Abstract

Antioxidant compounds may be useful as dietary supplements that protect from oxidative-stress-related diseases. Different organisms produce antioxidants as a defense mechanism to counteract the damaging effects of free radicals. Reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and even chloride ions are harmful to living systems. Cyanobacteria produce a wide range of bioactive compounds with diverse applications in agriculture, medicine, and industry. These compounds include pigments and secondary metabolites, such as mycosporine-like amino acids, scytonemin, carotenoids, phycobiliproteins, and other molecules with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The antioxidant molecules found in cyanobacteria may provide a safe, natural, and alternative substitute for synthetic antioxidants. They may also find an application in nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals. The antioxidant properties of cyanobacteria are ecologically significant, enabling their survival and resilience in extreme environments. Important advancements in the field of antioxidants derived from cyanobacteria are highlighted in this review. The novelty of this review lies in the fact that it emphasizes cyanobacteria as sustainable and renewable resources for natural antioxidants for reducing dependency on synthetic chemicals. A sustainable method of envisaging cyanobacteria as competent antioxidants may lead to new developments in the fields of diagnosis, management, and prevention of a wide range of diseases. This study also emphasizes the ecological and industrial relevance of cyanobacteria as sustainable sources of bioactive compounds for addressing oxidative-stress-related challenges.
