Bioactivities of Diterpenoids from Marine Algae

  • Chapter
Essential Oils and Waxes

Part of the book series: Modern Methods of Plant Analysis ((MOLMETHPLANT,volume 12))

Abstract

In the last decades, interest in marine organisms has risen sharply. As a result, notwithstanding that only a small proportion of the over 200 000 species thought to be present in the oceans has been examined to date, a great mass of biological and chemical data has been acquired. Particular attention has been given to secondary metabolites: indeed, their chemical structures are frequently unprecedented in terrestrial sources, and their pharmacological properties seem to be promising (Baker 1976; Kaul and Sinderman 1978; Fautin 1988). Furthermore, since secondary metabolites are involved in chemoreception in the marine ecosystem (Mackie and Grant 1974), the study of marine natural products is of interest not only in bioorganic chemistry and in the biomedical field, but also in chemical ecology.
