摘要
Objective:To investigate the antioxidant activity of marine actinobacteria.Methods:The content of total phenolics,the level of antioxidant potential by DPPH radical scavenging activity,metal chelating activity,FRAP method,βcarotene assay and NO scavenging activity in extract were determined.Results:In all the methods the extract exhibited good scavenging activity except NO scavenging activity.The IC<sub>50</sub> values of marine actinobacteria extract on DPPH radical were found to be 41.09μg/mL.The zone of color retention was 12 mm inβ-carotene bleaching assay. DNA protective efficiency of the extracts was also studied using UV- photolysed H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-driven oxidative damage to pBR322.HPLC analysis identified some of the major phenolic compounds in extracts,which might he responsible for the antioxidant potential and cyto-protection.It showed a 100%cytotoxic effect in brine shrimp lethality assay within 10 mins.The novel actinobacteria was identified as Streptomyces LK-3（JF710608） through I6S rDNA Sequencing.Conclusions:The results obtained suggest that the extracts bear anti-cancer metabolites and could be considered as a potential source for anti-cancer drug development.
