Exposition of antitumour activity of a chemically characterized exopolysaccharide from a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum MTCC 9510

Abstract: As majority of chemical compounds identified as anti-cancerous are toxic to normal cells, the discovery and identification of new safe drugs is a necessity in the biomedical field. The antioxidant, antitumour and immunomodulating properties of an exopolysaccharide of sequence -α-d-glucose, α-d-mannose and β-d-glucose-, purified from a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum was studied. The immunostimulation of the compound in human lymphocytes was seen at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL with 20% proliferation rate. The antitumour studies by morphological apoptosis determination and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay on breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) exhibited an IC50 of 10 mg/mL for the compound.
