Seaweed: A Potential Resource for the Development of Novel Multigenerational Medicinal Products
Abstract
A preponderance of research suggests that marine organisms are a veritable resource of metabolites critical in the drug discovery and development process. Typically, seaweeds produce a plethora of compounds that exhibit anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer, and antifungal properties. Studies on seaweed phytochemicals show that they possess an array of pharmacological properties that include antioxidative, immunostimulatory, and antitumor activity. Certain algae such as Ulva reticulata, Caulerpa occidentalis, Cladophora socialis, Dictyota ciliolate, and Gracilaria dendroides produce phlorotannins, diterpenoids, sterols, quinines, etc. These compounds are believed to have significant potential in the synthesis of investigational new drugs that will lead to the development of medicines that are safe, affordable, and effective in the prevention, management, and treatment of a broad spectrum of diseases and comorbidities. Consequently, this brief overview complements ongoing other exploratory studies propounding the utilization of CAM products in disease therapy.
