Abstract

The markets for prescribed drugs are growing quickly worldwide. A developing share of today’s promising pharmaceutical research focuses on the manufacturing of effective bioactive compounds from algae. Pharmaceutically treasured products from algae and its industrial commercialization today are still in its infancy and can be considered as a gateway to a multibillion dollar industry. Algae represent a principal untapped useful resource of genetic potential for precious bioactive agents and high-quality biochemical. This tested capability of algae to produce these compounds places these microorganisms in the biotechnological highlight for functions and commercialization as in the pharmaceutical industry. The manufacturing of algal metabolites, which stimulate protection mechanisms in the human body, has spurred extreme find out about of the utility of algal biomass and products thereof in more than food preparations, pharmacological and clinical products. There is, therefore, a massive scope in addition learn about of the identified algal compounds and their activities in the treatment and prevention of various diseases, in addition to an ongoing search for other, as yet undetected, metabolites.
