Characterization Of Astaxanthinrich Xanthophyllomyces Dendrorhous Extract From A Hyperproducing Mutant And Its Effects On Breast Cancer Cells

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with multiple health benefits including antioxidant and anticancer properties. An astaxanthin-hyperproducing X. dendrorhous mutant was generated due to the growing preference for natural pigment. This work aimed to study the astaxanthin-rich X. dendrorhous extracts and...

This work aimed to study the astaxanthin-rich X. dendrorhous extracts and its effect on MCF-7 and MDA-MB- 231 cells.

Wild type and mutant astaxanthin extracts exhibit growth-inhibitory effect in dosedependent manner in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Mutant astaxanthin extract showed a lower IC50 than wild type extract and was more effective in inhibiting both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The IC50 values of wild type and mutant astaxanthin extracts did not exceed the required upper limit of 30 μg/ml. 2022-12 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/59551/ http://eprints.usm.my/59551/1/24%20Pages%20from%20KHAW%20SHIN%20YUAN.pdf application/pdf en public masters Perpustakaan Hamzah Sendut Institut Penyelidikan Perubatan Molekul
