In vitro Studies on anticancer activity of fungal taxol against human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cells

摘要

Objective: To prove the anticancer activity of fungal taxol obtained from Pestalotiopsis pauciseta VM1 endophytic fungus of Tabebuia pentaphylla on human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay.record ethnobotanical information from a hill-dwelling aboriginal tribe of Odisha. Methods: Different concentrations of fungal taxol ranging from 100 μg to 700 μg were tested against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line showed significant decrease in the concentration of 350 μg. Results: This cell viability of control cells was consistently 85-90%, The cell shrinkage increased progressively. Conclusions: Thus, the fungal taxol isolated from Pestalotiopsis pauciseta VM1, exhibited a very high degree of in vitro cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cell line.
