Title Typification of Chemical Compounds
of Marine Sponge Metabolites
 
Creator Rajendran, I
 
Subject Bioactive compounds
Sponges
 
Description Sponges are the storehouse of extraneous marine biota paving way for the
formation of unique structured organic compounds with interesting
biological activities either by themselves or by their symbionts in the
form of secondary metabolites for their defense from their enemies. Some
compounds are specific to the genus and some are dependent on the
location. The range of compounds includes major classes, viz., terpenoids,
alkaloids, heterocycles, steroids, polyacetylenes, peptides, polyethers,
polyketides, macrolides, glycosides, and nucleosides. Major compounds
under each class with reported biological activities are discussed.
Compounds with unique structural features and chemical interest are
taken into account.
