Chemical Characterization of Bioactive Compounds in Extracts and Fractions from Muscle.

Marine organisms are a vital source of biologically active compounds. Organic extracts from the muscle of the Pacific white shrimp () have shown antiproliferative effects on tumor cells, including breast adenocarcinoma. This study aimed to analyze these extracts' composition and confirm their specificity for breast adenocarcinoma cells without harming normal cells.
