ANTIVIRAL COMPOUNDS
Many marine microorganisms have been screened for antiviral activity and wide range of active compounds have been reported, but only few compounds are reported to have significant therapeutic activity and these are:
Antiviral and Anti HIV agents: Laminaran species from brown algae are reported to have antiviral, anti HIV and anticoagulant activity.
Ara-A (Fig. 10.7): It is a semi-synthetic comp­ound based on the arabinosyl nucleosides isolated from the sponge Tectitethya crypta.

CYTOTOXIC COMPOUNDS
Large number of compounds isolated from marine organisms have been tested for cytotoxicity in the search for drugs active against cancer. Among all, the best known novel compounds with high potential as anticancer drugs are found to be macrolides, known as bryostatins isolated primarily from the bryozoan, Bugula neritina and later some have been extracted from sponges and tunicates.

Eptatretin is a potent cardiac stimulant, having direct action on mammalian myocardium as produced by epinephrine and digitalis glyco­sides. It is obtained from aneural bronchial heart of the Pacific hagfish Eptatretus stoutii.
D-octopamine is an amine found in salivary glands of Octopus spp. O. vulgaris, O. macropus and Eledone moschata. It is a potent cardiotonic.

PROSTAGLANDINS
The term prostaglandin is often abbreviated as PG, PGE
, denotes a prostaglandin of the E
2
series with two double bonds.
Prostaglandins are a family of cyclic oxygena-
ted, C
fatty acid (prostanoic acid, (Fig. 10.14)
20
derivative substances which consist of a cyclopentane ring with two side chains having 7 and 8 carbon atoms, respectively. The carboxylic group is present on C
chain and a C8 chain

with methyl terminus. Prostaglandins are biosynthesised from three essential fatty acids,

eicosatrienoic (dihomo-γ-linolenic acids),
Δ

acid) and Δ
eicosatetraenoic acid (arachidonic

eicosapentaenoic acid, which yield prostaglandins of the 1-, 2- and 3­series respectively known as PGE
(Fig. 10.15).

Fig. 10.14: Prostanoic acid
Name prostaglandins was given due to the fact that they were first discovered in seminal fluid, although later on, it was reported that they are not only produced in the prostate gland but occur practically in all mammal organs although in very small amounts. PGE and PGF1 were initially isolated from sheep seminal plasma but these compounds and
, PGE2 and PGF2a are widely distributed.
PGD

Animal source cannot supply sufficient amounts for drug usage. The soft Coral Plexaura homomalla (sea whip) from Caribbean has been reported to have very high (2–3%) level of prostaglandin esters, predominantly, the C-15 epimer of PGA
(1–2%) with related
2
structures. Prostaglandins of A-, E- and F-type (Fig. 10.16) are widely distributed in soft corals, especially Plexaura. Although some synthetic prostaglandins are also available, but it is reported that biological activity is effectively confined to the natural enantiomers; the Unnatural enantiomers of
had only 0.1% of the activity of the
PGE
1
natural isomer.

activity. It causes contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle of the uterus, cardiovascular system, the intestinal tract and of bronchial tissue. They may also inhibit gastric acid secretion, control blood pressure and suppress blood platelet aggregation.
As such they are inactive but on modi­fication, the inactive compounds become active. Six different series (A-E) produced by modification of the cyclopentane ring are now available as synthetic products. They can be useful in birth control, induced child birth, abortion, menstruation problem, peptic ulcers, treatment of asthma, regulation of blood pressure and tranquillising effect on CNS.

obtained from the caribbean gorgonial Plexaura
homomalla in high concentration. Some prosta- glandins have also been isolated from red algae Gracilaria lichenoides, i.e. PGE
, which

have antitumour activity. The inactive 15-epi
PGA2 and its diester have been converted into useful prostaglandins (15s) PGA
. Active (15s) PGA2 and (15s) PGE
