In this study, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SC-CO2) technology was developed to extract the active components (such as antioxidants) from a novel microalga, Chlorella vulgaris C-C, due to its superior advantages over conventional solvent or ultrasonic extraction methods. Using SC-CO2 and ultrasonic extractions, the polyphenol contents of C. vulgaris C-C were 13.40 and 0.46 (mggallic acid/g lyophilized extract), respectively. The flavonoid content obtained from SC-CO2 (3.18 mgquercetin/g lyophilized extract) was also significantly higher than from ultrasonic extraction (0.86 mgquercetin/g lyophilized extract). Investigation of C. vulgaris C-C extract from SC-CO2 indicates strong antioxidant activities in radical scavenging, ferric reducing power and metal chelating abilities. In cell proliferation assay, the extract of C. vulgaris C-C inhibits human lung cancer H1299, A549, and H1437 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the treatment with extracts of C. vulgaris C-C effectively reduced the migration of tumor cells, suggesting the potential of using the C. vulgaris C-C extract to inhibit lung cancer metastasis.
