Halophyte plant (HPs), a salt-resistant flora, has been reported to provide several health benefits, but the knowledge of its cosmeceutical potential is still ambiguous. Here, 70% ethanol extracts 22 HPs collected from along coast South Korea were investigated for their potentials antioxidant, anti-aging, and whitening properties use as materials in novel cosmeceuticals. Antioxidant activities determined by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-pricrylhydrazyl) free radical hydrogen peroxide scavenging...
Microalgae are proposed to have powerful applications for human health in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Tetraselmis species (sp.), which green microalgae, were identified as a source of broad-spectrum health-promoting biological activities. However, bioactivity these has not been elucidated. We aimed confirm antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory effects sp. extract (TEE). TEE showed 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate radical hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities reduced...
A dieckol-rich extract (AG-dieckol) is a promising anti-diabetic agent or pharmaceutical resource that helps to improve the quality of life for diabetic patients.
Brown algae, Ecklonia cava has been regarded as a useful material in the prevention or treatment of several human diseases Jeju Island, Korea. In this study, we investigated its antioxidant activity, and isolated new antioxidative compound, which was identified 2,7″-phloroglucinol-6,6′-bieckol (PHB) on basis LC/MS, well 1H 13C NMR spectroscopy results. The activity PHB evaluated via vitro assays, such radical scavenging activities using electron spin resonance spectrometry, intracellular...
Seaweed, a popular and abundant food ingredient mainly consumed in Asian countries, is good source of bioactive compounds with anti-obesity effects. However, the effects
We investigated the effect of Ecklonia cava (E. cava)-derived dieckol on movement behavior and expression migration-related genes in MCF-7 human breast cancer cell. Phlorotannins (e.g., dieckol, 6,6′-biecko, 2,7″-phloroglucinol-6,6′-bieckol) were purified from E. by using centrifugal partition chromatography. Among phlorotannins, we found that inhibited cell most was selected for further study. Radius™-well used to assess migration, (1–100 µM) suppress movement. Metastasis-related gene...
Velvet antler has a long history in traditional medicine. It is also an important healthy ingredient food as it rich protein. However, there been no report about antioxidant peptides extracted from velvet by enzymatic hydrolysis. Thus, the objective of this study was to hydrolyze using different commercial proteases (Acalase, Neutrase, trypsin, pepsin, and α-chymotrypsin). Antioxidant activities hydrolysates were investigated peroxyl radical scavenging assay electron spin resonance...
