New Peptides Isolated from Lyngbya Species: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Lyngbya Sp.: a Suitable Cyanobacterium for Harvesting Antimicrobial Compounds
Lyngbya spp. is one of the most efficient groups of secondary metabolite producers and is very important from pharmaceutical point of view. Among its various species, majuscula is the major producers of commercially important biomolecules. Several species have been isolated and screened from the marine in the past decades. Although the chance of isolating a novel Lyngbya strain from a marine ha...
متن کاملDolastatin 3 and two novel cyclic peptides from a palauan collection of Lyngbya majuscula.
A collection of Lyngbya majuscula from Palau contained the peptides dolastatin 3 (1), homodolastatin 3 (2), and kororamide (3), together with aplysiatoxin (4), debromoaplysiatoxin (5), and oscillatoxin A (6). The structures of the new peptides homodolastatin 3 (2) and kororamide (3) were determined by interpretation of spectroscopic data and chemical degradation.
متن کاملMorphological, chemical, and genetic diversity of tropical marine cyanobacteria Lyngbya spp. and Symploca spp. (Oscillatoriales).
Although diverse natural products have been isolated from the benthic, filamentous cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula, it is unclear whether this chemical variation can be used to establish taxonomic relationships among disparate collections. We compared morphological characteristics, secondary-metabolite compositions, and partial 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences among several collections of L....

Milk proteins provide a natural source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits and applications in the food industry. The release of these peptides from milk proteins is achieved either by hydrolysis using digestive proteases or by lactic acid bacteria fermentation. Peptides, particularly those derived from milk proteins, can exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biolog...
متن کاملAntioxidant properties in some selected cyanobacteria isolated from fresh water bodies of Sri Lanka
Phytonutrients and pigments present in cyanobacteria act as antioxidants, which facilitate the formation of body's defense mechanism against free radical damage to cells. The aim of this investigation was to study the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity, phycobiliproteins (PBPs), and active compounds in four cyanobacterial species, that is, Oscillat...
