In vitro antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of three Malaysian sea cucumber species

The antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of aqueous and organic extracts from three sea cucumber species Holothuria scabra, Holothuria leucospilota and Stichopus chloronotus were studied. The result showed that aqueous extract of H. leucospilota contains the highest level of total phenols (9...

Only an aqueous extract of S. chloronotus inhibited growth of C33A (human cervical cancer) and A549 (human non-small lung carcinoma) cancer cells, giving IC50 equal to 10.0 µg/ml and 28.0 µg/ml, respectively.
