The inherent value of nature is immeasurable. That being said, through bioprospection – the systematic search for functional products or processes from living organisms –, the oceans and marine life have emerged as a relevant source of biodiscoveries that hold significant economic worth. Particularly considering the pharmaceutical industry, an increasing number of natural molecules of marine origin have been ma...
Natural products exhibit a fundamental role in the discovery of new medicines. Marine natural products possess a huge chemical and pharmacological potential to yield new leads. Previous results support the promising chemical and pharmacological potential of the zoanthid Protopalythoa variabilis from the coast of Ceara State. On the other hand, strong evidences have indicated that associated microorganisms are t...
