Abstract:

With monoamine oxidase (MAO) as the target, the inhibitories activities of the methanol-ethyl acetate (1:1, V/V) extracts from the broth and mycelia of Paecilomyces cicadae RCEF0947 were investigated. It was found that the broth extract had good inhibitory activity against MAO-A, and the IC50 was 272.97 μg/ml; while for MAO-B, when the reaction concentration of sample was 400 mg/ml, both the extracts from broth and mycelia of RCEF0947 showed strong inhibitory activity with the IC50 of 538.37μg/ml and 509.36 μg/ml (no significant difference between them, p > 0.05), respectively. Meanwhile, a Resazurin cytotoxity assay model of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) was employed to study the anti-tumor activity of extracts from the strain RCEF0947. The results revealed that both the extracts from broth and mycelia of RCEF0947 had strong anti-tumor activity with IC50 of 122.35μg/ml and 171.93μg/ml, respectively.

Key words: Paecilomyces cicadae, extract, monoamine oxidase (MAO), anti-tumor
