Abstract

Seaweeds are one of the largest producers in marine environments and one of the most valuable biological capacities in the country, which has not received much attention so that there was no systematic and codified program for the exploitation of these marine reserves, while they contain high amounts of vitamins, mineral, protein, carotenoids, fiber and fatty acids, and they have a great deal of pharmaceutical use because of their bioactive compounds. Therefore, in this study, the pharmacological properties of 5 algae identified on the southern shores of the country (Polycladia myrica, Sirophysalis trinodis, Sargassum ilicifolium, Sargassum angustifolium and Colpomenia sinuosa) were studied. So if they have anti-oxidant properties, they can be introduced to the centers of Food-Drug and promoted them on farmland. The results of their antioxidant properties showed that the extract of brown seaweeds has different antioxidant properties and their properties are proportional to the content of their antioxidant compounds. In this study, only C. sinuosa algae had the least antioxidant properties compared to the other four species; but overall, all five species have usability as a primary drug substance. Therefore, their development and promotion should be considered as natural antioxidants in the future.
