| Resumo: | Studies on the application of algae in the pharmaceutical
field showed the identification of several substances in
the composition of these aquatic organisms. The
possibility of their cultivation on a large scale also
contributed to make them a target of interest for the
industry, more precisely the food and pharmaceutical
industry. Data found on algae show that, in order to
survive, as well as marine organisms develop mechanisms
and strategies to not perish, in response to the challenges
that arise in nature, they also end up producing these
mechanisms that are called secondary metabolites. There
are researchers who indicate that the fact that plant
organisms are devoid of motility and immune system,
made them develop alternative defense strategies, which
end up involving the huge variety of secondary
metabolites as tools to overcome stress restrictions,
adapt to changing environment and survive. Thus, these
organisms can be very useful in the development of new
agents for application in medicines, foods and cosmetics.
It is true that during the last four decades studies have
been carried out and several new compounds present in
these sea creatures have been isolated and it has been
found that many of these substances have demonstrated
biological activity. |
