“…A wide array of biological activities have been reported from these compounds including antiproliferative (Chen et al, 2002;Zeng et al, 2012), antitubercular (Huang et al, 2008), antiinsectan (Findlay et al, 1997) and antimicrobial (Boonphong et al, 2007). Due of their potency in different assays, benzofurans and dihydrobenzofurans are often the targets of chemical synthesis (Richard et al, 2009;Silveira and Coelho, 2005).…”

Abstract. Cytotoxic effects of essential oils extracted from Dunaliella salina on SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were investigated in this study. GC-MS analysis was used for determination of the composition of essential oils found in Dunaliella salina extract. All experimented concentrations of Dunaliella salina extract on SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were significantly more cytotoxic than the tested concentrations of the extract on ECV304 human endothelial cells used as a control. Fifthy compounds were detected in GC-MS analysis of the extract, and five major compounds were predominantly found as follows: octadecanoic acid, methyl ester (27.43%); hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (Cas) methyl palmitate (24.82%); 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid, ethyl ester, (Z,Z,Z)-(7.39%); octadecanoic acid (5.03%), pentadecanoic acid (3.60%). The cytotoxic activity of Dunaliella salina extract on SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells might be due to high concentrations of octadecanoic acid and hexadecanoic acid. Furthermore, results indicate that the extract demonstrates some proliferative effect on ECV304 cells in a dose-dependent manner between 0.25 and 5 μg/ml. These results suggest that Dunaliella salina may have anticancer potential against human neuroblastoma cells.

Livistona chinensis, Saribus rotundifolius and Areca catechu are palms primarily cultivated for ornamental purposes and also utilized in herbal remedies. The chemical and biological studies were conducted using standard procedures. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, cardiac glycosides, terpenes, de-oxy sugars, anthraquinones, phenols, flavonoids and phlobatannins in varying amounts. The total phenolics content ranged from 52.0-245.0 mg/g, DPPH radical inhibition (87.30-90.55%, 2.0 mg/ml), iron chelating activity (27.3-65.0%, 0.5 mg/ml), hydrogen peroxide scavenging (93.18-98.46%, 0.5 mg/ml), and molybdate ion reduction capacity (15.93-58.30%, 0.5 mg/ml). L. chinensis extract showed notable antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis, P. aeruginosaand C. albicans (MIC = 75-100 µg/ml) while A. catechu and S. rotundifolius extracts were potent against all test pathogens (75-100 µg/ml), except S. typhi (150 µg/ml). However, no appreciable cytotoxic effects on human cervical (HeLa), lung (H460), breast (MCF-7) and prostate (PC-3) cancer cells at 30 µg/mL was observed for the extracts. The notable antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the palm extracts are a function of their inherent bioactive constituents and a potential source of medicinally useful compounds. The chemical and biological assessment of S. rotundifolius palm nuts is reported for the first time.
