Carrageenan oligosaccharides (COSs) possess versatile activities and have drawn increasing attention in recent years. Due to their unique structures, COSs have been considered to be potential antibacterial agents and immune stimulators. Herein, we ai...
Over the last decades, bioprospecting of tropical corals has revealed numerous bioactive compounds with potential for biotechnological applications. However, this search involves sampling in natural reefs, and this is currently hampered by multiple e...
Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) tropical race 4 (TR4), poses a severe threat to the global banana industry. The screening of endophytic fungi from the mangrove plant led to the identification of M...
Seven new (1–7) and six known (8–13) statin derivatives were obtained from the deep-sea-derived fungus Penicillium viridicatum MCCC 3A00265. The structures assigned to the new compounds were based on a comprehensive analysis of the spectr...
Marine phytoplankton is an emerging source of immunomodulatory bioactive lipids (BLs). Under physiological growth conditions and upon stress challenges, several eukaryotic microalgal species accumulate lipid metabolites that resemble the precursors o...
Sea anemone peptides represent a valuable class of biomolecules in the marine toxin library due to their various structures and functions. Among these, ShK domain peptides are particularly notable for their selective inhibition of the Kv1.3 channel,...
Background: Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental disease that is characterized by depressive and manic episodes. Antipsychotics and mood stabilizers are known therapies that work, but their restrictions and disadvantages resulted in the need for comp...
The cosmeceutical industry has increasingly turned its attention to marine macroalgae, recognizing their significant bioactive potential as sources of natural compounds for skincare applications. A growing number of products now incorporate extracts...
Fish body mucus plays a protective role, especially in Halobatrachus didactylus, which inhabits intertidal zones vulnerable to anthropogenic contaminants. In silico predicted bioactive peptides were identified in its body mucus, namely, EDNSELGQETPTL...
Background: Hypertension has been identified as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Given the prevalence of the adverse effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitory (ACEI) drugs, natural and effective alternatives to these me...
