“…Effmert in 1991 reported aqueous extracts of different cyanobacterial species Microcystis aeruginosa, Synechocystis aquatilis, Oscillatoria redekei, Anabaena flos-aque, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, Oscillatoria rubescens, Oscillatoria tenuis possess strong immunomodulating activities [74]. Aqueous extract of the marine cyanobacterium, Trichodesmium erythraeum, ethyl acetate extract of non-edible blue-green algae Geitlerinema splendidum exhibit anti-inflammatory activity [77,78]. In chronic wounds where a coordinated wound healing cascade fails to progress beyond the inflammatory phase, the anti-inflammatory activity of cyanobacteria helps in the wound healing by proliferation, matrix deposition, and ultimately, wound resolution [79].…”

The wound care market is rapidly expanding due to the development of innumerable dressings that exhibit specific healing requirements for different wound types. The use of biomaterials as suitable wound dressing material is highly advantageous due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity. Cyanobacteria have been widely explored for their potential applications in wound healing, as they are the rich source of bioactive compounds with antibacterial, antitumor, antiviral, antioxidant, and antifungal activities. In recent years this group of organisms has been widely studied due to their immense potential in biomedical applications. Although their different bioactivities can support wound healing in different ways, very few forms have proven utility as a wound-healing agent. This chapter gives an insight into the potential of cyanobacteria in wound healing. Different bioactive compounds present in variable forms of cyanobacteria and their associated activities were reported to support tissue regeneration and wound healing acceleration. As the demand for cost-effective, bioactive wound care products is ever increasing, these organisms have immense potential to be utilized for the development of bioactive wound dressings. Hence, various bioactive compounds of cyanobacteria, their associated activities, and roles in wound healing have been briefly reviewed in this chapter.

Inflammation is significant innate mechanism of immunity in our human system. It enables our body to respond to a variety of stimuli, including ischemic, traumatic, physical, chemical, and infectious impulses. A major contributor to global health challenges and a significant driver of rising health expenditures are inflammatory disorders. Naturally occurring substances as well as its chemical structural analogues with anti-inflammatory potential have been discovered in the recent years. Marine life forms have a myriad source of natural molecules that can invoke inflammation as a defense against pathophysiology of illness. Macro and microalgae have been determined to be an undiscovered resource with pro-and anti-inflammatory compounds. Natural substances found in marine species can be employed in novel interventions as treatment modalities as anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and antioxidant capabilities. Among these substances, Kappaphycus alvarezii is one such marine red algae that can be employed therapeutically to possess biological effects that exhibit strong anti-inflammatory activity and fewer adverse effects. The expanding desire to research marine seaweeds such as Kappaphycus alvarezii and its phytochemicals has made it possible to find novel substances with the potential to be used in healthcare in the near future. This review envisages the anti-inflammatory properties of marine algae along with phytochemicals discovered in Kappaphycus alvarezii and its biological functionalities.
