The structure and inhibitory activity of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation were studied using six model compounds and seven phlorotannins isolated from brown alga Ecklonia stolonifera. As a result, it was inferred that AGEs formation inhibitory activity was stronger when electron-rich groups were present because of the addition of many oxygen atoms to the phlorotannins.
Keywords: Ecklonia stolonifera; advanced glycation end products; phlorotannin.
