Main Features

Antiparasitic and Immune Properties

Oleuropein is a phenolic compound naturally present in all parts of the olive tree, with particularly high concentrations in the leaves. It is the subject of extensive research in the development of natural, selective, and environmentally low-impact solutions for the health protection of fish.

Studies have shown that oleuropein can inhibit in vitro the infectivity of the viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), a rhabdovirus affecting both farmed fish and many wild marine species. This antiviral activity positions oleuropein as a compound of interest for the design of therapeutic agents targeting other enveloped viruses.

Olive leaf extracts have also shown notable effectiveness when integrated into feed against certain bacterial infections. They induce a stimulation of the immune response via the upregulation of genes involved in defense mechanisms, including TNF-α, IL-8, and IL-1β.

Furthermore, significant improvements in survival rate and immune parameters have been observed, associated with the upregulation of cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α.

Anti-inflammatory Effects

Oleuropein also possesses direct anti-inflammatory properties. These include the downregulation of major inflammatory markers such as iNOS and COX-2, as well as essential pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and IL-6.

Composition and Functional Information

Use in Marine Aquarium
