Plan: The present study has been undertaken to evaluate the in vitro anticancer activity of papain hydrolysates of Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) protein.

Preface: Oyster mushroom protein was isolated by phosphate buffer method and concentration of protein was found tobe 24mg/g of Oyster mushroom.

Methodology: The total protein was enzyme hydrolysed by papain (enzyme and substrate was added at a ratio of 1:5) In vitro anticancer activity was studied by Percentage cell inhibition in MCF-7 cellline using MTT assay.  In vitro percentage cell viability was tested in vero cell line.

Outcome: Papain hydrolysates was found to be having highest  percentage cell inhibition of 75.82% at 100 µg/ml, 89.83% at 500 µg/ml  concentration respectively in MCF-7 cell line. Papain hydrolysates were found to behaving highest percentage cell viability of 97.23% at 100 µg/ml and 83.72% at 500 µg/ml concentration respectively.

Key words: Oyster mushroom, anticancer activity, Papain hydrolysates, MTT assay, Percentage cell inhibition, Percentage cell viability.
