Antiviral potential of natural products from marine microbes

Natural products from microbes associated with insects

Here we review discoveries of secondary metabolites from microbes associated with insects. We mainly focus on natural products, where the ecological role has been at least partially elucidated, and/or the pharmaceutical properties evaluated, and on compounds with unique structural features. We demonstrate that the exploration of specific microbial-host interactions, in combination with multidis...

Natural Useful Therapeutic Products from Microbes

Nature is an attractive source of new therapeutic candidates as a tremendous chemical diversity is found in millions of species of plants, animals, marine organisms and microorganisms. Natural products remain an important source of new drugs, new drug leads and new chemical entities. The exploitation of microorganisms to produce food ingredients has been going on since antiquity. Microorganisms...

Pharmacologically Important Natural products from Marine Sponges

Present review describes research on novel natural pharmacological compounds isolated from marine sponges. More than 90 novel cytotoxic antitumor compounds and their synthetic analogs have shown confirmed activity in vitro tumor cell lines bioassay and are of current interest to NCI for further in vivo evaluation. A great problem, to use directly the reservoir of marine organisms for therapy is...
