Diabetes mellitus (DM), a major global health concern, is a chronic metabolic disorder. Bioactive compounds sourced from numerous marine natural products recently have drawn attention as novel therapeutic approaches. Considering these chemicals and their role in cellular redox modulation by involving the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) pathway, the current study attempts to highlight their anti-diabetic effects and the molecular mechanisms involved. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular damage are linked to most human pathologies specifically DM. The Nrf2/HO-1 pathway is a key defense mechanism developed by the cells to combat ROS burst. Marine natural compounds have strong pharmacological potential in triggering cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms by declining oxidative damage and inflammation linked to DM. How marine natural products potentially alleviate DM specifically type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its related issues is especially focused on. The literature was thoroughly analyzed to open a discussion about specific marine compounds and their well-established anti-diabetic effects to elucidate possible therapeutic applications. Furthermore, opportunities and the pros and cons of using these marine bioactive compounds as complementary treatment for DM are also discussed. The diverse characteristics of marine natural products, specifically with regard to redox control, offer promising opportunities for drug discovery and therapeutic interventions in clinical trials.
