Recent heterocyclic compounds from marine invertebrates: Structure and synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A large variety of unique heterocyclic natural marine products, without terrestrial counterparts, have been isolated from marine invertebrates, mainly sponges, ascidians, and soft corals. Many of these compounds display interesting biological activity. In this review, we report our recent studies on nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds (“alkaloids”), as well as some containing sulfur and oxygen, which have been isolated from Red Sea and IndoPacific organisms, and discuss progress on the synthesis of these natural products and structural analogs.

Marine Natural Meroterpenes: Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity
Meroterpenes are compounds of mixed biogenesis, isolated from plants, microorganisms and marine invertebrates. We have previously isolated and determined the structure for a series of meroterpenes extracted from the ascidian Aplidium aff. densum. Here, we demonstrate the chemical synthesis of three of them and their derivatives, and evaluate their biological activity on two bacterial strains, o...
متن کاملOne pot three-component synthesis of imidazole derivatives using NH3/NH4Cl
Imidazole is a planar, five membered heteroaromatic molecule with pyrrole type and pyridine type annular nitrogens. Several approaches are available of imidazoles from alpha halo ketones, aminonitrile, aldehyde ect. Reactivity of imidazole and benzimidazole is referred from sets of resonance structure in which the dipolar contributors have finite importance. Imidazoles among the principal grou...
متن کاملP 93: The Role of Marine Compounds in Neuroinflammation
Extensive research in the last decade has defined that most chronic diseases display dysregulation of multiple cell signaling pathways that have been linked to inflammation. Neuroinflammation is reaction of living nervous tissue to injury. It may be initiated in response to neurological disease. Including infection, traumatic brain injury, toxic metabolites and autoimmunity. The natural compoun...

In the present research, silica bonded n-propyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (SPTT) was synthesized by direct incorporation of chloropropyl groups through co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane (CPTMS) and subsequent grafting the melamine onto the propyl groups via simple nucleophilic substitution reaction. The catalyst has been characterized by ...
