Abstract:Marine sources are known to produce structurally unique pharmaceutically potent secondary metabolites. During the course of our studies on Turkish marine sponges, we have collected Dictyonella incisa from Turkey's coast and methanolic extract was investigated for antioxidant, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by the superoxide radical scavenging assay, cytotoxic activity was determined against HCT-116 and HEp-2 cell lines by MTT assay. Antimicrobial activity was tested ag… Show more
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.
