: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anticoagulant activity of five marine algae from Bejaia’s coast (Algeria). Higher contents of phenolic compounds were obtained with ethanol for Cystoseira humilis, Halopteris scoparia, Padina pavonica and Rhodomela confervoides (8.55±0.29, 7.84±0.47, 6.41±0.14 and 4.16±0.04 mg CE/g of dw, respectively). Whereas, for Sargassum vulgare, the extraction with acetone showed higher content (3.04±0.071 mg CE/g of dw).The determination of sugar content showed that acetone extract of the five seaweeds was the richest in sugar, this rate increasingly dropped in ethanol extract and the fractions A and B. The red algae Rhodomela confervoides showed a significant anticoagulant activity in ethanol extract and the fractions A, B and C, with an elongation up to 407.97±58.12 s in the fraction C, at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. An anticoagulant activity was observed in the fractions A, B and C of all the brown seaweeds. A procoagulant activity was observed in the fractions A, B of Cystoseira humilis and Sargassum vulgare as well as the fraction B of Padina pavonica with an indeterminate period, at 10 mg/mL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
