Antimicrobial Activity of some Marine Sponges

Nature, 1969
THE evaluation of marine plants and animals for potential use in chemotherapy poses problems of procurement of materials and of techniques of screening for significant drug activity1. We have been studying antimicrobial activity in marine sponges both from the viewpoint of marine ecology and in an effort to develop new drugs, and report on our methods ...

Anticancer agents from marine sponges

Journal of Asian Natural Products Research, 2014
Marine sponges are currently one of the richest sources of anticancer active compounds found in the marine ecosystems. More than 5300 different known metabolites are from sponges and their associated microorganisms. To survive in the complicated marine environment, most of the sponge species have evolved chemical means to defend against predation. Such

Producing drugs from marine sponges

Biotechnology Advances, 2003
Marine sponges are potential sources of many unique metabolites, including cytotoxic and anticancer compounds. Natural sponge populations are insufficient or inaccessible for producing commercial quantities of metabolites of interest. This review focuses on methods of producing sponge biomass to overcome supply limitations.

[Bioactive compounds from marine sponges and cell culture of marine sponges].

Sheng wu gong cheng xue bao = Chinese journal of biotechnology, 2002
Presented a survey of bioactive compounds discovered from marine sponges in the recent five years, including the classes, distribution and their potential pharmaceutical uses. In particular, the compounds with antitumor, antivirus and antibacteria activity were discussed with their originating marine sponge species.

New tetrahydropyrans from a marine sponge

Tetrahedron, 1982
Two new tetrahydropyrans were isolated from the sponge Haliclona sp. From chemical and spectroscopic evidence they are shown to be (1''R,2S,2''E,5R,6R)-2-(1''-bromomethyl)-2,5-dimethyl-6-(penta-2'',4''-dienyl)tetrahydropyran and (1''R,2S,5R,6R)-2-(1''-bromomethyl)-2,5-dimethyl-6-(pent-4''-enyl)-tetrahydropyran.

NATURAL PRODUCT CHEMISTRY OF THE MARINE SPONGES

Pure and Applied Chemistry, 1976
A systematic search for constituents of marine sponges has yielded over one hundred new compounds, most of them with unique structural features. A broad survey of the field is presented and certain topics, particularly those closely related to recent work done in our own laboratory on sesquiterpenoids, are discussed in more detail.

BluePharmTrain: Biology and Biotechnology of Marine Sponges

2018
BluePharmTrain is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network of 17 European academic and industrial partners collaborating to train young scientists in multidisciplinary aspects of blue biotechnology. Harvesting marine sponges for the extraction of bioactive compounds is often highly unsustainable, and the chemical synthesis of promising compounds is often
