      Marine microalgae are considered a potentially new and valuable source of biologically active molecules for applications in the food industry as well as in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic sectors. They can be easily cultured, have short generation times and enable an environmentally-friendly approach to drug discovery by overcoming problems associated with the over-utilization ...
    • Lysophosphatidylcholines and Chlorophyll-Derived Molecules from the Diatom Cylindrotheca closterium with Anti-Inflammatory Activity 

      Lauritano, Chiara; Helland, Kirsti; Riccio, Gennaro; Andersen, Jeanette Hammer; Ianora, Adrianna; Hansen, Espen Holst (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-17)
      Microalgae have been shown to be excellent producers of lipids, pigments, carbohydrates, and a plethora of secondary metabolites with possible applications in the pharmacological, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical sectors. Recently, various microalgal raw extracts have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we performed the fractionation of raw extracts of the diatom ...

      Jaspars, Marcel; de Pascale, Donatella; Andersen, Jeannette Hammer; Reyes, Fernando; Crawford, Alex D.; Ianora, Adrianna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-01)
      Marine organisms possess the capacity to produce a variety of unique and biologically potent natural products for treating human diseases, many of which are currently commercially available or are in advanced clinical trials. Here we provide a short review on progress in the field and discuss a case study of an EU-funded project, PharmaSea, which aims to discover novel products for the treatment of ...
