摘要: Objective To identify the in vitro antiplasmodial activity of seaweed plants against Plasmodium falciparum strains. Methods A total eight seaweeds were collected from Kanyakumari district, Tamilnadu, India. The was performed 96 well plates , and preliminary phytochemcial analysis for extracts. Results Of selected Enteromorpha intestinalis (2.61%) showed maximum percentage extraction. minimum concentration inhibitory (IC 50 ) value observed with Chaetomorpha antennina [(26.37±4.14) μg/mL] further, positive controls such as chloroquine artemether activities (19.10±5.93) (6.03±0.21) μg/mL concentrations, respectively. phytochemical extracts a variety constituents carboxylic acids, phenols, protein, resins, steroids sugars. Conclusions extract might due to presence sugars phenolic compounds. From present findings, it is concluded that, can be further used putative drugs near future.
