Environmentally Friendly Antifouling Metabolites from Red Sea Organisms

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Seventy‐one marine organisms representing different classes of marine fauna and flora were collected from the Red Sea. They include sponges, hydrozoan, soft corals, sea cucumber, ascidian, cyanobacteria, and macroalgae. The methanolic extracts were evaluated for their toxicity and settlement inhibition effects by using cultured Balanus amphitrite ...

Marine Invertebrate Natural Products for Anti‐Inflammatory and Chronic Diseases

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The marine environment represents a relatively available source of functional ingredients that can be applied to various aspects of food processing, storage, and fortification. Moreover, numerous marine invertebrates based compounds have biological activities and also interfere with the pathogenesis of diseases.

Traditional and Modern Biomedical Prospecting: Part II—The Benefits

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 133-144, 2004., 2004
The progress in molecular and cell biology has enabled a rational exploitation of the natural resources of the secondary metabolites and biomaterials from sponges (phylum Porifera). It could be established that these natural substances are superior for biomedical application to those obtained by the traditional combinatorial chemical approach.
