Microbial Metabolite

In Vitro Violacein (0.25-3 µM; 24h; HCT116 and HT29 cells) possesses anticancer activity in both 2D and 3D cell models[1]. Violacein decreases RTKs expression and disturbs signaling pathways in CRC cells[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1]. Cell Line: HCT116 and HT29 (1.8 × 104 cells/well-100 µL) cells. Concentration: 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 µM. Incubation Time: 24h. Result: In the 2D culture model, the violacein treatment reduced the cell viability, since there was a decrease in formazan production in the HT29 and HCT116 cell lines. Moreover, HT29 was more sensitive to violacein, as evidenced by the IC50 value (0.6 μM) compared to HCT116 (1.2 μM).
