Abstract

Marine ecosystems represent a largely untapped reservoir of bioactive compounds with significant pharmacological potential. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic properties of ethanol extracts from four marine species: Padina australis, Spatoglossum asperum, Holothuria (Halodeima) atra, and Hypnea valentiae. Phytochemical screening, along with a comprehensive series of in vitro, in vivo, and in silico assays, was performed to evaluate the extracts’ pharmacological activities, including antioxidant potential (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay), anti-inflammatory effect (carrageenan-induced paw edema method), analgesic activity (acetic acid-induced writhing and tail immersion tests), and anti-arthritic…
