Isolation, Characterization and Structural Elucidation of Bioactive Compound in Aurora Globostellata
نویسنده
چکیده
The ocean covers about 70% of the earth surface providing a diverse living environment for invertebrates [1]. Therefore, marine natural products will play a major role in drug discovery in the future. The work on marine natural products started 59 years ago when Bergman discovered the novel bioactive Arabino-nucleoside from marine sponge Cryptotethya crypta [2]. This discovery encouraged natural products chemist to pay attention to marine natural products as important biomedical source. In order to survive in a highly competitive environment, marine invertebrates produce a tremendous diversity of extreme toxic compounds. This has stimulated research groups to screen marine samples in various cytotoxic assays.

Halophilic bacteria grow over a wide range of salt concentrations. In this study we aimed to isolate and screen out the halophilic bacteria and to determine their activity for production of the bioactive compounds. A total of 50 water, sediments and soil samples were collected from Maharlu salt lake in southern region of Fars-Iran and subjected for isolation of the bioactive compound producing ...
متن کاملHPLC-SPE-NMR: a productivity tool in natural products research
Natural products provide excellent potential leads for drug development because of their chemical diversity and biological functionality. However, the productivity of discovery of new, pharmacologically active natural products has traditionally been low due to inherent difficulties and costs associated with extract dereplication, i.e., isolation, purification and structure elucidation of indivi...
