Natural Product Chemistry of the Marine Sponges
نویسنده
چکیده
A systematic search for constituents of marine sponges has yielded over one hundred new compounds, most of them with unique structural features. A broad survey of the field is presented and certain topics, particularly those closely related to recent work done in our own laboratory on sesquiterpenoids, are discussed in more detail.
