Dieckol, is a naturally occurring phlorotannin found in some brown algal species. Dieckol has anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-aging, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective actions[1].

ChEBI: Dieckol is a phlorotannin isolated from a brown alga Ecklonia cava which exhibits antioxidant, hepatoprotective and anticoagulant activities. It has a role as a metabolite, a radical scavenger, an EC 3.2.1.20 (alpha-glucosidase) inhibitor, a hepatoprotective agent and an anticoagulant. It is a phlorotannin, an aromatic ether and an oxacycle. It is functionally related to a phloroglucinol.
