pancreatic cancer cells has been reported From the findings, fucoxanthin from H.banksii may be a promising compound for further the investigations into novel treatment agents for pancreatic cancers The findings from Paper VII demonstrated that the phenolic-enriched fractions (butanol and ethyl acetate) of the H.banksii showed high cytotoxicity against pancreatic cancer cell lines However, the polar phenolics (the butanol fraction) were found show low toxicity to normal cells compared to the medium polar phenolics (the ethyl acetate fraction) The phlorotannin-enriched fractions from the algae with the high cancer cell growth inhibition have been outlined previously The fraction with a high ratio of phenolics from the Ecklonia cava extract exhibited high inhibitory activity on the murine colon cancer cell line (CT-26) and mouse melanoma cell line (B-16) with the values of IC50= 5.1 and 29.3 µg.mL-1, respectively, with low toxicity to the normal cells (V79-4) with the inhibition < 20% at the dosages of 5-100 µg.mL-1 (Athukorala et al., 2006) There was a correlation of phenolics from Laminaria japonica Aresch with the inhibitory effects against the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell (BEL-7402) line and on murine leukemic cells (P388) (Yang et al, 2010) In addition, the Alaria esculenta extract with a low phenolics level showed high growth inhibition towards the colon cancer cell (Caco-2) (Nwosu et al., 2011) The hexane fractions from Sargassum swartzii and Cystoseira myrica showed selective cytotoxicity against proliferation of colon adenocarcinoma and breast carcinoma, while they demonstrated low toxicity to the normal cells NIH 3T3 (Swiss embryo fibroblast) with IC50 values of 180.7 and 639.74 µg.mL-1, respectively (Khanavi et al., 2010) Therefore, phenolics from the different algal species resulted in the varying inhibitory efficacy across numerous cancer cell lines 42 It was shown that three polysaccharide fractions (CF50, CF70 and CFR) from the alga H.banksii showed high cytotoxic activities against pancreatic cancer cell lines (Paper VIII) The inhibitory activity of the CFR fraction was significantly higher than these of the CF50 and CF70 fractions It could be that the CF70 fraction was found to be higher in antioxidant and cytotoxic activities than these of the CF50 due to higher sulfate content However the CFR fraction was toxic to the normal cells due to the high amount of phenolic residue Therefore, the CF50 and CF70 fractions showed potential for the development of novel treatment agents for pancreatic cancer The polysaccharide fraction from the Ecklonia cava extract showed activity against cancer cells, but was lower compared to that of the phenolic fraction (Athukorala et al., 2006) Yang et al (2008a) revealed that lower molecular weight fucoidans from Undaria pinnatifida enhanced cancer cell inhibitory activity by hydrolysing native fucoidans with mild conditions (microwave irradiation, acid solution) The sulfate polysaccharides from the Turbinaria conoides extract showed significant inhibitory effects on both the pancreatic cancer cell lines, MiaPaCa-2 and Panc-1 cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner (Delma et al., 2015) From the results (Paper VIII), it could be suggested that the polysaccharide fractions from the H.banksii extract should be further purified and assessed for their cytotoxic effects against pancreatic cancer cell lines In addition, these polysaccharides were safe and showed low toxicity to the normal cells; however, phenolics exhibited excellent inhibition of cancer cell growth with high toxicity towards non-tumorigenic cells 3.2 Conclusions and recommendations 3.2.1 Conclusions In the project, samples of six brown algae (Sargassum vestitum; Sargassum linearifolium; Phyllospora comosa; Padina sp.; Hormosira banksii; Sargassum podocanthum) were 43 prepared (drying, extraction and isolation of components) for assessment of their biological activity as antioxidant properties and cytotoxic activity against a range of pancreatic cancer cell lines For drying samples, the three methods of vacuum, de-humidification and freeze drying were suitable for the preparation of algal samples (H.banksii, Paper I) Three out of the six species (Sargassum vestitum; Padina sp and Hormosira banksia) possessed higher yield of constituents with high antioxidant activities compared to the remaining species, and were comparable with synthetic antioxidants These species were chosen for further study (Paper II) The algal extracts were obtained using ultrasound assisted extraction (H.banksii) and microwave assisted extraction (S.vestitum) The optimal conditions determined via response surface methodology to generate high yields of phenolics and antioxidant activities of the H.banksii extracts were presented in Paper III, and for S.vestitum in Paper IV The findings from Paper V showed that isolation of phenolic compounds from the H.banksii was efficient by the solvent-partitioning technique Higher yield of phenolics and antioxidant activity were found in the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions compared to other fractions, and the crude extract The cytotoxic activities of algal compounds from H.banksii against pancreatic cancer cell lines (MiaPaCa-2, BxPC-3 and CFPAC-1) were presented in three papers (Paper VI, VII and VIII) In Paper VI, fucoxanthin was isolated via column chromatography and quantitated by HPLC analysis The high cell growth inhibition by fucoxanthin against pancreatic cancer cells was observed at concentrations of 100 – 200 µg.mL-1 The cytotoxic activities against pancreatic cancer cells by phlorotannins, as presented in Paper VII, demonstrated that phenolics in the ethyl acetate fraction significantly inhibited numerous 44 cancer cells types (inhibition efficacies ≥ 80% with all cell lines) For pancreatic cancer, both the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions exhibited high inhibitory effects against cancer cells Interestingly, the phenolics in the butanol fraction possessed selective cytotoxicity against pancreatic cancer cell lines Polysaccharides (fucoidans) from H.banksii were extracted by water using an ultrasonic water bath, as presented in Paper VIII Three polysaccharide fractions (the CF50, CF70 and CFR fractions) exhibited high cytotoxic effects on pancreatic cancer cell lines, and both the CF50 and CF70 fractions demonstrated low toxicity towards non-tumorigenic cells 3.2.2 Recommendations Based on the results obtained from this study, the author recommends the following studies on brown algae: • The polar phenolic compounds of the butanol fraction from alga H.banksii should be isolated and assessed for activities against pancreatic cancer cell lines • Fucoidans from fucoidan enriched fractions from alga H.banksii should be purified to enhance their observed activities against pancreatic cancer cell lines • Phenolic compounds from alga S.vestitum should be assessed for activities against pancreatic cancer cell lines • The combinations between chemotherapeutic agents (such as gemcitabine), in combination with fucoxanthin, phenolic compounds and fucoidan should be assessed for activities against pancreatic cancer cell lines • Fucoxanthin, phenolic compounds and fucoidan should be assessed for their mechanisms of action (apoptosis/cell cycle) against pancreatic cancer cell lines 45 BIBLIOGRAPHY Ahn, G.N., Kim, K.N., Cha, S.H., Song, C.B., Lee, J., Heo, M.S., Kim, J.S (2007) Antioxidant activities of phlorotannins
