Recent advances of <i>Sargassum pallidum</i> in chemical and biological aspects.

ABSTRACT: Sargassum pallidum (Turn.) C.Ag. (SP) is a traditional Chinese marine medicinal material known for its extensive pharmacological activities and is primarily found in coastal regions. With a long history of medicinal use in China, it is commonly employed to treat conditions such as goiter, hyperplasia of mammary glands, hypertension, and obesity. Modern research on its phytochemical metabolites has identified polysaccharides, flavonoids, and lipids as the primary metabolites derived from SP, with polysaccharides being the most extensively studied. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that extracts and secondary metabolites obtained from SP exert various biological activities, including antioxidant effects, antitumor properties, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic actions, anti
