UJI POTENSI ANTI KANKER DARI EKSTRAK ALGA HIJAU Halimeda sp DAN ALGA COKLAT Padina sp DENGAN METODE BRIME SHRIMP LETHALITY TEST TERHADAP LARVA UDANG Artemia salina leach

Abstract

Green Algae Halimeda sp. Brown algae Padina sp. are two types of marine biota that contain secondary metabolites and are beneficial in the health sector such as anticancer. Bioactive compounds suspected of having anti-cancer activity were tested for activity by means of a toxicity test. The purpose of this study is to test the biotoxicity of Green Algae Halimeda sp and Brown Algae Padina sp to shrimp larvae (Artemia salina Leach). Knowing the toxicity value (LC₅₀) of Green Halimeda sp and Brown algae Padina sp. The research method used is the Brime Shrimp Lethality Test method. Algae samples were taken in the waters of this study Makupa Village. The activity test was carried out in the laboratory of the Biotechnology and Marine Farmasetical, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science Sam Ratulangi University. Probit and regression analysis taken to analyte the data. The results of the probit analysis on the biotoxicity of bioactive compounds from Halimeda sp had an LC₅₀ value of 67.87 mg/l and Padina sp 12.49 mg/l. These data indicate that the bioactive compounds from Padina sp are more toxic than Halimeda sp. Bioactive compounds from Padina sp algae can be developed as anticancer raw materials.
