Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of ortho-Quinone Methides as a Pathway to the Core of Nomofungin Introduction: Tetracyclic structures are found at the core of many biologically active molecules. One class of compounds with a tetracyclic core is the family of communesin products. 1 These products have shown cytotoxicity against several leukemia cell lines as well as insecticidal activity against s...

A common symptom of eutrophication in temperate estuaries is the proliferation of ephemeral, floating macroalgae. Information on the effects of blooms on underlying assemblages mostly originates from non-vegetated intertidal and subtidal habitats. Blooms also often settle in large aggregations over seagrasses, where they decompose. To test hypotheses concerning the effect of dense mats on under...

The nutritional values of the three Caspian Sea macroalgae species, Cladophora glomerata, Enteromorpha intestinalis and Laurencia caspica were evaluated based on proximate and fatty acid composition. The investigated species demonstrated low lipid composition (0.20±0.03- 1.62±0.26 % DW) and high carbohydrate (21.70±0.17-26.1±1.27%DW) and protein contents (13.34±2.41-28.08±0.51%DW). The as...

Three green algae, collected from the Romanian Black Sea coast, are studied: Ulva lactuca, Enteromorpha intestinalis, and Cladophora vagabunda, which were six different coastal areas. This paper aims to identify bioactive compounds of these algae their beneficial properties, in order use them as potential nutraceuticals using analytical methods. Pharmacognostic, microbiological, physico-chemica...
