BIOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF VARIOUS MARINE PEPTIDES: A REVIEW
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Marine organisms are important sources of bioactive molecules that have been used to treat various diseases. Unusual marine environments are associated with chemical diversity, leading to a resource of novel active substances for the development of bioactive products. Recently, marine-derived bioactive peptides have attracted attention owing to their numerous beneficial effects. Moreover, several studies have reported that marine peptides exhibit various activities, such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antidiabetic, antitumor, antimalarial, antiprotozoal, anti-tuberculosis, and antiviral activities. In the last several decades, studies of marine plants, animals, and microbes have revealed tremendous number of structurally diverse and bioactive secondary metabolites. In this review, we will present the structures and activities of peptides isolated from marine sources (sponges, algae, bacteria, fungi and fish).
