CO I Barcoding Reveals New Clades and Radiation Patterns of Indo-Pacific Sponges of the Family Irciniidae (Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida) [PDF]

, 2010
DNA barcoding is a promising tool to facilitate a rapid and unambiguous identification of sponge species. Demosponges of the order Dictyoceratida are particularly challenging to identify, but are of ecological as well as biochemical importance.Here we ...

The Chemistry of Marine Sponges∗

, 2012
Marine sponges continue to attract wide attention from marine natural product chemists and pharmacologists alike due to their remarkable diversity of bioactive compounds. Since the early days of marine natural products research in the 1960s, sponges have notoriously yielded the largest number of new metabolites reported per year compared to any other ...

Biological activities of ethanolic extracts from deep-sea antarctic marine sponges

, 2013
We report on the screening of ethanolic extracts from 33 deep-sea Antarctic marine sponges for different biological activities. We monitored hemolysis, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, cytotoxicity towards normal and transformed cells and growth ...

Studies of chemical distribution and pharmacological activities of porifera-derived alkaloids: A review (2000–2023)

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Reports
This review explores the non-random distribution of chemical novelty among marine invertebrate phyla, with a particular focus on Porifera (sponges), which have exhibited the highest average count of novel natural products per species since 1990. Sponges,
