Resumo(s)
Purified phlorotannin extracts from four brown seaweeds (Cystoseira nodicaulis
(Withering) M. Roberts, Cystoseira tamariscifolia (Hudson) Papenfuss, Cystoseira
usneoides (Linnaeus) M. Roberts and Fucus spiralis Linnaeus), were characterized by
HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn
. Fucophloroethol, fucodiphloroethol, fucotriphloroethol, 7-phloroeckol,
phlorofucofuroeckol and bieckol/dieckol were identified. The antioxidant activity and the
hyaluronidase (HAase) inhibitory capacity exhibited by the extracts were also assessed. A
correlation between the extracts activity and their chemical composition was established.
F. spiralis, the species presenting higher molecular weight phlorotannins, generally
displayed the strongest lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity (IC50 = 2.32 mg/mL dry weight)
and the strongest HAase inhibitory capacity (IC50 = 0.73 mg/mL dry weight).
As for superoxide radical scavenging, C. nodicaulis was the most efficient species
(IC50 = 0.93 mg/mL dry weight), followed by F. spiralis (IC50 = 1.30 mg/mL dry weight). These results show that purified phlorotannin extracts have potent capabilities for preventing and slowing down the skin aging process, which is mainly associated with free radical damage and with the reduction of hyaluronic acid concentration, characteristic of the process.
