Abstract
Portieria hornemannii, a marine red alga, has attracted considerable attention due to its possible therapeutic characteristics. NFκB, a crucial transcription factor involved in regulating immune and inflammatory responses, plays a central role in controlling the expression of various genes associated with inflammation, such as MMP 9. This study employed an aqueous extract of Portieria hornemannii (Ph) and subjected it to UV-Visible, FTIR spectroscopy, and GC-MS analysis to identify its phytochemical composition. The presence of Vanillin, tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether, Dodecane, 1-fluoro-, and Pentanoic acid, 5-hydroxy-2,4-di-t-butylphenyl esters in Ph indicates their potential anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting their potential application in inflammation treatment. In summary, Ph exhibited anti-inflammatory properties by modulating the expressions of NFκB-associated MMP 9 in zebrafish embryos, potentially reducing the risk of inflammatory diseases.
