Unveiling the cytotoxicity of Red Sea <i>Moorena producens via</i> LC-QTOF-MS/MS chemical profiling, network pharmacology, and molecular docking.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Breast and liver cancers remain significant global health challenges, necessitating the discovery of novel anticancer agents. Marine cyanobacteria, such as Moorena producens belonging to the family: Oscillatoriaceae, are rich sources of bioactive compounds with potential anticancer properties.

Objective

This study aims to identify and characterize bioactive compounds from M. producens and evaluate their anticancer activity against breast and liver cancer cell lines.

Materials and methods

M. producens was collected and authenticated using 16S rRNA sequencing. The ethanolic extract was analyzed using LC-QTOF-MS/MS to identify the potential bioactive metabolites. Network pharmacology analysis was employed to predict the potential targets of t
