Abstract:
Marine algae are an important source of bioactive metabolites in drug development and nutraceuticals. Due to changes in lifestyle brought on by increasing urbanisation, diabetes mellitus, a metabolic illness, is currently the third largest cause of mortality globally. Seeking an efficient natural-based antidiabetic medication is crucial to battling diabetes and associated with consequences because the existing have antidiabetics have unfavourable side effects. Brown algae are among the marine seaweeds that have a large number of naturally occurring bioactive chemicals that may be used as active ingredients in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Brown algae-derived polyphenols also have the potential to lessen the problems associated with diabetes. In vitro antidiabetic activity investigated using the alpha-amylase enzyme inhibition test determines the antioxidant properties. Antioxidant assays, Hydrogen peroxide assay and DPPH scavenging. The present study focuses on the antidiabetic and antioxidant activity of secondary bioactive compounds of Sargassum polycystum.
