Bioactive marine natural products, with emphasis on handling of water-soluble compounds.
Recent progress in separation techniques has enabled us to work with water-soluble components which, more often than not, are responsible for biological activities found in marine organisms. Isolation techniques and chemical and biological aspects of water-soluble marine natural products will be discussed with some representative examples.
