  • The combined use of the J-modulated selective INEPT and CSCM 1DNMR techniques is described for the structure elucidation of several new classes of compound including prionitin, the loureirins and larreantin, and for the regiosubstitution of the furanonaphthoquinones. Spectroscopic studies on the conformation of the cytotoxic agent savinin are also described, together with the NMR assignments and preliminary biosynthetic experiments on the antitumor antibiotic staurosporine.

  • One of the major focuses and perhaps the greatest challenges during the past decade in the discipline of immunotoxicology has been the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms responsible for immunotoxicity by specific agents. Much is currently understood about the basic underlying intracellular processes that control leukocyte effector function. This fundamental information in cell biology can now be applied toward developing systematic approaches, through the application of cell and molecular biology techniques, to identify the intracellular targets and processes disrupted by immunotoxicants. The objective of this paper is two fold. First to discuss fundamental principles of experimental design aimed at elucidation of cellular mechanisms in immunotoxicology; and second to discuss the application of molecular biology techniques in characterizing the mechanism of TCDD-induced B cell dysfunction as a working example.

  • Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. According to the 2018 reports, one in six people worldwide is reported to die as a result of cancer. The discovery of anticancer drugs has been utilized extensively, but there has been no report on excellent selective activity in cancer cells. The discovery of bioactive substances from marine sponges has been the limelight in the pharmaceutical field over the past decade owing to the production of many bioactive compounds from the sponges to protect themselves against the environment. On top of that, marine sponges also produced cytotoxic compounds such as terpenoids, alkaloids, steroids, and peptides which suggests that marine sponges have high potential in the development of anticancer drugs. Thus, this study aimed to obtain new cytotoxic compounds from S. siphonella in Egypt and Arenoscelra sp. and Gelliodes sp. in Vietnam, and further investigation of the extract from these marine sponges led to isolation of ten new compounds and 21 known compounds. Chapter 1 will discuss about the isolation and structure elucidation of eight new polyacetylene derivatives from S. siphonella and their cytotoxic activities. The isolation and structural elucidation of one new polybrominated iododiphenyl ether from Arenosoclea sp. as well as cytotoxic activities of the isolated compounds will be reported in chapter 2. Finally, isolation and structure elucidation of new compounds from the marine sponge Gelliodes sp. and their cytotoxic activities will be discussed in chapter 3.
