Chemistry and biology of Cinachyrella a marine sponge
Author(s): Poonam Gupta
Abstract: Sponges are known to produce a wide range of secondary metabolites which have been reported to show different biological activities including cytotoxic activities, antibacterial, anticoagulant, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-tuberculosis, anti-malarial, anti-platelet, haemolytic and anti-cancer activities. They also provide a vast range of chemical compounds of different classes with unique structures. Considering such large bioactivities and versatile chemical classes of compounds, the sponges have a wide scope in a quest to find new chemical entities in drug discovery process. Many different classes of compounds have been isolated from the sponge Cinachyrella which have also been reported to show biological activities. This review article compiles the chemical constituents isolated from Cinachyrella and their bioactivities.
