Abstract Methotrexate is a chemotherapy medication frequently used to treat various forms of cancer. The purpose of this research was to examine if the administration of Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) and/or thymoquinone could ameliorate the liver injury resulting from methotrexate. The rats were randomly assigned to seven groups, each containing seven rats. The groups included a control group that received only saline, a group that received A. platensis orally at a dose of 500 mg/kg, a group that received thymoquinone orally at a dose of 10 mg/kg, a group that received a single i.p. dose of 20 mg/kg methotrexate, a group that received both A. platensis and methotrexate, a group that received both thymoquinone and methotrexate, and a group that received A. platensis , thymoquinone, and methotrexate. The injection of methotrexate caused an increase in the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, triacylglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol). The liver tissues also showed an increase in malondialdehyde and a decrease in reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase, along with pathological lesions and increased expression of TNF-α and caspase-3. However, administration of A. platensis and thymoquinone alone or in combination reduced the toxicity and apoptosis induced by methotrexate. Graphical Abstract

Abstract Ethanol extracts of Caulerpa racemose (Forsskål) J.Agardh, 1873, Dictyopteris acrostichoides (J.Agardh) Bornet, 1885, Halimeda opuntia (Linnaeus) J.V.Lamouroux, 1816, and Polycladia myrica (S.G.Gmelin) Draima, Ballesteros, F.Rousseau & T.Thibaut, 2010, were tested for their cytotoxicity against human hepatoma, human breast adenocarcinoma, and human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines. Dictyopteris acrostichoides displayed cytotoxicity against human hepatoma, human breast adenocarcinoma, and human colon adenocarcinoma with IC 50 values of 11.65, 9.28, and 16.86 µg/ml, respectively, in comparison to doxorubicin as a positive control (IC 50 5.72, 5.17, and 5.81 µg/ml, respectively). Metabolic profiling of the D. acrostichoides extract characterized seventeen metabolites. In silico analysis indicated 1-(3-oxo-undecyldisulfanyl)-undecan-3-one was the most active epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, while 1-(3-oxo-undecyldisulfanyl)-undecan-3-one and di(3-acetoxy-5-undecenyl) disulfide were the most active vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors. Furthermore, the ethanol extract of D. acrostichoides was tested against epidermal growth factor receptor kinase (IC 50 0.11 µg/ml) compared to lapatinib as a positive control (IC 50 0.03 µg/ml), and against vascular endothelial growth factor (IC 50 0.276 µg/ml) compared to sorafenib as a positive control (IC 50 0.049 µg/ml).
