Report of in vitro antileishmanial properties of Iberian macroalgae
Bruno De Sousa, Carolina; Lago, Joao Henrique G.; Macridachis, Jorge; Oliveira, Marta; Fonseca Brito, Luis; Vizetto-Duarte, Catarina; Florindo, ClaudiaHere is reported the anti Leishmania infantum activity of 48 hexane, CH2Cl2 and MeOH extracts from 16 macroalgae collected on the Iberian Coast. Seven hexane and CH2Cl2 Cystoseira baccata, Cystoseira barbata, Cystoseira tamariscifolia, Cystoseira usneoides, Dictyota spiralis and Plocamium cartilagineum extracts were active towards promastigotes (IC50 29.8-101.8 mu g/mL) inducing strong morphological alterations...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids of marine macroalgae: potential for nutritional and...
Pereira, Hugo; Barreira, Luisa; Figueiredo, Filipe; Custodio, Luisa; Vizetto-Duarte, Catarina; Polo, Cristina; Resek, Eva; Engelen, AschwinAs mammals are unable to synthesize essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), these compounds need to be taken in through diet. Nowadays, obtaining essential PUFA in diet is becoming increasingly difficult; therefore this work investigated the suitability of using macroalgae as novel dietary sources of PUFA. Hence, 17 macroalgal species from three different phyla (Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta) wer...
