in response to the antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity of lectins under different concentrations (0-control, 10, 25, 50 and 100 µg/ml). In addition, the possible affections produced in the cancer cells after treatment were considered, emphasizing the development of statistical data to know the post-treatment cell viability. The results were mostly positive and after analyzing the statistical data it was concluded that lectins can act in a versatile way in different cell lines, however, paradoxically, when different concentrations are applied, the results change and tend to lose their antagonistic effect, in such a way that treating cancer cells with lectins can lead to random results.
