Marine algae as source of metabolites of economical impact

Abstract

In order to survive in a highly competitive environment, marine algae have to develop defense strategies that result in a tremendous diversity of compounds from different metabolic pathways. Recent trends in drug research from natural sources have shown that algae are promising organisms to furnish novel biochemically active compounds. The aim of this project is to study the compounds biosynthesized by algae with potential economic impact in food science, pharmaceutical industry and public health. Emphasis is given to antioxidants, bactericide, antifungal and UV absorber molecules. Macroalgae will be collected at Sao Paulo State marine coastal and assays will be performed at the lab. Extracts with potential activities will be purifies and the chemical structure will be elucidated. (AU)
