LCA Research on Marine Products

marine microbial natural products

Marine natural products research: current directions and future potential.

Natural products research is increasingly turning to marine animals, plants, and microbes as source organisms. Several marine natural products are currently in preclinical and clinical evaluation, others show promising biological activities in in vitro and in vivo assays. Investigations of biological and chemical ecological phenomena in the marine world will contribute to a better understanding...

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

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 microo...

Marine natural products.

Covering: 2016. Previous review: Nat. Prod. Rep., 2017, 34, 235-294This review covers the literature published in 2016 for marine natural products (MNPs), with 757 citations (643 for the period January to December 2016) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, mangr...

Bioactive marine natural products

Bioactive marine natural products can be defined as biologically active products, both secondary metabolites as well as enzymes, lipids and heteropolysaccharides derived from marine sources. Marine natural products have been found to be an important source of drugs and drug leads. These natural products are secondary metabolites and enhance survival fitness and may serve as chemical weapons use...
