The use of natural products as pharmaceutical ingredients has got much attention by consumers nowadays. Among them, marine organisms are currently considered as a huge source for the discovery of pharmaceutical agents. During the last decades, numerous novel agents have been achieved from marine organisms and many of them have potential application in pharmaceutical industry. Notably, marine algae are known to be one of the most important producers of variety of chemically active metabolites. Especially, phlorotannins, a polyphenol from brown algae, have been revealed to possess numerous biological activities such as UV-protective, anti-oxidant, anti-viral, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, anti-in?ammatory, anti-diabetes, and anti-obesity activities. Therefore, phlorotannins are promising agents for development of pharmaceutical products. This contribution focuses on phlorotannins from brown algae and presents potential application in pharmaceutical field due to its biological activities and health benefit effects.
