The Anticancer Effects of Sargassum Boveanum Hydroalcoholic Extract in Human Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines

Gongronema latifolium (GL) is reported to have hepato-protective and nephron-protective ability. Diabetes associated with liver kidney damage. This work was designed evaluate the effect of ethanolic leaf extract on functions in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. 40 Wistar rats both sexes (150g-200g) were divided into five (n=8). Group 1- normal control (received saline placebo orally). 2 rec...

Blooms and coastal inundations of pelagic Sargassum have caused major problems to communities ecosystems throughout the tropical Atlantic over past decade. Understanding growth, movement, mortality is essential being able predict mitigate these events. In principle, cyclones that occur in this area could an impact on all three processes. a recent article, Sosa-Gutierrez et al. (2022, https://do...

A phytochemical investigation of a southern Australian marine brown alga, Sargassum paradoxum, resulted in the isolation and identification of four new (5, 9, 10, and 15) and nine previously reported (1, 2, 6-8, and 11-14) bioactive meroditerpenoids. HPLC-NMR and HPLC-MS were central to the identification of a new unstable compound, sargahydroquinal (9), and pivotal in the deconvolution of eigh...

Seaweed cultivation is a high growth industry that is primarily targeted at human food and hydrocolloid markets. However, seaweed biomass also offers a feedstock for the production of nutrient-rich biochar for soil amelioration. We provide the first data of biochar yield and characteristics from intensively cultivated seaweeds (Saccharina, Undaria and Sargassum--brown seaweeds, and Gracilaria, ...

Sargassum is a brown macroalga that has become general environmental problem in the Mexican Caribbean. Despite negative effects on beaches, algae contain compounds of biotechnological and agronomic interest. The possibility using sargassum as substrate under liquid media fermentation (LMF) processes will allow obtention bioactive compounds. In this research, five species from Puerto Morelos reg...
