2-(2,4-Dibromophenoxy)-4,6-dibromophenol isolated from the marine sponge Dysidea granulosa (Bergquist) collected off the coast of Lakshadweep islands, Indian Ocean, exhibited potent and broad spectrum in-vitro antibacterial activity, especially against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), vancomycin resistant Enterococci (VRE), vancomycin sensitive Enterococci (VSE) and Bacillus spp. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was evaluated against 57 clinical and standard strains of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The observed MIC range was 0.117-2.5 μg/mL against all the Gram positive bacteria and 0.5-2 μg/mL against Gram negative bacteria. The in-vitro antibacterial activity observed was better than that of the standard antibiotic linezolid, a marketed anti-MRSA drug. The results establish 2-(2,4-dibromophenoxy)-4,6-dibromophenol, as a potential lead molecule for anti-MRSA and anti-VRE drug development.

Please refer to the accompanying glossary for definitions of the descriptive terms used in this report.. Species Description. The ethereal sponge, Dysidea etheria is a massive to semi-encrusting, commonly lobate species (Wiedenmayer 1977). The lobes are often elongate, lamellar or digitate. Live specimens are light blue throughout, although the exopinacoderm may be brownish grey. The consistency in life is softly spongy, highly compressible and limp. Dried specimens are quite fragile. Sharply pointed conules 3 mm apart and at least 1 mm high adorn the sponge surface. The oscules are frequently located on the tops of the lobes, 5-10 mm wide, with thin, transparent iris-membranes. The openings in the oscular membranes are sometimes compound. The exopinacoderm is thin and semitransparent, and the choanosome is fleshy. The skeleton is an irregular, loose fibroreticulation, with white fibers loaded with calcareous debris. The secondaries are not very distinct and contain less foreign material. The ...

The sesquiterpene hydroquinone avarol (1) was isolated from the marine sponge Dysidea avara, whereas the corresponding quinone, avarone (2), was obtained by oxidation of avarol, and the significantly more lipophilic compounds [3-(p-chloro-phenyl)avarone (3), 3,4-ethylenedithioavarone (4), 4-isopropylthioavarone (5), 4-tert-butylthioavarone (6), 4-propylthioavarone (7), 4-octylthioavarone (8)] were obtained by nucleophilic addition of thiols or p-chloroaniline to avarone. All these compounds were tested, at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 50 μg/mL, for their effect on the settlement of the cyprid stage of Balanus amphitrite, for toxicity to both nauplii and cyprids and for their growth inhibitory activity on marine bacteria (Cobetia marina, Marinobacterium stanieri, Vibrio fischeri and Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis) and marine fungi (Halosphaeriopsis mediosetigera, Asteromyces cruciatus, Lulworthia uniseptata and Monodictys pelagica).

Has been working with sponges for about 12 years now. Mainly on secondary metabolites and on algal/sponge symbioses. The main organism to keep him occupied has been Dysidea herbacea, and his group is now focusing mainly on Ceratodictyon spongiosum. His interests are how sponge/algal symbioses work, and their role in the overall energetic balance for the organisms. He is also interested in the role of sponges in marine, especially tropical, ecosystems. He points out that he is primarily a phycologist who has stumbled onto sponges, rather than the other way around, but has 1 Phd and 1 honours student working on sponges. ...

Previous studies on the secondary metabolites of Formosan octocoral Isis hippuris were collected only at Green Island. In the course of our studies on secondary metabolites from marine organisms, the acetone-solubles of the Formosan octocoral Isis hippuris collected at Orchid Island has led to the isolation of eleven polyoxygenated steroids (1-11), along with two known compounds (12 and 13). The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic and physical data, including NMR, IR, MS, etc. The cytotoxicity against of A-549 (human lung epithelial carcinoma), HT-29 (human colon adenocarcinoma), and P-388 (mouse lymphocytic leukemia) cells, and anti-HCMV (human cytomegalovirus) activity of metabolites 1-13 were evaluated. Compounds 12 and 13 displayed cytotoxicity against P-388 cell line with ED50 values of 3.2 and 3.6 μg/mL, respectively. Compound 12 exhibited cytotoxicity against A-549 cell line with an ED50 value of 3.8 μg/mL. Compound 8 exhibit inhibitory ...

Plastic piping? Joining that stuff to create a leak-free system isnt quite as simple as it may seem. A good friend lives in a high rise condo in Vancouver. The entire water supply system in the building had to be re-plumbed years after construction because it was leaking; the plumber whod done the work evidently didnt know how to glue the joints..

Nine small-sized (15-50 cm3) D. avara specimens were collected at 9-12 m depth on pieces of native rock from the LEscala region in northeastern Spain. Specimens were transported to The Netherlands and maintained in a 550 l aquarium with biofiltration. Over the entire three months period of this study, sponges were fed two times a day with marine broths made from fish and shrimps, and/or manufactured shellfish diets (INVE, Belgium CAR-1), and three to four times a week with cultured microalgae (Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Nannochloropsis sp.): initial concentrations were 2×10−5 to 3×10−5 particles ml−1.. Inflow/outflow velocities, flow rates and local background velocities (LBV) were derived using particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) in a 7.5 l flow tank (figure 4 in the electronic supplementary material). A mixture of 0.5-6.0 μm in diameter hollow glass beads (J. J. Bos, NL) was seeded onto the flow tank (approx. 100 000 particles ml−1) to reflect laser light and trace flow streamlines ...

Any breach of the clauses in contract duly signed by the grantee can result in the Filmocracy Foundation exiting the collaboration with the filmmaker with immediate effect. 29.

I woke up during the night with a feeling of pressure in my bladder. The bag had filled up so I had to call a nurse to empty it. After that they started checking regularly.. I was woken again by an erection at about 05:30. It was very painful but it was a relief to know that things were still working. After a second one I was kind of scared to go back to sleep so I just read. Bright sunshine was already coming in through the windows at 06:30.. The nurses came around eight but kept being distracted by other patients. They told me theyd rearrange all my tubes so that I could get up but by then it was breakfast time. Egg, bread, cheese and ham and I even managed to drink the coffee once Id let it cool down.. My re-plumbing was delayed again waiting for the surgeons round. When he appeared he told me it had gone well. The stricture was about 1.5 cm (as theyd seen on the urethrogram) but theyd had to repair about 5 cm of unviable urethra (scarring from the urethrotomy?). I asked him about the ...

N2 - Ligand binding studies on human serum albumin (HSA) are crucial in determining the pharmacological properties of drug candidates. Here, two representatives of coumarin-chalcone hybrids were selected and their binding mechanism was identified via thermodynamics techniques, curve resolution analysis and computational methods at molecular levels. The binding parameters were derived using spectroscopic approaches and the results point to only one pocket located near the Trp214 residue in subdomain IIA of HSA. The protein tertiary structure was altered during ligand binding and formed an intermediate structure to create stronger ligand binding interactions. The ...

Two pyridoacridines, N-hydroxymethylisocystodamine (1) and neolabuanine A (2), together with the known ecionine A (3), ecionine B (4), isocystodamine (5), N-methylisocystodamine (6), 9-hydroxyisoascididemin (7), and biemnadin (8), were isolated from a marine sponge Biemna sp. Several of these compounds were shown to induce cell differentiation of K562 leukemia cells into erythrocytes. Following inspection of the NMR data, and comparison of these data with literature values, we demonstrated that neolabuanine A (2) had the structure previously reported as labuanine A (2), and that the compound initially reported under the name of labuanine A possessed the structure assigned to ecionine A (3). We found that both neolabuanine A (2) and ecionine A (3) were gradually converted to 9-hydroxyisoascididemin (7), indicating that 2 and 3 can be considered both as precursors of 7.

It has been reported that netted muskmelons (Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis) treated with moist heat (steam or hot-water immersion) have reduced populations of vegetative surface organisms that may be responsible for spoilage, or that may be pathogenic to consumers. It is unknown, however, what affect a similar heat treatment may have on infesting bacterial endospores (which are dormant, nonreproductive structures that are resistant to environmental stress). Also, any heat treatment used must be effective without exceeding the treated melons thermal damage threshold. In this study, natural microflora on muskmelon rind pieces treated from 75 to 95 °C for 3 minutes and whole fruit rinds inoculated with Bacillus atrophaeus spores and treated at 85 °C for 3 minutes were observed as a model system to explore the efficacy of moist heat in reducing surface populations of bacterial spores. There were significant reductions in populations of aerobic, nonspore-forming microbes, although the treatments ...
