The main aim of the study was to evaluate the bioactive properties of ethyl acetate crude extract of Streptomyces parvulus VITJS11 with a view to assess their therapeutic potential. The biological activity of ethyl acetate extract was tested against fungal and bacterial pathogens. The free radical scavenging potential of the crude extract was determined by DPPH assay. The chemo preventive properties of S. parvulus VITJS11 ethyl acetate extract was examined by MTT assay on HepG2 cells. The morphological, physiological and the biochemical properties of the strain S. parvulus VITJS11 was confirmed by conventional methods. Genotypic characterization was done using 16S r-DNA partial gene amplification and sequencing. The authenticity of the crude chemical constitutes were determined by the GC-MS. The ethyl acetate extract of VITJS11 showed maximum antifungal activity against three Aspergillus species and prominent antibacterial activity against two Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria at 20 mg/mL. The antioxidant potential of the crude extract exhibited strong reducing power activity at 5mg/ mL with 85% inhibition and the cytotoxic effect was found with IC50 of 500µg/ mL on HepG2 cell lines. The GC-MS analysis and the chromatogram patterns revealed 16 peaks, indicating the presence of bioactive constituents, which included several important organic compounds, namely 9-(2',2'-dimethylpropanoilhydrazono)-3,6-dichloro-2,7-Bis-[2-(diethylamino)-ethoxy]fluorine (23.1) Dotriacontylpentafluoropropionate,(25.0) Octadecanoic acid, (20.0); Trans-2-methyl-4-n-butylthiane, S, S-dioxide.(19.0). The results showed the benefit of ethyl acetate extract from S. parvulus VITJS11 in treating microbial infections and indicated their broad spectrum of activity with beneficial virtues for therapeutic use.
