Fucophlorethol C, a phlorotannin as a lipoxygenase inhibitor [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2015 Abstract Fucophlorethol C, a phlorotannin, was isolated from the brown alga Colpomenia bullosa (Scyto-siphonaceae) as a novel lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitor. It was obtained as a free form from natural origin for the first time. The compound inhibited a soybean LOX to the same extent as the known inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid.

, 2019 Natural marine-derived compounds show excellent biological activities. Isolation, characterization and applications of marine derived compounds show a promising way to develop novel drugs to treat various diseases. Phlorotannins are one of the main compounds which are commonly isolated from the brown seaweeds.

Combinatorial Prophylactic Effect of Phlorotannins With Photobiomodulation Against Tracheal Stenosis
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022 Several conventional treatments are used to manage tracheal stenosis after intubation and surgical procedures; however, patients are at risk of restenosis because of the absence of effective preventative therapy. In this study, we evaluate the biomodulatory effect of PT-combined blue light (BL) PBM in tracheostomal stenosis-induced animal models.

A Key Step in Phlorotannin Biosynthesis Revealed [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2013 Phlorotannins are a diverse set of polymers synthesized by brown algae, but their physiological functions are not well understood. They are structurally analogous to terrestrial plant tannins and are proposed to be important in cell wall structure, UV protection, and defense against herbivores ([

Defence Chemistry Modulation by Light and Temperature Shifts and the Resulting Effects on Associated Epibacteria of Fucus vesiculosus [PDF]
, 2014 The goals of this study were (1) to investigate whether Fucus vesiculosus regulates the production of its antifouling defence chemicals against epibacteria in response to light limitation and temperature shifts and (2) to investigate if different surface

Impact of a (poly)phenol-rich extract from the brown algae Ascophyllum nodosum on DNA damage and antioxidant activity in an overweight or obese population: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
, 2018 Background Epidemiologic evidence suggests that a diet rich in (poly)phenols has beneficial effects on many chronic diseases. Brown seaweed is a rich source of (poly)phenols. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the bioavailability and
