Article Synopsis
- Different solvent extracts from Aphanothece halophytica (A. halophytica) were tested for their cytotoxic effects on four human cancer cell lines, showing varying effectiveness.
- Extracts with high concentrations of A. halophytica, particularly 100% and 90%, exhibited significant cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells (MDA231) and caused cell cycle arrest in other cancer types like glioblastoma (T98G).
- The diverse chemical compositions of the extracts, influenced by the amount of A. halophytica, suggested that specific compounds like fatty acids and hydrocarbons could be responsible for their anticancer properties, highlighting the potential of A. halophytica in cancer treatment research.
