Abstract
Microorganisms provoke neglected diseases. However, social factors intensified those affected by them. Macroalgae are photosynthetic beings that live in oceans. They are divided into three categories: green, red, and brown algae. These groups are known for having metabolites with various applications in biotechnology and natural products chemistry. The present work aimed to discuss, through bibliographic review, the applications of substances extracted from macroalgae to the treatment of forgotten diseases in Brazil. This research concludes that literature has studies focused on the presence and absence of these compounds, namely its qualitative aspects, in which pharmacological, pharmacodynamic, and reaction mechanisms fields of these bioactive constituents are described.
