Uji Toksisitas Anti Kanker Ekstrak Alga Coklat Padina sp Terhadap Larva Udang Artemia salina Leach., dengan Metode Brine Shrimp Lethality Test

Abstract

Brown Algae Padina sp are marine biota that have secondary metabolites that are useful in the pharmaceutical field, especially raw materials for anti-cancer drugs. Bioactive compounds suspected of having anti-cancer activity were tested for activity by means of a toxicity test. Brine Shrimp Lethality Test Method. The purpose of this study was to test the anticancer activity of the crude extracts of Padina sp against Artemia salina L shrimp larvae using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test method. Algae samples were taken in the waters of Makupa Village. The activity test was carried out at the Laboratory of Marine Biotechnology and Pharmacy, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Unsrat. The test concentrations used of 10, 50, 100, 250 and 500 ppm, by first making 1000 ppm mother liquor. Data analysis used probit analysis to determine the toxicity value of LC₅₀. The results obtained showed that the increase in concentration was followed by an increase in the number of mortality of the test animals where Padina sp 65%. The results of probit analysis obtained LC50 Padina sp 12.45 mg/l. Based on these data, bioactive compounds from Padina are more toxic, so it can be concluded that the content of bioactive compounds from Padina sp has the potential to be developed as raw materials for anticancer drugs.
