description Prebiotics and probiotics have gained much attention in the pursuit of a healthy life. Recently, postbiotics have been spotlighted as next-generation compounds that can improve health. Postbiotics are designated into non-viable, inactivated, and ghost probiotics, and linked to several health benefits for the gut, immune system, and various other aspects of health. This study investigated the anti-proliferation effects of postbiotics against HT-29 cells, a colon cancer cell line. The postbiotics were produced by the ultrasonication method from two <i>Lactobacillus</i> strains (<i>Lactobacillus</i> sp. La1, and La2) and designated to Pobt-La1 and Pobt-La2, respectively, and non-viability was confirmed on the plate media. The anti-proliferation effect was concentration-dependent. The HT-29 cells showed viabilities of 39% and 49% when treated with 300 µL/mL of Pobt-La1 and Pobt-La2, respectively. During observation of the morphological changes of HT-29 cells when treated with IC50, a cell nucleus was not observed but cell condensation was observed. Moreover, in comparison with the control group, a reduced number of cells were observed. Based on these results, it considered that the postbiotic compounds from <i>Lactobacillus</i> La1 and La2 could provide crucial information in the development of anticancer research. Through further research, it would be beneficial to investigate the possibility of using these postbiotics (Pobt-La1 and -La2) as an anticancer drug.
