Chapter 5 Impacts and Environmental Risks of Oil Spills on Marine Invertebrat…
Marine invertebrates and macrophytes are sensitive to the toxic effects of oil. Depending on the intensity, duration and circumstances of the exposure, they can suffer high levels of initial mortality together with prolonged sublethal effects that can act at individual, population and community levels. Under some circumstances, recovery from these impacts can take years to decades. However, eff…

Bioactive Marine Heterocyclic Compounds
Exploration for specialized metabolites of Okinawan marine sponges Agelas spp. resulted in the isolation of five new bromopyrrole alkaloids, agesasines A (1) and B (2), 9-hydroxydihydrodispacamide (3), 9-hydroxydihydrooroidin (4), and 9E-keramadine (5). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses. Agesasines A (1) and B (2) were assigned as rare bromopyrrole alka…
