Hepatoprotective effect of Red Sea sponge extract against the toxicity of a real-life mixture of persistent organic pollutants

Abstract: The present study aims to evaluate the possible hepatoprotective effect of the Red Sea Hyrtios aff. erectus sponge extract against persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The induced hepatotoxicity effects were examined by using different POPs compounds, namely, a-hexachlorocyclohexane, b-hexachlorocyclohexane, g-hexachlorocyclohexane,

“…However, the optimal bioaccumulation capacity is at about 6 chlorines, probably because higher chlorinated congeners (esp. octa-) are so poorly water soluble so that their bioavailability is low [49,50]. α,β -HCH residues were found at high concentration in Siganus rivulatus muscle samples collected from El-Mex Bay with an average of 28.31 and 28.46 ng/g, dry weight, respectively and are much more than their corresponding values for fish collected from Matrouh coast (2.183 and 5.96 ng/g, dry weight, respectively).…”

“…Total Phenolic Contents: Phenolic compounds have been shown to possess important biological activities based on their structural characteristics [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. There are concerns about using synthetic phenolic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene…”

“…There is an increasing interest toward research on flavonoids occurring in various sources of marine organisms including sponges and their associated bacteria due to their multipurpose health benefits such as free-radical scavenging property, anticancer activity, antiviral properties etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]57]. Highly significant quantities of flavonoid contents were found in crude extract of the tested bacterial isolates equivalents of (+catechin).…”

“…Sponges have long been known as a source for natural products of pharmaceutical and medical relevance [1]. The Red Sea sponges have been the focus of much recent interest [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] because they form close associations with a wide variety of microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa,…etc. This complex micro biota makes marine sponges of particular interest to microbial ecology studies and also offers a potentially invaluable source of novel genes and gene products for biotechnological applications [10].…”
