Honoring Prof. Dr. Valentin A. Stonik for His Outstanding Contribution to Marine Natural Product Chemistry on the Occasion of His 80th Birthday
Professor, Dr.Sc. Valentin A. Stonik is one of the pioneers in marine natural products chemistry. His specialisms are in the structure and properties of biological active natural compounds from marine invertebrates, especially echinoderms and sponges. His interests include the regulation of secondary metabolism, structural studies of alkaloids, unusual lipids, isoprenoids, polyhydroxysteroids, glycosides of polyhydroxysteroids, steroid, triterpenoid oligoglycosides, carbohydrates and other natural products, as well as the investigation of the biological activities, biosynthesis, chemotaxonomy and chemical evolution of secondary metabolites. He is the author and co-author of around 500 scient...
Selected Papers from the 3rd International Symposium on Life Science
This book contains information for specialists in various fields of science. From the point of view of pharmacology, data are reported regarding the effect of echinochrome A and related metabolites from sea urchins on the survival and functional properties of stem cells, which can facilitate ex vivo application of this compound in medicine. For scientists who isolate and establish structures of marine natural compounds, an article devoted to the proof of the microbial origin of a typical metabolite earlier found exclusively from marine invertebrates, 6-epi-monanchorin, may also be of interest. A range of new marine metabolites was discovered from the both marine invertebrates and marine micr...
Marine Glycoconjugates
The books described marine glycoconjugates. Two articles concern microalgal metabolites such as steroid and sphingoid glycoconjugates, and a glycoprotein from a sea cucumber with interesting biological activities, respectively. One article discusses the fatty acid composition and thermotropic behavior of glycolipids and other membrane lipids of green macrophyte Ulva lactuca. Three articles cover lectin subjects. One review article analyzes perspectives of marine and freshwater lectins’ application in experimental oncology and the therapy of oncological diseases; another article describes the use of a sponge lectin in the construction of a recombinant virus. The third article concerns the f...
Marine Pharmacognosy
Diverse and abundant, marine-derived bioactive compounds offer a plethora of pharmacologically active agents with the potential to produce valuable therapeutic entities. Marine-derived organisms, including some macroalgae, microalgae, blue-green algae, invertebrates, and vertebrates-valued in traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times-are now
Marine Glycosides
In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the publication of papers on the chemistry, biology, and potential clinical uses of marine glycosides. Indeed, more than half of the papers published in this field are less than a decade old. Glycosides have been isolated from species as diverse as algae, fungi, anthozoans, and echinoderms. Even fish of the genus Pardachirus produce glycosides, which they use as shark repellents.
Diatoms Biotechnology
This book covers biotechnology and applications of diatoms including various applications such as the use of diatom biogenic silica in drug delivery and their cultivation for wastewater remediation. It contains case studies in diatom biorefinery and provides information about the bioactive compounds, antioxidants, and lipids from diatoms. It also discusses the latest innovations in the genetic engineering of diatoms. Key Features: Discusses the applications of diatoms in drug delivery Covers the application and cultivation of diatoms for wastewater bioremediation Describes the innovations and gaps in genetic engineering of diatoms Throws light on the lipid content, antioxidant content, and various bioactive compounds present in diatoms Includes extraction technologies in diatoms The book is meant for academicians and microbiologists, biotechnologists, and marine biologists.
Saponins Used in Traditional and Modern Medicine
''A wealth of information...these two volumes will be immensely valuable to anyone having to deal with this difficult group of compounds.'' ---Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, from a review of Saponins Used in Traditional and Modern Medicine and Saponins Used in Food and Agriculture
Marine-Based Bioactive Compounds
The ocean offers boundless benefits to human health. Known for millennia as a source of food, it is continuously gaining recognition as a provider for a variety of materials, and as the largest habitat on our planet, the ocean’s biodiversity stands far above anywhere else. Functional ingredients derived from marine algae, invertebrates, and vertebrates can help fill the need for novel bioactives to treat chronic conditions such as cancer, microbial infections, and inflammatory processes. The latest addition to the Nutraceuticals: Basic Research/Clinical Applications series, Marine-Based Bioactive Compounds: Applications in Nutraceuticals provides an account of marine-derived nutraceuticals...
Studies in Natural Products Chemistry
This volume presents frontier reviews of recent developments in bioactive natural products in cutting-edge areas by eminent experts in their respective fields. It is an essential addition to this important series on Natural Products Chemistry, generally acknowledged to be the leading series on this topic. • The first seven reviews cover recent developments in the field of bioactive marine natural products. • Additional coverage includes Novel Domino reactions; medicinal plants and phytochemicals; recent developments in bioactive natural peptides; the chemistry and pharmacology of natural cyclic lipopeptides; and the biological activities of Salvia . • The text includes a comprehensive review of biologically active compounds of semi-metals such as boron, silicon, arsenic, selenium and tellurium.
Handbook of Natural Toxins
This volume describes some of the new research published since volume 1 of the series, Plant and fungal toxins , was published in 1983. A few chapters update topics previously treated, but most describe in depth the toxicologic and chemical aspects of other topics. Thus volumes 1 and 6 together prov
