eckol

Eckol inhibits ultraviolet B-induced cell damage by a decrease in oxidative stress in human keratinocytes.This compound is unstable in powder form and other related salt forms are recommended.

Dieckol, a rhizomycin found in some brown algae species, has antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, antiaging, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective effects, ameliorates acute hearing loss, and inhibits cell proliferation through cell cycle arrest in human tracheal fibroblasts via Hs680.Tr.

2,7 -Phloroglucinol-6,6'-bieckol serves as an effective oral dual α-amylase α-glucosidase inhibitor, demonstrating IC 50 concentrations of 6.94 μM and 23.35 μM, respectively. This compound is beneficial in mitigating postprandial hyperglycemia among diabetic mice and is applicable in diabetes research [1].

Pyrogallol-phloroglucinol-6,6-bieckol (PPB) is a bioactive phlorotannin compound isolated from the brown alga Ecklonia cava that exerts potent anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic activities by inhibiting monocyte migration and macrophage differentiation toward inflammatory phenotypes. Pyrogallol-phloroglucinol-6,6-bieckol reduces monocyte-induced endothelial cell death and suppresses vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, contributing to vascular protection and potential therapeutic modulation of inflammatory vascular diseases.
