The structural and chemical diversity of natural compounds represents a vast amount of potential in terms of new drug discovery. This project examines the cytotoxic potential of the marine natural product mandelalide A and seeks to understand whether or not exposure to this compound induces programmed cell death in cancer...
This study tested natural products from cyanobacteria from the Red Sea in Egypt and marine tunicates from the Algoa Bay in South Africa. Products from marine organisms have been used as lead compounds for the synthesis of new drugs because of their biological activity mechanism. Specifically, these products may contain...
