New Peptides Isolated from Marine Cyanobacteria, an Overview over the Past Decade
نویسندگان
چکیده
Marine cyanobacteria are significant sources of structurally diverse marine natural products with broad biological activities. In the past 10 years, excellent progress has been made in the discovery of marine cyanobacteria-derived peptides with diverse chemical structures. Most of these peptides exhibit strong pharmacological activities, such as neurotoxicity and cytotoxicity. In the present review, we summarized peptides isolated from marine cyanobacteria since 2007.

Alkynyl-Containing Peptides of Marine Origin: A Review
Since the 1990s, a number of terminal alkynyl residue-containing cyclic/acyclic peptides have been identified from marine organisms, especially cyanobacteria and marine mollusks. This review has presented 66 peptides, which covers over 90% marine peptides with terminal alkynyl fatty acyl units. In fact, more than 90% of these peptides described in the literature are of cyanobacterial origin. In...
متن کاملNew Peptides Isolated from Lyngbya Species: A Review
Cyanobacteria of the genus Lyngbya have proven to be prodigious producers of secondary metabolites. Many of these compounds are bioactive and show potential for therapeutic use. This review covers peptides and hybrid polyketide-non-ribosomal peptides isolated from Lyngbya species. The structures and bioactivities of 50 Lyngbya peptides which were reported since 2007 are presented.
متن کاملReview Paper-marine Microbial Bioactive Compounds
Oceans have borne most of the biological activities on our planet. A number of biologically active compounds with varying degrees of action, such as anti-tumor, anti-cancer, anti-microtubule, anti-proliferative, cytotoxic, photo protective, as well as antibiotic and antifouling properties, have been isolated to date from marine sources. The marine environment also represents a largely unexplore...
متن کاملTo cyclize or not to cyclize: catching enzyme evolution in the act.
If you look at the biggest genes in soil and marine bacteria, you tend to see the chemical blueprints for making natural products such as peptides and polyketides. Over the past decade, collective efforts of enzymologists working with synthetic and analytical chemists have been catching up with the data dump from microbial genome sequencing. Following this story line, we now understand how cyan...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides from Marine Proteobacteria
After years of inadequate use and the emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) strains, the efficiency of "classical" antibiotics has decreased significantly. New drugs to fight MDR strains are urgently needed. Bacteria hold much promise as a source of unusual bioactive metabolites. However, the potential of marine bacteria, except for Actinomycetes and Cyanobacteria, has been largely underexplor...
