“…Ecklonia stolonifera Inhibition of MMP [194,195] Galland-Irmouli et al [196] and Samarakoon and Jeon [197] reported various skinbenefiting activities of protein and amino acids: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, antiaging, skin protective, and moisturizing effects in cosmetic products and the natural moisturizing factor in human skin. Houston [198] found Ulva australis to be a good source of essential amino acids, such as histidine and taurine. whereas Galland-Irmouli et al [199], Pereira [200], and Martínez-Hernández et al [201] have shown that red alga Palmaria palmata and Himanthalia elongata are a high source of serine, alanine, and glutamic acid.…”

Amongst the countless marine organisms, seaweeds are considered as one of the richest sources of biologically active ingredients having powerful biological activities. Seaweeds or marine macroalgae are macroscopic multicellular eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms and have the potential to produce a large number of valuable compounds, such as proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids, phenolic compounds, pigments, etc. Since it is a prominent source of bioactive constituents, it finds diversified industrial applications viz food and dairy, pharmaceuticals, medicinal, cosmeceutical, nutraceutical, etc. Moreover, seaweed-based cosmetic products are risen up in their demands by the consumers, as they see them as a promising alternative to synthetic cosmetics. Normally it contains purified biologically active compounds or extracts with several compounds. Several seaweed ingredients that are useful in cosmeceuticals are known to be effective alternatives with significant benefits. Many seaweeds’ species demonstrated skin beneficial activities, such as antioxidant, anti-melanogenesis, antiaging, photoprotection, anti-wrinkle, moisturizer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antioxidant properties, as well as certain antimicrobial activities, such as antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities. This review presents applications of bioactive molecules derived from marine algae as a potential substitute for its current applications in the cosmetic industry. The biological activities of carbohydrates, proteins, phenolic compounds and pigments are discussed as safe sources of ingredients for the consumer and cosmetic industry.

“…The following antioxidant responses can be expressed in microalgae cultures exposed to metal species, thus being useful to select biomarkers of oxidative stress in experiments with microalgae cultures exposed to metals: increased synthesis of polyphenols, carotenoids and organic acids that can bind metal ions; expression of phytochelatins that bind metal ions, particularly Cu(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II), and store them in vacuoles; cation binding to negatively charged residues of the cell wall, including sulfated polysaccharides; chemical linkage of metal ions to polyphosphate inclusions; metal ion sequestration by chelating compounds, which includes GSH, short-chain peptides such as Arg-Arg-Glu and polyphenols; and limited uptake or exclusion from cells [80][81][82][83].…”

The Role of Microalgae in the Biogeochemical Cycling of Methylmercury (MeHg) in Aquatic Environments

et al. 2022

Methylmercury (MeHg) is the most important and the most abundant organic Hg pollutant in the aquatic ecosystem that can affect human health through biomagnification. It is the most toxic organic Hg form, which occurs naturally and by human-induced contamination in water and is further biomagnified in the aquatic food web. MeHg is the only Hg form that accumulates in living organisms and is able to cross the blood–brain barrier, presenting an enormous health risk. Anthropogenic activity increases eutrophication of coastal waters worldwide, which promotes algae blooms. Microalgae, as primary producers, are especially sensitive to MeHg exposure in water and are an important entrance point for MeHg into the aquatic food web. MeHg assimilated by microalgae is further transferred to fish, wildlife and, eventually, humans as final consumers. MeHg biomagnifies and bioaccumulates in living organisms and has serious negative health effects on humans, especially newborns and children. Knowledge of the microalgae−MeHg interaction at the bottom of the food web provides key insights into the control and prevention of MeHg exposure in humans and wildlife. This review aims to summarize recent findings in the literature on the microalgae–MeHg interaction, which can be used to predict MeHg transfer and toxicity in the aquatic food web.

“…Polyphenols are one of the most known natural bioactive compounds for their antioxidant potential. They are found in several phytoplankton species (Agatonovic-Kustrin & Morton, 2018;Zolotareva et al, 2019;Pereira, 2020;Ibrahim et al, 2022). The antioxidant activity of polyphenolic compounds depends primarily on (1) Combining with free radicals, stabilizing, and deactivating them, (2) Regulating the expression and metabolic pathways of certain enzymes involved in balancing the intracellular antioxidant levels, and (3) Chelating metal ions such as copper and iron through their powerful abilities to donate hydrogen atoms and/or electrons (Li et al, 2011;Nimse & Pal, 2015;Ismail et al, 2020b).…”

“…Polyphenolics are classified into two subgroups, phenolic acids and flavonoids, on the basis of the structure of their carbon skeletons and functional groups. Polyphenols comprise a diverse group of natural phytochemicals containing more than 8000 well-known compounds (Abbas et al, 2017;Zolotareva et al, 2019;Shanab & Shalaby, 2021). Algal extracts have been documented as an indispensable resource of valuable phenolics and flavonoids with health-promoting benefits in terms of their potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties (Carocho et al, 2015;Wells et al, 2017;Catarino et al, 2018;Leandro et al, 2020;Semaida et al, 2022).…”

Egyptian Journal of Botany http://ejbo.journals.ekb.eg/ 2022 S EAWEEDS are an indispensable natural source of bioactive metabolites characterized by multifunctional biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. For instance, seaweedderived polyphenolics are potentially distinguished by their pivotal antioxidant effects in the treatment and/or prevention of several diseases. Moreover, pigments, fatty acids, terpenes, and terpenoids have been characterized by their potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiobesity properties, besides their highly effective hepatoprotective activities. Several seaweedextracted polysaccharides, such as alginates, ulvans, and carrageenans, have been reported to exert various medicinal effects such as immunoinflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, antiviral, and anticoagulant activities. Furthermore, seaweed-derived minerals have been widely utilized as food supplements and cosmeceuticals. This review discusses and emphasizes the biomedical and pharmaceutical applications of seaweeds and the future perspectives for their large-scale applications to develop novel, safe, and high-valued pharmaceutical constituents.
