We assessed the antioxidant activity of crude extracts from 24 rhodophyte species from Brittany coasts using three complementary methods (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl, reducing activity, and b-carotene-linoleic acid system). We also examined phenolic contents. Cytotoxic activities were determined with three different cancer cell lines. Four species (Aglaothamnion pseudobyssoides, Furcellaria fastigiata, Polysiphonia lanosa, and Heterosiphonia plumosa) had high antioxidant activity and high…

Phytochemical Profiling of Microalgae Euglena tuba and Its Anticancer Activity in Dalton's Lymphoma Cells.

The findings of this study clearly indicated that the anticancer property of ETME was mediated via reduction in mitochondrial potential and induction of apoptotic mechanism, and further studies are warranted to explore the anticancers activities of active ingredients present in this microalga of pharmaceutical importance.

Screening of proteins based on macro-algae from West Java coast in Indonesian marine as a potential anti-aging agent

Screening and extracting of aqueous tropical marine alga protein as a potential source for an antioxidant agent has been done by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging method, and protein contents have been determined by Lowry method.

Molecular Diversity and Biochemical Content in Two Invasive Alien Species: Looking for Chemical Similarities and Bioactivities

The biochemical composition, molecular diversity, and two different bioactivities of Asparagopsis armata and Rugulopteryx okamurae were analyzed and can help to counteract the environmental effects of the bioinvasions.

Antioxidative and antimicrobial activities of intertidal seaweeds and possible effects of abiotic factors on these bioactivities

An effect of abiotic factors on the antioxidative and antimicrobial activities of intertidal seaweeds in the wild is suggested, and may allow for selective gathering high-activity species in terms of algal species and local environmental conditions.
