Discovery of novel metabolites from marine actinomycetes.
Recent findings from culture-dependent and culture-independent methods have demonstrated that indigenous marine actinomycetes exist in the oceans and are widely distributed in different marine ecosystems. There is tremendous diversity and novelty among the marine actinomycetes present in marine environments. Progress has been made to isolate novel actinomycetes from samples collected at differe...
متن کاملActinomycetes: a yet inexhaustive source of bioactive secondary metabolites
The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance among pathogens has led to a renewed interest to search for novel antimicrobial agents. The history of new drug discovery processes shows that novel skeletons have, in the majority of cases come from natural sources. This involves screening of microorganisms or plant extracts. They have been the source of, or inspiration for the development of che...
متن کاملMarine Organism: A Rich Source of Bioactive Metabolites
Introduction The marine resources are nowadays widely studied because of numerous reasons. One of the reason is as the oceans cover more than 70% of the world surface and among 36 known living phyla, 34 of them are found in marine environments with more than 300000+ known species of fauna and flora . The rationale of searching for drugs from marine environment stem from the fact that marine pla...
متن کاملBioactive metabolites from marine invertebrates
Recent results in the chemistry of bioactive marine products are presented. Concerning the cytotoxic a-carbolines : grossularins A and B, the mechanism of the toxicity using supercoiled DNA and synthesis of the imidazolo-a-carboline moiety are presented. In the polysulfur compounds series, the structure of lissoclinotoxin B is proposed as well as a new synthesis of pentathiepins. Novel sesquite...
متن کاملEndophytic Actinomycetes: A Novel Antibiotic Source
Antibiotics are secondary metabolites produced by some microorganisms to inhibit or kill many other microorganisms including different bacteria, viruses and eukaryotic cells. Antibiotics are secondary metabolites and these have also been termed “idiolites” (Walker, 1974). Subsequent and widespread use of antibiotics for therapeutic purposes regularly in human, veterinary and agricultural purpos...
