Effect of different solvents on nisin ZP potential as anticancer agent against MG-63 osteosarcoma cells
Nisin, a known food preservative, has antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Nisin is a polycyclic polypeptide with five internal rings; a feature that strongly influence the choice of solvent to attain effectivity of the compound for all cell culture experiments. Previous studies used a number of...

Nisin, a known food preservative, has antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Nisin is a polycyclic polypeptide with five internal rings; a feature that strongly influence the choice of solvent to attain effectivity of the compound for all cell culture experiments. Previous studies used a number of solvents but comparison between these to identify the best solvent have not been reported.
