Toxicity of secondary metabolites of .

In a previous study, was isolated and screened for antimicrobial activity. Many promising antibiotic candidates are not ultimately used because of toxicity. After screening secondary metabolites for antimicrobial activity, they were screened for cytotoxicity in the human HeLa cell line.

Time course study of secondary metabolite toxicity profile.

In previous studies was isolated and screened for antimicrobial activity. Further, secondary metabolites were isolated and screened for antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity . The current study determines if increased exposure of Hela cells to the secondary metabolites over time increases the cytotoxicity.

Antimicrobial activity of .

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest global challenges of the century. Many pathogens have become resistant to antibiotics due to human misuse and effective ones are in short supply. Discovering potential new antibiotic molecules may help to address the current antibiotic shortage.
