Abstract
⺠Hexane extracts had the highest antiradical Fe2+-chelating activities. ⺠Chlorella minutissima, Tetraselmis chuii and Rhodomonas salina exhibit strong anti-AChE properties. ⺠Polyunsaturated fatty acids and sterols are the main compounds in bioactive extracts. ⺠The species under study are a valuable source of antioxidants, metal chelators and AChE inhibitors. ⺠This is the first study on chelating and AChE inhibitory activities in microalgal species.
