“…From then on, there are about thirty quinonoid pigments have been isolated from sea urchin of different species (Amarowicz, Synowiecki, & Shahidi, 1994;Anderson, Mathieson, & Thomson, 1969;Kol'tsova, Denisenko, & Maksimov, 1978;Mischenko et al, 2005;Utkina, Shchedrin, & Maksimov, 1976;Yakubovskaya, Pokhilo, Mishchenko, & Anufriev, 2007). Those quinonoid pigments almost all have the polyhydroxylated 1,4-naphoquinone (PHNQ) structure with ethyl, acetyl, methoxy and amino as substitutes (Amarowicz et al, 1994;Anderson et al, 1969;Kol'tsova et al, 1978;Mischenko et al, 2005;Utkina et al, 1976;Yakubovskaya et al, 2007). In recent years, the PHNQ pigments were found to possess excellent antimicrobial, antialgal, cardioprotective and antioxidant activities (Mischenko et al, 2005).…”
