Avrainvillea is a genus of green algae in the family Dichotomosiphonaceae.[1]
As sources of bioactive natural products
The organic extract of Avrainvillea longicaulis had antioxidant activity surpassing or equivalent to that of commercially available antioxidants (butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole and alpha-tocopherol).[2]
Avrainvillea erecta was reported to have strong hemagglutination activity.[3] In addition, the chloroform fraction of a methanol extract of Avrainvillea erecta exhibited hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity as strong as that shown by gallic acid.[4]
