Abstract

The seaweed, as source of bio-active substances as well as food, has received much attention in recent years. This study was carried out to determine the cytotoxic and chemopreventive effects of Porphyra tenera (PT) and Enteromorpha linza (EL). The PT and EL extracts from methanol were fractionated to five different types, which are hexane, ethylether, ethylacetate, butanol and water. (omitted)
