Neoplastic tumors are characterized by invasiveness and metastasis. Neoplasticcells are genetically heterogeneous and can develop resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. For this reason, plants continue to be an important source of new anticancer products. Objective. To determine the cytotoxic and antiproliferative activity of a fucoidan-rich extract of native Lessonia trabeculata (EFLt) on the tripe negative murine mammary adenocarcinoma cell line 4T1. Methods. Cytotoxicity and IC50 were determined in 4T1 monolayers using the MTT reagent. To demonstrate antiproliferative activity, “wound” closure and anticlonogenic methods were applied using the IC50 of EFLt and Doc (doxorubicin). “Wound” closure was evaluated by discrete times sweep to determine percentage inhibition of cell migration; the anticlonogenic effect was evaluated by colony counting 7 days after treatment and the su...
