Abstract
In this study, the oil was extracted from depot fat of Naja kaouthia, a cobra snake. The oil components were detected by GC-MS which showed 26.29% of saturated fatty acid, 31.42% of monounsaturated fatty acid and 23.74% of polyunsaturated fatty acid. The dominant components were Palmitic acid (17.47%), Vaccenic acid (22.98%) and Linoleic acid (16.80%). Biological functions of cobra oil were investigated for anti-oxidant and anti-cancer cells. Various concentrations of cobra oil (20%, 10%, 5%, 2.5% and 1.25%; v/v) could inhibit free radical scavenging by DPPH method 88.11%±1.62%, 54.84%±2.63%, 35.10%±6.41%, 14.61%±2.37% and 6.01%±3.41% respectively. In addition, KATO-III, HepG2 and SW620 cells undergo cytotoxic activity by cobra oil for 24, 48 and 72 h detected following MTT assay. As a great IC50 of cobra oil on KATO-III, HepG2 and SW620 were 1.63% ± 0.08% (at 72 h), 1.67% ± 0.22% (at 48 h) and 1.67% ± 0.43% (at 48 h), respectively.
Keywords: Anticancer, Antioxidant, Cobra oil, Fatty acid profile, Natural product.
