Bioactive Compounds
Starfish extract is rich in bioactive compounds, including but not limited to polysaccharides, peptides and proteins, lipids, steroidal glycosides and sterols. The composition of starfish extract can vary significantly depending on the species, habitat, and extraction methods used.
- Polysaccharides. Polysaccharides in starfish extract have potential health benefits. For example, the starfish acid mucopolysaccharide isolated from the echinoderms has a variety of biological activities such as anticoagulant, antitumor, immune enhancement, cholesterol lowering, antiviral, and anti-aging.
- Peptides and proteins. Starfish extract contain unique peptides that exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Lipids. Lipids produced by certain starfish species have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects and have potential applications in medicine.
- Steroidal glycosides (saponins). Steroidal glycosides in starfish extract exhibit anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. They can also play a role in modulating immune responses.
- Sterols. Starfish extract also contain sterols such as cholesterol derivatives, which have anti-tumor and cholesterol-lowering properties.
