An Assessment of Marine Natural Pigments for Medicinal Potency

Abstract

Marine resources are attracting a lot of interest from biologists and chemists due to their sophisticated and potent biological uses. Marine resources are diversified to usher in a new era of marine flora. Marine natural Pigments (MNPs) such as Chlorophyll, Carotenoids, and Phycobiliproteins can give therapeutic advantages. MNPs have many therapeutic applications including antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-angiogenic, and many more. Because of their numerous advantages over synthetic medications, MNPs can be used in the therapeutic and diagnosis of serious diseases. Discussed biological activities of MNPs strengthen the semi-synthetic pathway of drug discovery and open a new era of marine pharmaceuticals through computational study. In computational study, the molecule isolated from MNPs can have a stronger influence on both therapeutic and diagnostic outcomes. As a biomarker, MNP-derived fluorophores can be exploited in early diagnostic procedures. The primary goals of this study are to present an up-to-date view of recent research on the therapeutics and diagnostics advantages of MNPs, as well as structural properties and a list of marine organisms that generate various MNPs. We also discussed current trends and future prospects of the MNPs Market. This review encourages researchers to develop potent drugs with fresh insights into the possible function of MNPs to improve human health.
