Pseudopterogorgia species biological activity

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF METABOLITES DERIVED FROM MARINE SEA PLUMES, PSEUDOPTEROGORGIA SPECIES OF GORGONIAN OCTACORALS... [Pg.153]

As the metabolites of the different species of Pseudopterogorgia exihibit a wide scope of biological activities, we found it important to present an overview of the biological activity of its major groups of metabolite (table 7). [Pg.179]

Table . Biological Activities of Major Metabolites from Pseudopterogorgia Species...

Sea whips encompass widely diverse morphologies among soft-bodied marine invertebrates and are readily abundant in reef environments. As documented by Pawlik [4], and Fenical and coworkers [59], this genus of soft corals has fleshy tissues that appear to be physically unprotected from potential predators, yet seem to be unmolested and have only a few predators. Analysis of the wide spectrum of the potent biologically active metabolites of Pseudopterogorgia presented in table 7 may offer a possible explanation of the seemingly few predators of this specie.
