Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc is distributed throughout Asia and has traditionally been used as medicine and food. P. mume is known to contain large amounts of various organic acids, minerals, and phenol components. To date, the trend of P. mume research has focused only on the effects of antioxidant, anticancer and antibacterial, with only a few studies have focused on angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is a common characteristic of metastatic cancer through which oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the cells and tissues. In the present study, angiogenesis-inhibiting activity was investigated by evaluating the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the P. mume butanol fraction (PBF) and their ability to inhibit VEGF-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) proliferation, migration, invasion, and capillary formation. The polyphenols (12.81 mg GAE/g) and flavonoids (28.4 mg QE/g) of the PBF exhibited high antioxidant activity. The results of this study showed that PBF did not inhibit the proliferation of HUVECs at concentrations of 25-200 μg/ml and did not exhibit toxicity to normal cells. However, PBF inhibited the VEGF-induced mobility, invasion, and capillary formation of HUVECs. These results show that PBF inhibits the angiogenesis of HUVECs induced by VEGF. Therefore, PBF could serve as a therapeutic agent for the inhibition of angiogenesis.
