Natural Products from Mangrove Actinomycetes

Mangroves are woody plants located in tropical and subtropical intertidal coastal regions. The mangrove ecosystem is becoming a hot spot for natural product discovery and bioactivity survey. Diverse mangrove actinomycetes as promising and productive sources are worth being explored and uncovered. At the time of writing, we report 73 novel compounds and 49 known compounds isolated from mangrove ...

Fibrinolysins from Gas Gangrene Anaerobes.

In an earlier paper, Reed, Orr and Smith (1941), demonstrated that the more actively pathogenic species of gas-gangrene anaerobes produce fibrinolysis when tested by the familiar procedure of Tillet and Garner (1933). Carlsen (1939) has previously shown that Clostridium histolyticum produces an active fibrinolysin. The eleven species of the genus Clostridium (some seventy-seven strains) tested ...

Antimalarial natural products: a review

For many years, major antimalarial drugs consisted of natural products, but since 1930s these drugs have been largely replaced with a series of synthetic drugs. This article tries to briefly indicate that some plants which previously were used to treat malaria, as a result of deficiencies of synthetic drugs, have rev...

Natural products from the genus tephrosia.

The genus Tephrosia, belonging to the Leguminosae family, is a large pantropical genus of more than 350 species, many of which have important traditional uses in agriculture. This review not only outlines the source, chemistry and biological evaluations of natural products from the genus Tephrosia worldwide that have appeared in literature from 1910 to December 2013, but also covers work relate...
