ABSTRACT
High levels of activity were detected when extracts of certain brown algae were tested for the presence of enzyme inhibitiors, lectins and DNA- cleaving compounds. Partial purification of these extacts by dialysis against water revealed that the compounds active in all three test were high molecular weight polyphenols. The active species included ascophyllum nodosum, Fucus serratus and F.versiculosus
