“…kjellmanianum, laminaria angustata and L. an· gustata var. Several reports have been made on the antitumor activity of marine algae (Belkin et al 1959, Jolles et al 1963, Hirase and Watanabe 1971, Nakazawaef ö/. We also demonstrated that a partially purified polysaccharide fraction prepared from S. fulvellum, the active component of which was suggested to be either a sulphated peptidoglycuronoglycan or a sulphated glycuronoglycan, was effective against sarcoma-180 (Yamamoto et al 1977) and that a partially purified polysaccharide fraction obtained from L. angustata var.…”

“…porphyran from Porphyra and carrageenans from Eucheuma, also display antitumor properties as do brown algal polysaccharides from Sargassaceae and Laminariaceae (this study; Yamamoto et al, 1974 ;Ito & Sigiura, 1976 ;Takahashi, 1983 ;Usui et al, 1980 ;Yamamoto et al, 1982Yamamoto et al, , 1984aYamamoto et al, , 1984b . In particular, the ester sulfates of the polysaccharides may be related to the antitumor activity (Jolles et al ., 1962 ;Yamamoto et al, 1984b ;Yamamoto & Maruyama, 1985) . This assumption could be supported, in part, by our results, but it does not explain the low but positive effect of alginates .…”

Powdered tissue from 46 species of air-dried marine algae (four green, 21 brown and 21 red algae) were screened for antitumor activity . Significant activity against Ehrlich carcinoma was found in the brown algae Scytosiphon lomentaria (69.8 % inhibition), Lessonia nigrescens (60 .0 %), Laminaria japonica (57.6 %), Sargassum ringgoldianum (46.5%), the red algae Porphyra yezoensis (53 .2%) and Eucheuma gelatinae (52.1 %) and the green alga Enteromorpha prolifera (51 .7 %) . Five brown and four red algae showed appreciable antitumor activity against Meth-A fibrosarcoma . To identify specific molecules with antitumor activity, 15 kinds of polysaccharide preparations of seaweed origin and 24 kinds of lipid fractions extracted from various seaweeds were tested . Appreciable inhibition of Ehrlich carcinoma was found for fucoidan preparations from Undaria pinnatifida and Sargassum ringgoldianum, for carrageenans and for porphyran . Several glycolipid and phospholipid fractions from brown and red algae were effective against Meth-A fibrosarcoma.

89 samples (82 species) of marine algae of French Atlantic coast have been investigated in vitro for their potential.antimitotic properties, by vegetable tissue culture technique (inhibition of Helianthus tuberosus growth). For each sample, three extracts, prepared with E t 2 0 , then EtOH 99 %, then H 2 0 , have been tested. Some of the most interesting extracts have also been examinated in vitro by "Helianthus tuberosus test-disc", by crown-gall tissue culture technique, and for their cytotoxicity on KB-cells and for their antimetabolite properties. Results are discussed.
