The antioxidant properties and antiproliferative activity of the brown alga, ”Sargassum duplicatum” C. Agardh, were tested in this study. S. ”duplicatum” were extracted with hot water (WE), ethanol (EE), and supercritical carbon-dioxide fluid (SFE), respectively. The total phenolic contents, flavonoid contents, and antioxidant activities, including DPPH (α, α-diphenyl-2-pricrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging and reducing power were assayzed. And, the anti-proliferative activity of S. ”duplicatum”, extracted from hot water, ethanol, and supercritical carbon-dioxide fluid, were tests in human colorectal adencarcinoma cell line HT29 using the MTT assay. The result showed that the WE and SFE of S. ”duplicatum” have higher phenolic compounds and strong antioxidant activities than EE (p<0.05); The proliferation of HT29 cells was significantly inhibited at 48hr after exposure to the SFE, EE and WE, and the antiproliferative effect was highest in cells treated with SFE, follow by EE, and the lowest in cells treated WE, the differences among all groups were significant (p<0.05). This study suggested that brown alga, S. ”duplicatum” is a useful healthy seafood having antioxidant properties and antiproliferative activity.
