| antiprotozoal, antimycobacterial and cytotoxic potential of some british green algae. | in the continuation of our search for natural sources for antiprotozoal and antitubercular molecules, we have screened the crude extracts of four green marine algae (cladophora rupestris, codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides, ulva intestinalis and ulva lactuca) collected from the dorset area of england. trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, trypanosoma cruzi, leishmania donovani and mycobacterium tuberculosis were used as test organisms in the in vitro assays. the selective toxicity of the extracts was a ... | 2010 | 19960429 |
