Abstract

The present work describes more than 60 natural products from marine red seaweeds (Rhodophyta) and their antioxidant activities. The results indicate that algae belonging to the order Ceramiales, family Rhodomelaceae are the most promising as potential producers of antioxidants. This activity seems to be related to the ability to synthesize polyphenols and their derivatives, as bromophenols.
