Biological Activity of Recently Discovered Halogenated Marine Natural Products

Gordon W Gribble. Mar Drugs. .

Abstract

This review presents the biological activity-antibacterial, antifungal, anti-parasitic, antiviral, antitumor, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and enzymatic activity-of halogenated marine natural products discovered in the past five years. Newly discovered examples that do not report biological activity are not included.

Keywords: antibacterial; antiinflammatory; antioxidant; antiparasitic; antitumor; antiviral; natural products; organobromine; organochlorine; organohalogen.
