Description
Mangroves are woody plants that are found in intertidal zones, where land meets the sea, especially in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. They synthesize and accumulate diverse specialized metabolites that fall into major categories such as phenolics, terpenes, and alkaloids. Mangrove-derived chemical compounds have also been shown to exhibit a variety of biological properties including anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities. In this chapter, we present the chemistry and biological activities of the mangrove-specialized metabolites. Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.
