The present study showed th e free radical scavenging activity of water extract of Spirulina platensis on paclitaxel - induced lipid peroxidation. This in vitro work was carried out with goat liver as lipid source using malondialdehyde and 4 - hydroxy - 2 - nonenal as model markers. The find ings suggest that paclitaxel could induce lipid peroxidation to a significant extent and it was also found that water extract of the Spirulina platensis has the ability to suppress the paclitaxel - induced toxicity.
