Polyphenols are compounds found in various plants and foods, known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, researchers have been exploring the therapeutic potential of marine polyphenols and other minor nutrients that are found in algae, fish and crustaceans. These compounds have unique chemical structures and exhibit diverse biological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antitumor action. Due to these properties, marine polyphenols are being investigated as possible therapeutic agents for the treatment of a wide variety of conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. This review focuses on the therapeutic potential of marine polyphenols and their applications in human health, and also, in marine phenolic classes, the extraction methods, purification techniques and future applications of marine phenolic compounds.
多酚是存在于各种植物和食物中的化合物，以其抗氧化和抗炎特性而闻名。最近，研究人员一直在探索海洋多酚和其他在藻类、鱼类和甲壳类动物中发现的微量营养素的治疗潜力。这些化合物具有独特的化学结构，表现出多种生物特性，包括抗炎、抗氧化、抗菌和抗肿瘤作用。由于这些特性，海洋多酚类物质正被研究作为治疗多种疾病的潜在治疗剂，如心血管疾病、糖尿病、神经退行性疾病和癌症。本综述重点介绍了海洋多酚的治疗潜力及其在人类健康中的应用，还介绍了海洋酚类化合物的提取方法、纯化技术和未来应用。
