Anticancer Activity Assay of Nano-Fractional Compounds that Purified from Soil Actinomycetes

Abstract

Background and objectives: Cancer remains a global problem of health, and has been recorded as one of the causes of death after heart disease Natural products from plants, the environment and microorganisms are leveraged for the purpose of fighting cancer. Actinobacteria have been recognized as main sources of bioactive natural products as early as in the 1950s, for which about half of the secondary metabolites revealed, including enzymes, antibiotics, immunosuppressive, and anti-tumour agents Materials and methods:The methods of this study included isolated and identification of bacteria from soil samples and identified by morphology characters and biochemical test. Subjected extract of actinomycetes to HPLC purification then collected purified fractions then analyzed by GC-mass. After the fractions were mixed with liposome nanoparticals which tested activity on HT29 colon cancer cell line. Results: The results of identification of bacterial isolates showed the colonies growing on a SNA medium were morphologically identified where the colonies were well-growth and had a gray color, not producing dyes in the medium. The results of the biochemical tests indicated that isolates were amylase, catalase, and gelatinase producing isolates and non-lipase producing, non H2S production and consuming urea, while the carbon consumption test indicated the isolates' ability to consume starch, glucose and sucrose respectively. While The results of preparative HPLC revealed that 4 fractions analytical HPLC with (50 % HPLC-grade acetonitrile) at 254 nm and cycling up was employed to increase the separation efficiency. The chemical composition of the HPLC fractions using GC-MS showed the identification of many components example ( Hexadeconic acid , Octadecanoic acid,ethyl ester and Fumaric acid). The results of In vitro anti-tumor cytotoxicity showed that all four nano purified fractions were applied on HT 29 colon cancer cells and exhibited significantly differences compared with control.
