Abstract

Scenedesmus spp. were cultured for 51 days in newly developed medium, KEP I (Kim and Ecopeace: initials of corresponding author and environmental company) made with Bacterio-Mineral-Water (3%, v/v) that had been bio-reacted with swine urine medium to 10% (v/v) Bold's Basal medium, and investigated for cancer chemopreventive potential by measuring the induction of quinone reductase (QR), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and reduced glutathione (GSH), and inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 activity. The activitives of QR and GST of Scenedesmus spp. cultured in KEP I medium were increased by 3.0-fold and 1.5-fold, respectively. However, Scenedesmus spp. cultured in control medium (CT) increased the activitives of QR and GST by 1.8-fold and 1.3-fold, respectively. Scenedesmus spp. in KEP I medium strongly inhibited CYP 1Al activity. These results show that Scenedesmus spp. in KEP I medium has cancer chemopreventive potential and may be a candidate for further development as a chemopreventive agent.
