Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine environments host a variety of organisms that represent a huge reservoir of structurally diverse, biologically active compounds with unique properties. Among molecules, antioxidant compounds play a key role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and are involved in the survival of marine organisms exposed to environmental stress.
Marine antioxidants are represented by several compounds such as polyphenols, terpenoids, polyketides, alkaloids, sterols, pigments, polysaccharides, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as peptides and enzymes involved in the protection against oxidative stress.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect new, high-quality papers, including reviews and articles, on various aspects related to marine antioxidant compounds, including (but not limited to) the following: biosynthesis, mechanisms of action, antioxidant capacity, biotechnological production, and potential applications as new drugs, dietary supplements, and health-care products.
