Abstract
Marine organisms are important sources for bioactive molecules that have been developed into treatments for various diseases. The unusual marine environment associated with chemical diversity constitutes an actually unlimited resource of new active substances in the field of the development of bioactive products. In this review, the molecular diversity of marine peptides is described as well as information about their anti-inflammatory properties and mechanisms of action. Moreover, novel bioactive peptides from sponges, bacterium and microalgae are also described with their pharmacological effects in relation with anti-inflammation.
Keywords: Marine peptides, anti-inflammation, marine organism.
