[ 1 ] - In vitro investigating of anticancer activity of focuxanthin from marine brown seaweed species

Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women all over the world. Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer medicines for treating cancer but it has many side effects and cells may become resistant to these chemical medicines. Therefore, finding new compounds of natural origin could be a promising solution to this problem. The aim of the current study was to evaluate anticancer activity ...

[ 2 ] - ارزیابی خطر بوم‌شناختی هیدروکربن‌های آروماتیک چند حلقه‌ای در رسوبات سطحی خلیج فارس، بوشهر

Background and Objective: This study conducted to assess ecological risk of an important group of pollutants called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in offshore sediment of the Persian Gulf deposits in Bushehr province. The aim of this study was to model the toxicity of PAHs for aquatic organisms in the study area. Materials and Methods: In the first step of the applied risk assessment ...

[ 3 ] - Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Offshore Surface Sediments of the Northern Persian Gulf, Bushehr Province

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are classified as an important category of semi-volatile and persistent organic pollutants. They cause environmental problems due to their toxicity and accumulation in sediments. In this research, offshore sediments of 19 stations in 8 transects of the Persian Gulf in Bushehr province were studied to assess the sources of PAHs. The extraction and clean up...

[ 4 ] - Seasonal variation of fucoxanthin content in four species of brown seaweeds from Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf and evaluation of their antibacterial and antioxidant activities

Fucoxanthin contents of four species of brown seaweeds (Dictyota indica, Padina tenuis, Colpomenia sinuosa and Iyengaria stellata) from intertidal zone of Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf were assessed in summer and winter of 2016. In addition, some physicochemical properties (pH, temperature, salinity and conductivity) of seawater were monitored on the same time. The antibacterial activity of algal ...
