Abstract
The biological diversity of the marine atmosphere is immense and therefore is an astonishing resource for the anticancer and new drug discovery. Modern technological and methodological developments in isolation, purification and structure elucidation of toxins and cyclic peptides have been evaluated for various novel anticancer screening. In this chapter, the cytotoxicity of the PSG toxin against breast cancer cell lines is examined using the MTT assay. The PSG toxin of selected cuttlefish exhibits highest cytotoxicity against the MCF-7 breast cancer cells (IC50–10.64 μM). Zebrafish xenograft is the topmost model for drug screening in the arena of cancer research and preclinical study. The zebrafish xenotransplantation model is a distinctive and less cost-effective tool for the investigation of cancer cell biology.
