Abstract
In these centuries we face many challenges of many
diseases such as diseases of hepatic , kidney and other organs and cancer, so we hope to present
some chemical compounds that extracted from algae (chlorella vulgaris as green algae and Spirulina
platensis as blue green algae) and which may be present a cure against hepatic diseases or cancer.
We identified these extracted compounds by HPLC - MS. The extracted compounds were carotenoids and
showed a positive results as anti – hepatic damage and as anti – cancer. We examined the biological
activity as anti - hepatic diseases by a biological experiment using rats and we examined them as
anti - cancer by cell line technique. Also, we examined these compounds as anti – DNA damage and
the compounds were safe on DNA. Because these compounds were a good tool against those diseases, we
make some treatments on algae to increase the content of used algae of these compounds by
biotechnological methods.
