Journal ArticleDOI

Eduardo V. Mercado-Marin,Pablo García-Reynaga,Stelamar Romminger,Eli F. Pimenta,David K. Romney,Michael W. Lodewyk,David E. Williams,Raymond J. Andersen,Scott J. Miller,Dean J. Tantillo,Roberto G. S. Berlinck,Richmond Sarpong +11 more
TL;DR: The chemical connections that have been realized as a result of the syntheses of citrinalin and cyclopiamine support the existence of a common bicyclo-containing biogenetic precursor to these compounds, as has been proposed previously.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Inoculation of marine macroorganisms fragments in Petri dishes proved to be the most convenient procedure for the isolation of the largest number of strains, and among the growth media used, 3% malt extract showed the best result for strains isolation and growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfated Meroterpenoids from the Brazilian Sponge Callyspongia sp. Are Inhibitors of the Antileishmaniasis Target Adenosine Phosphoribosyl Transferase
Christopher A. Gray,Simone Possedente de Lira,Marcio Silva,Eli F. Pimenta,Otavio Henrique Thiemann,Glaucius Oliva,Eduardo Hajdu,Raymond J. Andersen,Roberto G. S. Berlinck +8 more
TL;DR: Three new disulfated meroterpenoids, ilhabelanol (1), ilhabrene (2), and isoakaterpin (3), have been isolated from extracts of the Brazilian marine sponge Callyspongia sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic, cytotoxic and enzyme inhibitory activity of crude extracts from Brazilian marine invertebrates

Galetti,Célio Lopes Silva,Ana O. de Souza,Solange Peixinho +20 more
TL;DR: Overall, the crude extracts of marine invertebrates herein investigated presented a high level of cytotoxic and antimycobacterial activities, a lower level of antibacterial activity and only a small number of crude extracts inhibited L-APRT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioreduction of α-chloroacetophenone by whole cells of marine fungi
Lenilson C. Rocha,Hercules V. Ferreira,Eli F. Pimenta,Roberto G. S. Berlinck,Mirna Helena Regali Seleghim,Darci C. D. Javaroti,Lara Durães Sette,Rafaella C. Bonugli,André Luiz Meleiro Porto +8 more
TL;DR: The asymmetric reduction of 2-chloro-1-phenylethanone by seven strains of marine fungi was evaluated and the biocatalytic reduction of 1 was more efficient at neutral rather than acidic pH values and in the absence of glucose as co-substrate.
