Biologically active compounds from marine organisms.
During the past 30 to 40 years, numerous novel compounds have been isolated from marine organisms and many of these have been reported to have biological activities, some of which are of interest from the point of view of potential drug development. On the other hand, some of the compounds pose potential risks to human health. In this latter category are the paralytic, diarrhetic and amnesic sh...
متن کاملBiologically Active Compounds from Higher Fungi
From mycelial cultures and fruiting bodies of Higher Fungi several metabolites with antibiotic and cyto= toxic activity have been isolated. Some recent progress in this field is discussed including the chemistry of sesquiter= pene antibiotics, striatals, strobilurins and hemiterpenoids. Myxomycetes appear to be a source of unusual pigments which often exhibit antibiotic properties. Fruiting bod...
متن کاملBiologically active compounds from Aphyllophorales (polypore) fungi.
This review describes biologically active natural products isolated from Aphyllophorales, many of which are known as polypores. Polypores are a large group of terrestrial fungi of the phylum Basdiomycota (basidiomycetes), and they along with certain Ascomycota are a major source of pharmacologically active substances. There are about 25 000 species of basidiomycetes, of which about 500 are memb...
متن کاملpH-triggered formation of nanoribbons from yeast-derived glycolipid biosurfactants.
In the present paper, we show that the saturated form of acidic sophorolipids, a family of industrially scaled bolaform microbial glycolipids, unexpectedly forms chiral nanofibers only at pH below 7.5. In particular, we illustrate that this phenomenon derives from a subtle cooperative effect of molecular chirality, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces and steric hindrance. The pH-responsive b...
متن کاملEffect of Cinnamon and its Biologically Active Compounds on the Components and Symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome
Background and purpose: Metabolic syndrome refers to a set of diseases including insulin resistance, high blood glucose levels, obesity, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia. The cinnamon plant is a member of the Lauraceae family and is considered a universal medicinal plant. Traditional medicine studies reported the therapeutic effects of this plant in the reduction of blood glucose levels, b...
