Structural diversity of triterpene glycosides produced by sea cucumbers or holothurians (Holothuroidea, Echinodermata) is extremely high, although all of them are either lanostane derivatives or, rarely, products of their molecular rearrangements.

On Some Plymouth Holothurians [PDF]
Some of the specific and differential characters of these two species have already been enumerated by Pace (1). Subsequently Norman (2) denied that these two forms were different, so that the literature on them was left in an unsatisfactory state. On investigating these two forms, however, I have obtained sufficient evidence-from the characters of the ...

Gallic acid (GA) is a plant‐derived polyphenol with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, yet its efficacy as a functional feed additive in sea cucumbers remains unclear. Here, we systematically evaluated graded dietary GA supplementation in the tropical sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota by integrating growth performance, body‐wall nutritional ...

Holothurian sclerites of Carnian strata in the Mežica area, Slovenia
The paper presents holothurian sclerites from the 2nd clastic horizon of the “Raibl Beds” in the Mežica area. Thefauna is dominated by genus Theelia, represented by T. immisorbicula Mostler, T. planorbicula Mostler and T.

Triterpene glycosides isolated from holothurians are natural products known to possess cytotoxic properties against cancer cells. However, their anticancer prophylactic activity has not been studied sufficiently.

The Sea of Japan is a semi‐enclosed marginal sea in the northwestern Pacific whose bathyal communities exhibit a depauperate species diversity due to anoxic events during the last glacial maximum. Cold seeps associated with chemosynthetic ecosystems were discovered in this region over three decades ago, yet their fauna have not been characterised. Here,

Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a neglected tropical infection with limited therapeutic options. Sea cucumbers are recognized as rich sources of bioactive sulfated metabolites with potential antiparasitic properties; however, information on the chemistry and trypanocidal activity of Caribbean Isostichopus species is still scarce ...
