Chapter 18 Marine Metabolites Oceans of Opportunity 2017-12-31 .txt text/plain 7118 404 41 Typically without the benefit of folklore therapeutic knowledge, marine organisms are collected, extracted, and fractionated to afford compounds that undergo evaluation with in vivo and in vitro assays en route to clinical applications. To gain an understanding of the importance of marine natural products chemistry in drug development G To be able to map the process involved in drug development from marine natural products G To gain an appreciation of the range of biological activities associated with compounds isolated from micro-and macroorganisms G To identify the marine-derived drugs which are undergoing clinical evaluation Biological activities identified in extracts and metabolites of algal origin include anticancer, antiobesity, neuroprotective, and antioxidant activity and Scheme 18.2 shows chemical structures of representative bioactive compounds isolated from the macroalgae. Biologically active compounds from marine bacteria also include Streptomyces species from sediment and fish gut from which anticancer (e.g., halichomycin and δ-indomycinone) and antibacterial agents (e.g., phenazines) have been obtained [58À60]. ./cache/cord-261170-arnwk287.txt ./txt/cord-261170-arnwk287.txt
