Overview

Study reveals weak antioxidant activity in fiddler crabs' bioactive compounds against pollutants, suggesting potential self-defense mechanisms.

Key Points

  • Fiddler crab extracts showed weak antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 174.617 μg/mL and 190.786 μg/mL.
  • Bioactive compounds such as alkaloids and saponins were confirmed through phytochemical screening and GC-MS.
  • The study was conducted on fiddler crabs collected in urban river locations of South Sumatra, Indonesia.
  • Findings indicate that bioactive chemicals may aid fiddler crabs in adapting to oxidative stress caused by urban pollution.
