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.
