“…In their study, the researchers discovered that Eudistoma ovatum and Didemnum perlucidum contain compounds that exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in a rat model of carrageenan-induced paw edema. Furthermore, the methanolic extract of Eudistoma ovatum demonstrated a more potent antiinflammatory effect than other extracts [58].…”

“…The screening of bioactive chemicals from tunicates is mainly used in anticancer and anti-inflammatory medications, with antimalarial medications and other medications ranking second and third [58]. Some peptides and alkaloids purified from tunicates show anticancer activities [59], while sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) can be used for anticoagulation applications [60].…”

Tunicates are widely distributed worldwide and are recognized as abundant marine bioresources with many potential applications. In this review, state-of-the-art studies on chemical composition analyses of various tunicate species were summarized; these studies confirmed that tunicates contain nutrients similar to fish (such as abundant cellulose, protein, and ω-3 fatty acid (FA)-rich lipids), indicating their practical and feasible uses for food or animal feed exploration. However, the presence of certain toxic elements should be evaluated in terms of safety. Moreover, recent studies on bioactive substances extracted from tunicates (such as toxins, sphingomyelins, and tunichromes) were analyzed, and their biological properties were comprehensively reviewed, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities. In addition, some insights and prospects for the future exploration of tunicates are provided which are expected to guide their further application in the food, animal feed, and pharmaceutical industries. This review is critical to providing a new pathway for converting the common pollution issues of hydroponic nutrients into valuable marine bioresources.

The significance of autoimmune disorders (ADs) is underscored by their chronic nature, high maintenance costs, and complexity affecting numerous organs and tissues. A more comprehensive approach to treating ADs is required across patient populations. A revolutionary area for obtaining an integrated therapeutic option is natural phytoconstituents. Diverse biomolecules with promising properties can be found in abundance in the marine environment. Many substances have been identified from sponges, bacteria, fungi, cyanobacteria, and algae that have been shown to have immunomodulatory activities and may be used as possible treatments for ADs. Marine-derived bioactive substances have been demonstrated to affect immunological responses and to be essential in immunotherapies. The amount of information about the specific effects of substances obtained from marine sources utilized as dietary supplements or for treating immune-related diseases is growing. This paper discusses many sources of potential marine metabolic chemicals, such as maritime flora and fauna. Numerous marine phytoconstituents have recently been isolated, described, and identified, and they are currently undergoing human usage studies. We have attempted to consolidate information concerning phytoconstituents from marine sources with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties in this review, and we have briefly explored their methods of action. In order to provide a baseline of knowledge for promoting marine flora-based phytoconstituents in the current context of increasing ADs incidence, deprived of the more affordable, safe, and effective medications to combat the terrible human disease, this paper reviews the works thus far conducted on this aspect.
