The main aim of the study was to evaluate the bioactive properties of ethyl acetate crude extract of Streptomyces sp. VITASP with a view to assess their therapeutic potential. The morphological, physiological and the biochemical properties of the strain Streptomyces sp. VITASP were confirmed by conventional methods. The present study evaluated the antibacterial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. The isolate was identified to be Streptomyces sp. (Genbank accession number: KR233807). The ethyl acetate extract of Streptomyces sp. VITASP showed maximum antibacterial activity of two Gram- positive and Gram- negative bacteria at 0.5mg/mL. The antioxidant potential of the crude extract exhibited strong reducing power activity at 0.5 mg/mL with 93±0.05% inhibition. The antiinflammatory and anti-diabetic properties were identified at 0.5 mg/mL concentration. The cytotoxic effect was found with an IC50 of 500μg/ mL on HeLa cell lines. The GC-MS analysis and the chromatogram patterns revealed major peak at 18.485 which corresponds to Pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione, Hexahydro-3-(2-methylpropyl. IR spectra showed the functional groups. HPLC Retention time of the peak was found to be 2.414 min. This work demonstrates that the extract should be considered as a useful source as an antioxidant and antimicrobial agent and gives further insight into the potential use of the compounds as drugs for various other bioactivities.
