Ishige foliacea belongs to class Phaeophyceae and family Ishigeaceae. This study investigated the physiological activities of the Korean marine algae I. foliacea. Its solvent extracts were prepared with 70% ethanol, 80% methanol, and distilled water. The ethanol and methanol extracts had higher α-glucosidase (half-maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50: 0.67-0.73 mg/mL), xanthine oxidase (IC50: 0.25-0.28 mg/mL), and angiotensin-converting enzyme (IC50: 25.29-38.28 μg/mL) inhibitory activities than those of the water extract. The ethanol and methanol extracts possessed high acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (IC50: 0.78-0.97 mg/mL). Conversely, the water extract exhibited the highest β-secretase inhibitory activity (IC50: 0.48 mg/mL). These results indicate that I. foliacea may be useful as a functional substance in food and pharmaceuticals with anti-diabetic, anti-gout, anti-hypertension, and anti-dementia properties.
