Comparison of Bacterial Diversity within the Coral Reef Sponge, Axinella corrugata, and the Encrusting Coral Erythropodium caribaeorum [PDF]
We compared the Caribbean reef sponge, Axinella corrugata, with the Caribbean reef coral, Erythropodium caribaeorum for differences in their resident microbial communities. This cursory survey of bacterial diversity applied 16S rRNA gene sequences.

Research Progress on Natural Diterpenoids in Reversing Multidrug Resistance [PDF]
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the main impediments in successful chemotherapy in cancer treatment. Overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins is one of the most important mechanisms of MDR. Natural products have their unique

Briarenol B, a New Polyoxygenated Briarane from the Octocoral Briareum excavatum [PDF]
A new polyoxygenated briarane diterpenoid, briarenol B (1), was isolated from the octocoral Briareum excavatum and its structure determined from spectroscopic data. In RAW264.7 cells, a macrophage-like murine cell line, briarane B (1) was found to enhance the protein expression of pro-inflammatory cyclooxygenase (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide ...

Total synthesis of (-)-mucocin and studies toward the asymmetric total synthesis of brianthein A [PDF]
A highly convergent asymmetric total synthesis of antitumor acetogenin natural product (-)-mucocin is described. This approach combined asymmetric glycolate aldol additions with ring-closing metatheses to construct cyclic ethers.

CHOLESTANE-TYPE STEROIDS FROM THE OCTOCORAL Verrucella corona [PDF]
Using various chromatographic separations, three cholestane-type steroids were isolated from the methanol extract of the octocoral Verrucella corona. Their structures were elucidated to be (22E)-cholesta-5,22-dien-3β-ol-7-one (1), trans-liagosterol (2 ...
