Local fishes in Malaysia including Channa species, particularly Channa striatus (haruan) have been traditionally used for wound healing and reducing pain. For that reason, this study was carried out to determine the Channa species water extract physico-chemical and its bioactivity on human foetal lung cell (IMR-90). Channa striatus (haruan) was used in this study. The sample was trimmed carefully to obtain the maximum fish fillet and extracted by using normal soaking extraction method (fish weight-to-solvent ratio = 1:4) as to procure the haruan aqueous extract. The extract was characterized for its physico-chemical properties such as pH, moisture content, rheological properties (n = 3), amino acid composition and fatty acid determination (arachidonic acid) (n = 2). The effective concentration (EC50) of the extract was conducted via 2-dimensional (2-D) culturing system on a normal human fibroblast cell (IMR90). The essential fish’s essence physical properties are as followed: 1) pH - 6.34 ± 0.01, 2) 97.3 ± 0.15% of moisture content, 3) total dissolved solid - 2.7 ± 0.01 (%, w/w) and 3) viscosity of 1.50 ± 0.31 mPa.s. The extract contained essential amino acid, glycine and fatty acid (arachidonic acid), which could aid in the process of wound healing despite their low concentration. However, the presence of those compounds have shown insignificant growth as compared to the control (without treatment) (p>0.05). Moreover, the immobile and irresponsive IMR90 growth rate on different extract concentrations was consistent with the absence of mortality throughout the 3-day incubation period (p>0.05). For that reason, the extract EC50 values could not be determined conceivably due to the high fish weight-to-solvent ratio which eventually deliver extremely low concentration of bio-active compounds for the cell-induced proliferation.
