Brine-shrimp toxicity assay was used to determine cyto-
toxicity levels of the compounds. The compounds prepared
by dissolving in DMSO in the suggested DMSO volume
ranges [24]. Artificial seawater is prepared by dissolving
3.8 g sea salt per liter of sterile water. The eggs of the
brine-shrimp A. salina, readily available as a fish food in pet
shops, placed in artificial seawater and allowed 48 h at room
temperature to hatch and mature. After brine-shrimp larvae
have matured (after 2 days), 10 of them placed into each vial
contains; 10, 100 and 1000 µg/ml concentrations of the
compounds which were prepared by dissolving in DMSO
and then added to 5 ml of artificial seawater. After 24 h have
elapsed, number of surviving shrimps counted and recorded
with the aid of 3× magnifying glasses. Larvae were consid-
ered dead, if they did not exhibit any internal or external
movement during several seconds of observation. Results
were analyzed with the LC50 program to determine LC50
values and 95% confidence intervals.
