Biological Activities of Marine Products and Nutritional Importance

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioactive Natural Products for Pharmaceutical Applications

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 140))

Abstract

Bioactive compounds, also known as phyto-nutrients are those compounds which enhance or we can say that promote good health. They are found in a limited amount in plants, animals, marine, and other natural food sources which help in the prevention of many diseases e.g. cancers, cardiac disorders, diabetes, etc. It is well known to us that nearly half of the worldwide biodiversity is constituted by different types of marine species and as a result, oceans, sea are enriched with valuable natural bioactive compounds such as proteins, peptides, amino acids, fatty acids, sterols, oligosaccharides, vitamins, and minerals, etc. These agents also help to enhance the nutritional as well as the therapeutic value of the food products. Every year nearly thousands of new compounds are isolated from a marine organism which further help in the discovery of new leads for the development of new drugs to treat or diagnose human diseases like cancer, viral diseases, inflammation, etc. For example, thyrsiferol, which is isolated from marine red algae (genus: Laurencia) on the experimental studies shows potent anti-viral and anti-tumour activities. Another example is marine sponge (genus: Insignia) which is a good source of terpenoids consisting of tetronic acids which act as anti-inflammatory agent, analgesic, and antibiotics. There are numerous examples of such marine products that are enriched with nutritional values and show many potent biological activities. In this article, we are going to discuss different marine products one by one with their biological and nutritional importances and also their role in the development of new drugs in the treatment of various human diseases.
