Marine natural products.

Secondary metabolites of fungi from marine habitats.

Covering: 2010. Previous review: Nat. Prod. Rep., 2011, 28, 196. This review covers the literature published in 2010 for marine natural products, with 895 citations (590 for the period January to December 2010) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, mangroves and other intertidal plants and microorganisms. The emphasis is on new compounds (1003 for 2010), together with the relevant biological activities, source organisms and country of origin. Biosynthetic studies, first syntheses, and syntheses that lead to the revision of structures or stereochemistries, have been included.

Azaphilones: Chemistry and Biology

Summary

Marine bacteria and fungi are of considerable importance as new promising sources of a huge number of biologically active products. Some of these marine species live in a stressful habitat, under cold, lightless and high pressure conditions. Surprisingly, a large number of species with high diversity survive under such conditions and produce fascinating and structurally complex natural products. Up till now, only a small number of microorganisms have been investigated for bioactive metabolites, yet a huge number of active substances with some of them featuring unique structural skeletons have been isolated. This review covers new biologically active natural products published recently (2007–09) and highlights the chemical potential of marine microorganisms, with focus on bioactive products as well as on their mechanisms of action.

Bioactive compounds from marine bacteria and fungi.

Three new sesquiterpenes, named aspergillusenes A (1) and B (2) and (+)-(7S)-7-O-methylsydonic acid (3), and two new hydrogenated xanthone derivatives, named aspergillusones A (4) and B (5), were isolated from the sea fan-derived fungus Aspergillus sydowii PSU-F154 together with 10 known compounds. Their structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic data. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant activity.

Furo[3,2-h]isochroman, furo[3,2-h]isoquinoline, isochroman, phenol, pyranone, and pyrone derivatives from the sea fan-derived fungus Penicillium sp. PSU-F40

Bioactive polyketides from the sea fan-derived fungus Penicillium citrinum PSU-F51

Two new fungal metabolites, penicipyrone (1), and penicilactone (2), were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Penicillium sp. PSU-F44 along with three known macrolides, (+)-brefeldin A (3), (+)-brefeldin C (4), and 7-oxobrefeldin A (5). Their antimicrobial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus SK1 and Microsporum gypseum SH-MU-4 were examined.
