The purpose of the present study is to examine the inhibitory effect of extracts of marine algae growing in Jeju on the growth of HL-60 leukemia cells. The effect was observed by measurement of metabolic activity and counting of viable cells. The methanol extracts on 36 species of marine algae growing in Jeju were screened for cytotoxic effect at the concentration of 100㎍/㎖. In results, the inhibitory effect on the growth was observed in the treatment of crude extracts on 7 species of marine algae. In particular, Dictyota dichotoma, Myelophycus simplex, Laurencia okamurae, Plocamium telfairiae, Petalonia binghamiae, Codium minus marketdly inhibited the growth of HL-60 cells.
