Abstract
Most of Earth’s resources are found in the oceans, making marine-derived biomaterials a viable, sustainable energy source. Marine-derived materials include porifera, marine sponges, sea urchins, marine fauna, marine algae, coral, sea urchin, foraminifera, and red sea algae, and their byproducts can be employed in biomedical applications. Natural polymeric substances (alginate, carrageenan, sulfate polysaccharides, chitosan, agar, ulvan, fucoidan, and collagen) and bioactive compounds (fatty acids, carotenoid sterol, phlorotannins, squalene, MMA, minerals, and vitamins) have been found in marine-derived biomaterial, which has a wide range of properties including anti-acne, antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity properties. As a result of recent rapidly evolving technological advancements, various marine-derived biomaterials have major biomedical applications such as drug delivery agents (liposome-based drug delivery), tissue engineering (3D printing, wound healing, and bone tissue engineering), dentistry, cosmetics (bioactive metabolite properties), and diabetes.
