Agarospirol is a sesquiterpene alcohol isolated from certain red algae species, particularly Agarophyton chilense (formerly Gracilaria chilensis). It has been reported to exhibit various bioactivities, including: Antimicrobial Activity: Demonstrates inhibitory effects against certain bacterial and fungal strains. Anti-inflammatory Properties: Shows potential in modulating inflammatory pathways, though specific mechanisms are not well-defined. Cytotoxic Effects: Some studies suggest cytotoxicity against certain cancer cell lines, but further validation is needed. Neuroprotective Potential: Limited evidence suggests it may influence neurological functions, possibly through antioxidant pathways.
