“…All methanolic extracts showed lower anti-radical activity than ascorbic acid. Our results are within the range of values found in study carried out by Zubia et al 37 who highlighted that 24 species of red macroalgae, collected along the coasts of Brittany, have IC50 value ranging from 0.14 mg/mL to 29.72 mg/mL. The differences in the extracts antioxidant capacity depend on the complexity of their composition, which influences their bioactivities, were synergistic effects among the present compounds, can also occur leading to an increase in antioxidant properties.…”

their bioactive compounds are available in markets as anti-viral foods in assisting body's specific immune regulatory response. 12 In addition, it has been proved that applications of carrageenan gels from Chondrus crispus may block the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as other sexually transmitted diseases (STD) viruses such as gonorrhoea, genital warts and the herpes simplex virus (HSV). 15 The red algae Chondrus crispus commonly called Irish moss or carrageen moss and Mastocarpus stellatus also called Cluimhin Cait (cats' puff), carrageen, or false Irish moss are found in the marine environment and traditionally used to cure for colds, sore throats, chest infections including tuberculosis. 16 Algeria is characterized by an extensive coastline and a phenomenal algal biodiversity. However, data on pharmacological potential of their bioactive secondary metabolites are very scarce. Hence, the current study aimed to assess the biological activity including antioxidant and antibacterial capabilities of three (03) red algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis, Hypnea musciformis and Corallina elongata) collected from Algerian West Coast (Oran). Materials and Methods Algal species collections Marine red algae were collected from Algerian West Coast (Oran) during March 2019. The algal species were identified by experts in these fields, using standard literature and taxonomic keys. The collected algal samples were cleaned well with seawater to remove impurities matter such as epiphytes, sand particles, The seaweeds were transported to the laboratory in sterile polythene bags and were washed with distilled water several times, spread on plates at room temperature and in the dark for three weeks. Dried samples were cut

“…In the last 5 years, several studies have been carried out with the aim of evaluating the bioactive properties of marine organisms. Several studies have tested the extracts and the isolated compounds from extracts of marine organisms for bioactivities [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ], of which the cytotoxic activity [ 27 , 30 , 32 , 33 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 40 , 41 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ] stands out. However, only in some studies was it possible to isolate the compounds and test them for cytotoxic activity [ 32 , 33 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 40 , 41 ].…”

The development of novel anticancer agents is essential to finding new ways to treat this disease, one of the deadliest diseases. Some marine organisms have proved to be important producers of chemically active compounds with valuable bioactive properties, including anticancer. Thus, the ocean has proved to be a huge source of bioactive compounds, making the discovery and study of these compounds a growing area. In the last few years, several compounds of marine origin, which include algae, corals, and sea urchins, have been isolated, studied, and demonstrated to possess anticancer properties. These compounds, mainly from securamines and sterols families, have been tested for cytotoxic/antiproliferative activity in different cell lines. Bioactive compounds isolated from marine organisms in the past 5 years that have shown anticancer activity, emphasizing the ones that showed the highest cytotoxic activity, such as securamines H and I, cholest-3β,5α,6β-triol, (E)-24-methylcholest-22-ene-3β,5α,6β-triol, 24-methylenecholesta-3β,5α,6β-triol, and 24-methylcholesta-3β,5α,6β-triol, will be discussed in this review. These studies reveal the possibility of new compounds of marine origin being used as new therapeutic agents or as a source of inspiration to develop new therapeutic agents.
