Twenty-Nine New Limonoids with Skeletal Diversity from the Mangrove Plant, Xylocarpus moluccensisMarine Drugs - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 38
Jianzhi Zhang, Wan‐Shan Li, Yi-Guo Dai, Li Shen, Jun Wu
Twenty-nine new limonoids—named xylomolins A1–A7, B1–B2, C1–C2, D–F, G1–G5, H–I, J1–J2, K1–K2, L1–L2, and M–N, were isolated from the seeds of the mangrove plant, Xylocarpus moluccensis. Compounds 1–13 are mexicanolides with one double bond or two conjugated double bonds, while 14 belongs to a small group of mexicanolides with an oxygen bridge between C1 and C8. Compounds 15–19 are khayano...... hiện toàn bộ
Anticancer Properties of LamellarinsMarine Drugs - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 1105-1123
Christian Bailly
In 1985 the first lamellarins were isolated from a small oceanic sea snail. Today, more than 50 lamellarins have been inventoried and numerous derivatives synthesized and tested as antiviral or anticancer agents. The lead compound in the family is lamellarin D, characterized as a potent inhibitor of both nuclear and mitochondrial topoisomerase I but also capable of directly interfering wit...... hiện toàn bộ
Functional Characterization of OXYL, A SghC1qDC LacNAc-specific Lectin from The Crinoid Feather Star Anneissia JaponicaMarine Drugs - Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 136
Imtiaj Hasan, Marco Gerdol, Yuki Fujii, Yasuhiro Ozeki
We identified a lectin (carbohydrate-binding protein) belonging to the complement 1q(C1q) family in the feather star Anneissia japonica (a crinoid pertaining to the phylum Echinodermata). The combination of Edman degradation and bioinformatics sequence analysis characterized the primary structure of this novel lectin, named OXYL, as a secreted 158 amino acid-long globular head (sgh)C1q dom...... hiện toàn bộ

This research shows that carbon dioxide supercritical fluid (CO2-SF) is an emerging technology for the extraction of high interest compounds for applications in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics from microalgae. The purpose of this study is to recover fatty acids (FAs) and, more precisely, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from Nannochloropsis gaditana biomass b...... hiện toàn bộ
Antioxidant, Hypolipidemic and Hepatic Protective Activities of Polysaccharides from Phascolosoma esculentaMarine Drugs - Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 158
Yaqing Wu, Hongying Jiang, Jyuan-Siou Lin, Jia Liu, Chang‐Jer Wu, Ruian Xu
The aims of this study were to investigate the antioxidant, hypolipidemic and hepatic protective effects of Phascolosoma esculenta polysaccharides (PEP). PEP was prepared from Phascolosoma esculenta by enzyme hydrolysis and its characterization was analyzed. The antioxidant activities of PEP were evaluated by the assays of scavenging 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide anion, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Next Generation Sequencing of Actinobacteria for the Discovery of Novel Natural ProductsMarine Drugs - Tập 14 Số 4 - Trang 78
Juan Pablo Gomez‐Escribano, Silke Alt, Mervyn J. Bibb
Like many fields of the biosciences, actinomycete natural products research has been revolutionised by next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS). Hundreds of new genome sequences from actinobacteria are made public every year, many of them as a result of projects aimed at identifying new natural products and their biosynthetic pathways through genome mining. Advances in these technologies in th...... hiện toàn bộ
Chemically Diverse and Biologically Active Secondary Metabolites from Marine Phylum chlorophytaMarine Drugs - Tập 18 Số 10 - Trang 493
Sayed Asmat Ali Shah, Syed Shams ul Hassan, Simona Bungău, Yongsheng Si, Hai‐Wei Xu, Md. Habibur Rahman, Tapan Behl, Daniela Gîtea, Flavia Maria Pavel, Raluca Anca Corb Aron, Bianca Pasca, Sebastian Nemeth
For a long time, algal chemistry from terrestrial to marine or freshwater bodies, especially chlorophytes, has fascinated numerous investigators to develop new drugs in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. As such, chlorophytes comprise a diverse structural class of secondary metabolites, having functional groups that are specific to a particular source. All bioactive compounds...... hiện toàn bộ
