Overview

This analysis shows promising antitumor activity in Caco-2 and HepG-2 cells, indicating marine actinomycetes may be key in cancer treatment.

Key Points

  • Bioactive extracts significantly reduced cell viability to 24–37% in Caco-2 cells and 12–25% in HepG-2 cells.
  • The extracts exhibited IC50 values ranging from 1.72 to 3.53 µg/µL depending on the extract and cell type.
  • Western blot analysis revealed notable increases in the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and p53 protein expression in response to treatment.
  • These findings imply marine actinomycetes could be developed into effective antitumor agents targeting apoptosis pathways.
