Abstract:

With the rapid emergence of cancerous diseases worldwide and the adverse side effects of existing therapeutics, discovering novel candidates from potential sources is critical. In this respect, marine sponges are a promising natural resource of anticancer compounds. The objective of this research was to determine the cytotoxic properties of marine sponges against histiocytic human lymphoma cell line U-937 GTB using Fluorometric Microculture Cytotoxicity
