ABSTRACT

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity (OC) was the predominant primary cancer in most countries. In the present study we take the task to investigate the anticancer activity of bioactive compound derived from Chlorella Vualgaris on human hepatocellular and oral cancer cell lines. The investigations of the efficacy of chlorella-based drugs are receiving growing attention due to their no or minimum side effects. Our result suggest that C. vulgaris may serve as an good lead for the development of anticancer agents for oral carcinoma. It is an accessible source of natural antioxidant source of natural antioxidants with considerable health benefits.

Keywords: Chlorella Vualgaris on human hepatocellular.
