Abstract:

In the present study, chitin and chitosan preparation from shrimp shells Penaeus mondon and its ovarian cancer cell line (PA-1). FTIR spectrum sharp absorption peak at 1655cm-1 is assigned to ketone C=O (α) unsaturated with chitosan. X-ray diffraction showed the presence of chitin and chitosan were strongest peak at 18.91° (β) and 29.75° (α) characters. SEM observations of chitin and chitosan surface morphologies of P. monodon showed that microfibril and porous structures. Anticancer activity of chitin and chitosan against human ovarian cancer cell line showed that chitosan an exhibited notable higher activity than chitin. Anticancer activity of aquacultural waste of shrimp shells mediated chitosan, which was proved to be good novel pharmaceutical industries.
