Chemistry
editPhlorotannins
editEcklonia stolonifera contains the phlorotannins phlorofucofuroeckol A,[2] eckol, dieckol,[3] dioxinodehydroeckol[4] (eckstolonol),[5] 2-phloroeckol, phlorofucofuroeckol B, 6,6'-bieckol,[6] triphlorethol-A,[7] phloroglucinol and 7-phloroeckol.[8]
Those phlorotannins are responsible for the potent pharmacological effects associated with this seaweed.[9] These molecules show a hepatoprotective activity.[6][10]
Oxylipins
editThe oxylipins ecklonialactones A, B,[11] C, D, E and F[12] and fucosterol[7] can also be isolated from the species.
