Marine ecosystems are often characterized by a high biological diversity, and it corresponds to a high chemical diversity. Up to present, more than 20,000 new bioactive substances have been isolated from marine organisms, where considerable numbers of these naturally occurring derivatives are developed as potential candidates for pharmaceutical application. In this process, screening of natural products from marine organisms that could potentially inhibit the expression of metalloproteinases has gained a huge popularity. Cancer is considered as one of the deadliest diseases in the medical field. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) can degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) components and play important roles in a variety of biological and pathological processes. Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs) have been identified as potential therapeutic candidates for metastasis, arthritis, chronic inflammation and wrinkle formation.

V. parahaemolyticus is a species of gram- negative asperogenous rod which gives rise to gastroenteritis in man and widely distributed in Korea. In this study, the distribution of V. parahaemolyticus among sea water and various marine products in Inchcon during the period of July 1984 to August 1984 was studied. The following results were obtained: 1. V. parahacmolyticus were isolated from 16(15.4%) of 104 specimens of sea water and various marine products. 8 strains(11.0%) were from fish and marine products 3 (25.0%) from aquarium watar, 3 from chopping board 1 from sea water and 1 from sea water in basin. 2. Among the 14 strains tested, 10 were Kanagawa phenomenon positive and 4 were negative. 3. 16 strains were tested for K antigens and 3 were found to be $K_{17}$, 1 each of $K_{22}, K_{25}, K_{34}$ and $K_{57}$. 7 strains were not agglutinated with any K-type multiserum.

다양한 생리활성을 가지는 marine natural products는 일반적인 secondary metabolites와 유사한 구조를 가지는데, 염소, 브롬, 요오드의 할로겐 원소에 의해 수식이 되어있는 것이 일반적이다. Vanadium haloperoxidase는 이러한 marine natural products의 생산에 중요한 효소로 vanadate를 조효소로 하는 금속효소이다. 본 리뷰에서는 vanadium haloperoxidase의 분리와 단백질 구조를 살펴보고, 이 금속효소의 작용기작에 대해서 설명할 것이다. 마지막으로, vanadium haloperoxidase의 반응성과 secondary metabolites 중 indole, terpenoids, acetogenins의 생합성 예를 살펴볼 것이다.

Comprehensive chemical analysis of extracts and fractions of marine actinomycete strains led to the discovery of a new minor secondary metabolite, salternamide E (1), from a saltern-derived halophilic Streptomyces strain. The planar structure of salternamide E (1) was elucidated by a combinational analysis of spectroscopic data including NMR, MS, UV, and IR. The absolute configuration of salternamide E (1) was determined by circular dichroism spectroscopic analysis. Salternamide E displayed weak cytotoxicity against various human carcinoma cell lines.

Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of cholesterol ester and triglyceride between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and other low-density lipoproteins, therefore, it might influence HDL levels. The levels of HDL is closely related to the atherogenic diseases in human and there were several reports that the trasgenic mice expressing CETP had much worse atherosclerosis than non-expressing control one. Therefore, selective inhibitors of CETP have the potential to be used as antiatherosclerotic agents. Continued screening for potent inhibitors of CETP led to the isolation of Suberitenone B from marine sponge. Suberitenone B, sesterterpenoids of a new skeletal class have been isolated from the sponge Suberites sp. collected from King George Island the Antartic. The structure of the metabolite has been determined by NMR experiments and chemical methods.

Off the 1,572 km long coastline of Namibia lies known as the Benguela upwelling system, a very rich source of marine life supporting traditional and modern forms of fishery. Commercial fishing and fish processing is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the Namibian economy in terms of employment, export earnings, and contribution to GDP. The fishing industry has grown to the extent that it is currently Namibia's second biggest export earner of foreign currency after mining (90% of national output is marketed for export). In 2005, Namibia harvested about 552,164 tonnes of fish. The final value of processed products (export value) that year was around US$ 376.0 million. Besides the marine captured fisheries, Namibia also has a small but vibrant aquaculture sector. Inland captured fisheries exist in the north-east and north-west of Namibia where as commercial freshwater aquaculture of tilapia and catfish is also undertaken. The inland fisheries are mainly subsistence based and typically labour intensive, with low catch per unit effort. However the subsistence fisheries from these regions play a significant role in the lives of rural community. The domestic market for marine fish products is extremely limited due to the small size of the population (2 million). The fishing industry is a source of considerable employment for many Namibians. Huge potential to increase production exists in Namibia, unpolluted high quality marine waters, high natural primary productivity of the seawater, availability of inexpensive fish by-products from established fish processing sector for inclusion in wet aqua-feeds and well-established processing, packaging and marketing systems due to the marine capture fisheries that can be adopted for aquaculture purpose.

This paper deals mainly with chemical and biological investigations, recently effected in the authors' laboratory, of Chinese tropical marine plants and invertebrates on three topics: 1) an unusual macrocyclic polydisulfide from the Chinese mangrove Bruguiera gymnorrhiza; 2) polyhydroxylpolyene compounds from marine dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp.; 3) two new series of uncommon steroids from marine in vertebrates.

Bone health is maintained by balance between bone resorption and bone formation, and bone homeostasis requires balanced interactions between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Most of drugs and functional foods for bone health have been developed as bone resorption inhibitors, which maintain bone mass by inhibiting the function of osteoclasts. The recent studies have shown beneficial effects of marine natural products on bone health. Therefore, this review is aimed to study effects of marine-derived natural substances on osteoarthritis inhibition via attenuation of MMPs and osteoblastic differentiation via activation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteoclacin (OC), bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) as an important factor for bone formation, and mineralization. The present review can provide new insights in the osteoblastic differentiation of marine natural products and possibility for their application in bone health supplement.

LC-MS/MS를 이용한 말라카이트 그린 유효성 검증결과 결정계수($R^2$)가 0.9996이상으로 높은 직선성을 보여주었으며 회수율은 어종에 따라 69.8%에서 93.9%범위를 보였다. 검출한계는 $0.013{\mu}g/kg$, 정량한계는 $0.038{\mu}g/kg$으로 CODEX의 가이드라인을 만족하였다. 수거된 어류 200건에서 말라카이트 그린을 분석한 결과, HPLC-DAD로는 1건이 검출되었으나, LC-MS/MS로 분석시 검출률은 18.5%였다. 본 연구 결과, LC-MS/MS를 이용한 말라카이트 그린 분석법이 우리나라에서 많이 소비되는 담수어종에서 분석에 적합하며, 1건을 제외한 모든 시료에서 식품공전의 잔류허용기준 이하로 말라카이트 그린이 검출되어서 안전한 것으로 나타났다. 다만 식품공전의 검출한계 이하로 말라카이트 그린이 검출되는 빈도가 18.5%임을 볼 때, 지속적으로 감시하고 모니터링 할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.
