Antineoplastic evaluation of Pacific basin marine algae
Abstract
Extracts of 107 marine alga specimens from Pacific islands were tested for P-388 lymphocytic leukemia and Ehrlich ascites tumor in mice. Several specimens showed high antitumor activity in both systems, with some featuring a notable lack of toxicity.
