title: In vitro antiviral activity on dengue virus of marine natural products.
abstract: Metabolites isolated from marine invertebrates, callipeltin A, crambescidin, ptilomycalin A, celeromycalin, gymnochrome B, gymnochrome D and isogymnochrome D previously shown bioactive on either herpes simplex virus 1 or human immunodeficiency virus, were tested on a new in vitro bioassay using the dengue virus 1. Only gymnochrome D and isogymnochrome D isolated from the living fossil crinoid Gymnocrinus richeri are highly potent dengue antiviral agents.
