Antiaging compounds from marine organisms

Marine organisms have received mounting attention in antiaging activity due to their exclusive chemicals. This review aims at revealing and discussing prospective antiaging substance from marine macroalgae, micaroalgae, invertebrate and vertebrate. The activity and mechanism of the carbohydrate, protein, pigment, flavonoids, fatty acids, phenols from marine organisms were revealed through a variety of antiaging experimental models such as rats, Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans. And meanwhile, the problems and prospects aspects were discussed for future research in this field. It was suggested that the antiaging functional ingredients from these marine organisms are alternative sources for synthetic ingredients that can contribute to consumer's wellbeing, as part of nutraceuticals, functional foods and cosmetics.

Automated summary

Marine organisms have unique chemicals that have potential antiaging properties. Various components like carbohydrates, proteins, pigments, flavonoids, fatty acids, and phenols from marine organisms have been shown to have antiaging effects in experimental models involving rats, fruit flies, and nematodes. There is potential for these natural ingredients from marine organisms to be used in nutraceuticals, functional foods, and cosmetics as alternatives to synthetic ingredients for consumer wellbeing.
