Bromophenols are important natural products from marine organisms, especially marine algae. These compounds, which have various structures, possess many health benefits, such as anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-neurodegenerative activities. Nevertheless, some bromophenols may be harmful to human health or even toxic. This chapter briefly describes recent research regarding these marine phenolic sources, structures, bioactivities, and toxicity.
