| Abstract | Part of quercetin is coerced into the colon after ingestion and interacts with the gut microbiota. The interaction between quercetin and gut microbiota will influence human health. The cytotoxicity of quercetin and its metabolites from human gut bacteria in vitro fermentation was investigated in this study. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide) (MTT) and agar diffusion disc methods were individually applied in vitro to examine their inhibitory effect on three cultured human cancer cells and five pathogenic bacteria species. The results showed that the metabolites from Clostridium perfringens and Bacteroides fragilis exerted a strong inhibitory effect (P < 0.05) on HCT-116 cells and that of Weissella confusa was stronger (P < 0.01) on both A549 cells and HeLa cells than on the others. Most metabolites have similar or decreased inhibitory ability on human cancer cells compared to quercetin itself. This inhibitory effect had not been detected in quercetin and its metabolites in five common pathogenic bacteria species. Quercetin is a potential chemopreventive agent. However, this study reported that some gut bacteria can improve their function of inhibiting cancer cells after fermenting quercetin. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
