Abstract

Marine algae are significant ingredients to formulate drugs for treating disease as they possess various bioactive potentials. This review expansively compares the anti-inflammatory compounds from different marine algae. The anti-inflammatory effects of several different crude extracts and pure compounds of algae have been evaluated.Natural products from marine algae have potential resources in discovering anti-inflammatory drugs. These bioactive compounds can be characterized and tested the efficacy of the future use for the public. Research institutions should collaborate with industry in order to design and develop suitably appealing products with these bioactive compounds.
