Unravelling the Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Potential of the Marine Sponge <i>Cliona celata</i> from the Portuguese Coastline
Inflammation is a double-edged sword, as it can have both protective effects and harmful consequences, which, combined with oxidative stress (OS), can lead to the development of deathly chronic inflammatory conditions. Over the years, research has evidenced the potential of marine sponges as a sourc...

Within this framework, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and the anti-inflammatory potential of the marine sponge <i>Cliona celata</i>. For this purpose, their organic extracts (C1–C5) and fractions were evaluated concerning their radical scavenging activity through 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), and anti-inflammatory activity through a (lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced inflammation on RAW 264.7 cells) model.
