Abstract

Research on marine-derived bioactive compounds is emerging in a current biotechnological era of the modern world. In recent years, with ever increasing scientific knowledge, social awareness, legislative authorities, along with a wider spectrum of biotechnological and biomedical-based analytical validation, the use of bioactive compounds became more popular and acceptable worldwide. As compared to the chemical-based synthetic formulations, marine products, and naturally occurring marine-derived bioactive compounds are being preferred, owing to their easy accessibility and fewer side effect. In this paper, biotechnological and biomedical (re)-valorization of marine-derived bioactive compounds have been reviewed. Marine-based resources such as algae and other marine by-product streams have been acknowledged as rich sources of structurally diverse compounds. A wider spectrum of marine resources possesses various health-related benefits along with a great therapeutic potential in the treatment and prevention of different diseases. Innovations in the current biotechnological world are providing, a portfolio of sustainable and eco-efficient products to compete in the market presently dominated by the fossil-based products. The present review mainly highlights a recent research on marine-derived bioactive compounds for biotechnological and biomedical applications.
