During the past few years several reports have appeared which describe the occurrence of btomocompounds also in sponges and now the Porifera phylum appears as one of the richest sources of bromine-containing metabolites. The next subsection considers the tyrosine-derived bromo compounds the bromopyrrole derivatives and miscellaneous metabolites are reviewed in subsection 1.2. 

The quantification of short-chain metabolites from nonylphenol ethoxy-lates (NPEOs) has been carried out in different ways because of the lack of individual standards. Thus, several authors have employed commercial mixtures with low ethoxylation degree and assuming similar molar response factors, such as Marlophen 83 with an average of 3.5 mol of ethylene oxide (EO) [1-5], Imbentin-N/7A, a mixture of NPEOi and NPEO2 (75 25) [6-11] or a mixture of miscellaneous origin [12,13], to quantify NPEOi and NPEO2. 

Other miscellanous thiazole-containing metabolites were obtained from a variety of marine organisms. Compounds 448 and 449 were isolated from the tunicate Aplidium pliciferum and their structures were established from spectral data and confirmed by synthesis [349]. Very few secondary metabolites have been reported from hydroids. The thiazole tridentatol C...

In summary, 150 secondary metabolites, besides those common compositions of the plant, have been found and isolated from A. annua, including compounds isolated from endophytes inside A. annua. To date, all phytochemical studies in relation to A. annua have led to 60 sesquiterpenes 16 mono-, di-, and ttiterpenes 46 flavonoids 7 coumarins 9 miscellaneous components and 13 endophyte-produced natural products. 

The success of HPLC in forensic science is not due solely to these general developments. In-house research and development work has made a significant contribution and this has been, and still is, essential because of specific problems which are experienced in the analysis of casework samples. As a result of these developments, HPLC is now used extensively for the analysis of drugs, metabolites, rodenticides, anions, sugars, dyes, polymers, optical brighteners, explosives, fatty acids and other miscellaneous compounds. 

Chlorophenols are a class of pesticide substances, e.g. fungicides, used for wood preservation, in pulp production and other miscellaneous applications. The substances were introduced in the 1930s and have been used in very large amounts. Today, the consumption has decreased and the substances are banned in many countries. The main active substance in chlorophenol products is pentachloro-phenol (PCP Figure 3.10). The substance is moderately lipophilic and persistent, yet readily absorbed and accumulated in biota and expresses a rather high acute toxicity. The metabolism and breakdown of this envirotoxicant in biota and in the environment are rather slow, resulting in successively dechlorinated metabolites.

Actinomycetes, primarily streptomycetes, are capable of producing highly odorous volatile metabolites in low yields in submerged culture. This subject has been reviewed in detail(37). Among the more important volatiles identified ares geosmin, the earthy odor, methyl isoborneol, having a camphor or menthol odor 2-methoxy-3-isopropyl pyrazine, with a musty vegetable odor and miscellaneous compounds such as sesquiterpenoids and lactones.

Miscellaneous compounds of pharmacological interest have been shown to inhibit aromatase in vitro, including the antimalarial drug mefloquine, [138], the oral hypoglycaemic agent, tolbutamide [139], and nicotine, its metabolite cotinine, and anabasine, all of which are found in tobacco [140]. These effects probably have little clinical relevance, although the latter three compounds may account for the reduced urinary [141] and plasma [142] oestrogen concentrations found in smokers [140],... 

Over the last seventy years over sixty species of Aristolochia have been exploited for chemical examination by research groups throughout the world and a variety of compounds have been isolated. The spectrum of physiologically-active metabolites from Aristolochia species covers 14 major groups based on structure aristolochic acid derivatives, aporphines, amides, benzylisoquinolines, isoquinolones, chlorophylls, terpenoids, lignans, biphenyl ethers, flavonoids, tetralones, benzenoids, steroids, and miscellaneous. The aristolochic acid derivatives, host of phenanthrene derived metabolites were further classified into aristolochic acids, sodium salts of aristolochic acids, aristolochic acid alkyl esters, sesqui- and diterpenoid esters of aristolochic acids, aristolactams, denitroaristolochic acids, and aristolactones. The terpenoids can further be subdivided into 4 groups mono-, sesqui-, di- and tetraterpenoids. 

Miscellaneous - Comprehensive studies on some acidic dioxolsoquinollne-4-carboxanilides (18) have been reported. ° Compounds 18a and 18b were approximately equipotent (CE) to phenylbutazone. Compound 18c is the major human metabolite of 18a. Tesicam (18b) is In the clinic for evaluation in inflammatory diseases.
