Abstract
The chemical examination of the soft coral Sclerophytum levi collected from the Red Sea led to isolation and structurally elucidation of a new mono- acyl glycerol ester, [(2R)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl] (2R)-2-hydroxypentadecanoate (1), along with myristyl palmitate (2), (Z)-2-(9-octadecenyloxy) ethanol (3), 24-methylene cholesterol (4) and 23-demethylgorgosterol (5). The chemical composition of the isolated metabolites was determined via optimised spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR analyses. The new mono alkyl glycerate (m-AG) showed moderate antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans microbial strains using agar well diffusion method and recorded a weak in vitro cytotoxic and antioxidant activities.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
