Role of Algae in the pharma industry
The Pharma industry is one of the essential developing industries as it relates to human health. Researchers found that algae are enriched with bioactive metabolites, antibiotics, antiviral, and more nutritional substances. As it becomes an excellent source of nutritional supplements made, it is an absolute solution for drug production. So much marine algae research is conducted to find solutions using algae products. Here we have discussed how algae benefit the pharma industry. Antiviral properties: Most algae products have antiviral properties and fight against active herpetic viruses. It delivers good prevention of virus infections. Carragren from red algae, alginate from Brown algae, Nostaflan from Blue-green algae, and Fucan from Brown algae are some examples of biomass bioeconomy with antiviral properties.
