Enhanced Antitumoral Activity of Extracts Derived from Cultured Udotea flabellum (Chlorophyta)

Figure 3

Effects of culture conditions and light on Udotea flabellum chemical composition and their role in the antiproliferative activity in cancerous cell lines in vitro. Increasing light promotes an increase in phenolic compounds, whereas, lipid content decreases. Therefore, algae extracts increases antiproliferative activity for SiHa, HeLa, Hep-2 and KB cells with time under controlled culture conditions.
