Lipoxygenase inhibitors derived from marine macroalgae [PDF]

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2014
The solvent extracts from the algae Sargassum thunbergii (Sargassaceae) and Odonthalia corymbifera (Rhodomelaceae) were subjected to soybean lipoxygenase inhibitory screening. Two hydrophobic inhibitors were obtained from the extracts of S. thunbergii through inhibitory assay-guided fractionation.
