This book contains the abstracts of the papers presented at the National Conference on Biological, Biochemical, Biomedical, Bioenergy, and Environmental Biotechnology (NCB4EBT-2021) Organized by the Department of Biotechnology, National Institute of Technology Warangal, India held on 29–30 January 2021. This conference is the first of its kind organized by NIT-W which covered an array of interesting topics in biotechnology. This makes it a bit special as it brings together researchers from different disciplines of biotechnology, which in turn will also open new research and cooperation fields for them.
As number of cancer patients increasing, the number of chemotherapy treatments are also increasing. This analysis aims to provide a cutting-edge outline of the antineoplastic medications extracted from streptomyces. Streptomyces are the main source of antibiotic production. Antineoplastic medications moderate the pace of tumor development and postpone metastasis. The utilization and performance of the methods are discussed, with focus on the antineoplastic drugs. Streptomyces produces compounds and crude extracts which shows cytostatic reaction across different human cell lines like for breast carcinoma (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 cell lines), (HepG2 cell lines) hepatic carcinoma, (DU 145 cell lines) prostate cancer and more.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
