Statistical Research on Marine Natural Products Based on Data Obtained between 1985 and 2008

چکیده
Since the 1960s, more than 20,000 compounds were discovered from marine organisms. In this paper we performed a quantitative analysis for the novel marine natural products reported between 1985 and 2008. The data was extracted mainly from the reviews of Faulkner and Blunt [1-26]. The organisms producing these marine natural products are divided into three major biological classes: marine microorganisms (including phytoplankton), marine algae and marine invertebrate. The marine natural products are divided into seven classes based on their chemical structure: terpenoids, steroids (including steroidal saponins), alkaloids, ethers (including ketals), phenols (including quinones), strigolactones, and peptides. The distribution and the temporal trend of these classes (biological classes and chemical structure classes) were investigated. We hope this article provides a comprehensive perspective on the research of marine natural products.

This research was carried out to predict marital satisfaction based on parental marital satisfaction and healthy family-of-origin. In this study, martial satisfaction is considered as the most important component of marriage. This research had a descriptive, correlational design. The statistical population of the study included all young couples aged 30-40 in Kermanshah whose marriage had laste...
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...
