Evaluation of the anticancer potential of Hexadecanoic acid from brown algae Turbinaria ornata on HT–29 colon cancer cells

Turbinaria ornata is brown marine macroalgae contains diverse bioactive components exhibiting various biomedical properties. This study intends to analyze the inhibitory effect of Hexadecanoic acid (HA) of T. ornata on HT-29 human colon cancer cells. The isolated compound were characterized using UV, FT-IR and GC–MS analysis respectively. The HA was treated in HT-29 human colon cancer lines and the cell growth inhibition was determined by MTT...
