Biological activities of selected marine natural products.
Sixty-nine natural products derived from Phaeophyta (brown algae), Rhodophyta (red algae), Porifera (sponges), Cnidaria (soft corals), and Mollusca (nudibranchs) were investigated for their cytotoxic, antimalarial, and antimicrobial effects. Fifty-six were found to mediate a positive response in one or more of these test systems.
