Polysaccharides from marine red algae Amphiroa rigida and their biomedical potential: An in-vitro study

Herein, for the first time, the novel polysaccharides isolated from marine red algae Amphiroa rigida (ARPS) and enhanced its antioxidant, antibacterial, cytotoxicity, and apoptotic potential. An ultra-sonication disruption (USD) technology was employed to extract the ARPS and the extraction conditions were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) combined with Box-Behnken design (BBD). The maximum ARPS yield (28.6%) was achieved with the...
