Description Bioactive compounds from marine macroalgae are gaining immense attention
for their application as natural ingredients in various nutraceuticals and food
supplements. The present study evaluated the medicinal properties of the
organic extracts of four each of brown and red marine macroalgal species,
using various in vitro assays. Organic extracts of brown algae of Fucophycidan
subclass, such as Sargassum plagiophyllum, Turbinaria decurrens, and red alga
Hydropuntia edulis, displayed potential inhibitory properties against antioxidants
(IC50 0.2–0.8 mg/mL) and carbolytic enzymes (IC50 0.2–0.9 mg/mL)
compared to those exhibited by other studied algae. Noticeably, organic
extracts of red alga H. edulis and brown alga T. decurrens could effectively
attenuate pro-inflammatory 5-lipoxygenase (IC50 0.4–0.6 mg/mL), thereby
demonstrating their potential application to dissuade inflammatory pathogenesis.
This study demonstrated the predominantly available brown and red
macroalgae as potential marine bioresources to develop functional food
candidates.
