Marine Algae-Derived Bioactive Compounds: Pharmaceutical Applications and Pharmacological Activities
Abstract: Antibacterial strategies that go beyond traditional target-based antibiotics are necessary because antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant and developing threat to the treatment of infectious diseases. Marine algae, which include microalgae and macroalgae (green, brown, and red seaweeds), live in chemically varied environments and produce structurally unique metabolites that can impede the persistence, virulence, and survival of bacteria. This review explores the pharmacological potential of marine algae-derived bioactive compounds against …
