“…Some studies of the pharmacological activity of microalgae have centered on antimicrobial (Raposo, Morais, & Morais, 2014;Dantas et al, 2019), antiviral (Kim et al, 2012), antitumoral (Koníčková et al, 2014;Trabelsi, Chaieb, Mnari, Abid-Essafi, & Aleya, 2016), antioxidant (Tobón-Velasco et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2020), anti-inflammatory (Pak et al, 2012;Hwang, Chen, & Chan, 2013) and immunomodulatory properties (Park et al, 2011;Abdel-Daim, Farouk, Madkour, & Azab, 2015). For example, hydrosoluble extracts from Chlorella stigmatophora and Phaeodactylum tricornutum showed anti-inflammatory and antinocicpetive activities in acute experimental rat models (Guzmán, Gato, & Calleja, 2001).…”
