Antioxidants and Anticancer Activity of Certain Algae and Their Role in Sustainability
This study examined the potential of various Egyptian marine algae as sources of antioxidant and anticancer compounds, offering a sustainable and less toxic alternative to conventional cancer treatments. It addressed the global public health burden of cancer and the limitations of current therapies, highlighting the urgent need for safe, effective, and affordable options derived from natural products. The research outlined the extraction process of bioactive compounds from five types of algae using both methanol and ethyl acetate solvents. These extracts were tested for their efficacy against several human cancer cell lines, as well as for their antioxidant activity. The results reveal that different algal extracts exhibit varying levels of potency against specific cancer cells and demonstrate significant antioxidant capacity, suggesting strong potential for future pharmaceutical development.
