Brown seaweeds are popular and abundant food in East Asia and also well known for their medicinal effects due to presence of active phenolic constituents. Phlorotannins, the major phenolic group of brown algae, have extensively investigated for their vast array of bioactivities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antidiabetic. They possess promising activity in both in vitro and in vivo systems showing promising potential to further develop as therapeutic agents. In this chapter, attempts have taken to examine and categorize the reports available on active phlorotannins which have shown strong bioactivities.
褐藻是东亚地区广受欢迎且产量丰富的食物,因其含有活性酚类成分而具有药用功效,也广为人知。岩藻黄素,褐藻中的主要酚类物质,因其具有抗氧化、抗炎、抗癌和抗糖尿病等广泛的生物活性而受到广泛研究。它们在体外和体内系统中均具有良好的活性,显示出作为治疗剂进一步开发的潜力。在本章中,我们尝试对已报道的具有强生物活性的活性岩藻黄素进行研究和分类。
