Bioactive Molecules from Sea Hares

2006
Sea hares, belonging to the order Opisthobranchia, subclass Gastropoda, are mollusks that have attracted many researchers who are interested in the chemical defense mechanisms of these soft and "shell-less" snails. Numbers of small molecules of dietary origin have been isolated from sea hares and some have ecologically relevant activities, such as fish

Artificial diets for sea hares

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1979
An artificial diet, made up principally of chemicals set in agar, has given good growth in the sea hare Aplysia dactylomela Rang (13 and 29% increases in live weight in two trials of 24- and 16-day periods, respectively, at 28.5 °C). Spawn production accounted for 65 and 29%, respectively, of these increases in weight.

Bacterial clearance in the California sea hare, Aplysia californica

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1971
Abstract Aplysia californica normally contains sterile hemolymph. It is capable of completely clearing in vivo at least 4 marine bacteria from the hemolymph, but was unable to completely clear the terrestrial bacterium Serratia marcescens during the period tested.

(3Z)-Bromofucin from a South African sea hare

Natural Product Research, 2005
Specimens of the cosmopolitan sea hare Aplysia parvula, collected in the Tsistsikamma National Park on the south-east coast of South Africa yielded the new dibromo-C15-acetogenin, (3Z)-bromofucin (1). Standard spectroscopic methods were used to establish the structure of this compound.

Chemical forms of arsenic in sponges, sea anemones and sea hare

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1988
Abstract 1. 1. Chemical forms of arsenic in sponges ( Halichondria okadai, H. japonica and Spirastrella insignis ), sea anemones ( Parasicyonis actinostoloides and Actinia equina ) and sea hare ( Aplysia kurodai ) were analyzed by HPLC-ICP. 2. 2. Arsenobetaine was found in H. okadai, S. insignis and A. equina and a tetramethylarsonium

‘The Hare and the Tortoise’: Lessons from Baltic Sea and Mediterranean Sea governance

Marine Policy, 2014
Abstract Commonly, the Baltic Sea is pictured as a proactive region with a long-standing tradition for cooperation and surrounded by the “greenest” EU countries. In contrast, southern countries often suffer from the “Mediterranean Syndrome” in which the heterogenous socio political situation is given as the “proof” that cooperation would not work ...

Antitumor and antimicrobial glycoproteins from sea hares

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1993
1. Novel antitumor and antimicrobial glycoproteins were found in the sea hares. These glycoproteins were purified to apparent homogeneity from Aplysia kurodai, Aplysia juliana and Dolabella auricularia, and designated as aplysianins, julianins and dolabellanins, respectively. 2.

Bile pigment metabolism in the sea-hare Aplysia

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1969
Abstract Feeding experiments with various algal and biliprotein diets have been carried out on Aplysia californica . Aplysioviolin is derived from the phycoerythrin of red algae. Aplysia become facultatively de-inked on a diet of brown algae, regaining the ability to generate ink when returned to red algae or to a phycoerythrin diet.

Absolute Stereochemistry of Ibhayinol from a South African Sea Hare

Journal of Natural Products, 2002
The absolute stereochemistry of the tricyclic, sesquiterpene ibhayinol (5) extracted from the sea hare Aplysia dactylomela, collected in Algoa Bay, South Africa, was established as 1S, 3S, 4S, 6R, 7S, 10R, 11S from a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment.
