  • Novel bioactive secondary metabolites from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula

    Creator:
    Wu, Min, 1963-
    Abstract:
    Marine algae have been recognized as a rich resource of new and unusual organic molecules with diverse biological properties. The current need to develop new antifungal, anticancer, antibiotic and antiviral drugs has led to an intense research effort into the discovery, isolation and structure determination of potential medicinal agents from...

  • Natural products studies of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula

    Creator:
    Sitachitta, Namthip
    Abstract:
    The marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula has proven to be extraordinarily rich in bioactive secondary metabolites. This dissertation describes the chemistry of L. majuscula collected from Grenada, Fiji and Papua New Guinea, and the biosyntheses of two L. majuscula metabolites, curacin A and barbamide. The chemical studies with a Grenada collection...

  • Natural products studies of the marine cyanobacteria Lyngbya semiplena and Lyngbya majuscula

    Creator:
    Han, Bingnan
    Abstract:
    This thesis details my investigations of marine cyanobacterial natural products that resulted in the discovery of eighteen new secondary metabolites. Isolation and characterization of these unique molecules were carried out using different chromatographic techniques and by careful analyses of 1D and 2D NMR data, respectively. Preliminary bioassays of the crude...

  • Novel secondary metabolites from a Madagascar collection of Lyngbya majuscula

    Creator:
    Nannini, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    Marine organisms produce a variety of secondary metabolites for defense, communication, and reproduction. While these uses are essential for the organisms' survival, marine natural products have demonstrated their value to human society as well. Asian countries used algae for centuries to treat or prevent illnesses as wide-ranging as cough, gout,...

  • Biologically active cyclic depsipeptides from marine cyanobacteria

    Creator:
    Medina, Rebecca A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the chemical investigation of marine cyanobacteria collected in Madagascar and Panama with an emphasis on the isolation and structure elucidation of medicinally relevant secondary metabolites. A collection of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula from the Radames Islands, Madagascar yielded two new cyclic depsipeptides, radamamides A and B,...
