Bioassay-directed purification of a tumor cell-growth inhibitory fraction of the organic extract of the Red Sea cyanobacterium afforded a new compound, malyngamide 4 (1), together with five previously reported compounds, malyngamide A (2) and B (3), (S)-7-methoxytetradec-4(E)-enoic acid (lyngbic acid, 4), aplysiatoxin (5) and debromoaplysiatoxin (6). Assignment of the planar structures of these compounds was based on extensive analysis of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectra and high-resolution mass spectrometric data. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against three cancer cell lines. In addition, the antibacterial activity of the compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv ATCC 27294 (H37Rv) was evaluated. Lyngbic acid (4) was the most active against M. tuberculosis, while malyngamides 4 (1) and B (3) moderately inhibited the cancer cell lines. The other compounds were deemed inactive at the test concentrations.

Triterpene saponins are the main chemical constituents of potential interest for the body health and food industry in sea cucumber. Moreover, the importance of saponins is increasing in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors because of their physicochemical (surfactant) properties and mounting evidence on their biological activity. Although, sea cucumber (Bohadschia cousteaui) has high antifungal, antiprotozoal and anticancer activities, no chemical study of its secondary metabolites has been previously realized.The present work deals with the extraction, isolation and structure elucidation of twenty one triterpene glycosides present in a methanol / methylene chloride extract of the body walls of Bohadschia cousteaui. Ten new saponins called coustesides A (1), B (3), C (9), D (10), E (11), F (12), G (15), H (16), I (17), and J (18), together with eleven known glycosides were isolated by reversed phase semi-preparative HPLC. The structures of these compounds were mainly determined by spectroscopic methods including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (Ms) techniques. The isolated compounds were usually of the lanosterol-type with a 18(20)-lactone and sugar chain of up to six non-sulfated monosaccharide units generally linked to the C-3 of the aglycon, which are composed of D-xylose, D-quinovose, D-glucose and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. Most of isolated compounds showed good antifungal activity against candida albicans. Sea cucumber (Bohadschia cousteaui) is a rich source of biologically active saponins. Therefore, sea cucumbers are eaten for their therapeutic values as nutraceutical food than for their seafood taste. Key words: Bohadschia cousteaui, Sea cucumber, Sea food, Saponins, Holostane-type triterpene, Cousteosides, Bioactive compounds.

The antibacterial activity of aqueous root extracts of Salvadora persica L. were evaluated on the microbial growth of different bacterial strains by determining inhibition ratio. In addition, these aqueous extracts were tested as natural preservative agents in chicken burger by estimating the total bacterial count and sensory quality characteristics of products. The extracts were prepared by soaking miswak's root in distilled water (10g/100ml, w/v) for 24 and 48 hrs. All tested extracts exhibited effectiveness for preventing growth of some spoilage bacteria, but the 48 hrs extract showed the strongest inhibitory effects against the bacterial growth of (Streptococus mitis, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus sabtilis, Pseudomonas earuginosa, E. c...

Bioassay-directed purification of a tumor cell-growth inhibitory fraction of the organic extract of the Red Sea cyanobacterium afforded a new compound, malyngamide 4 (1), together with five previously reported compounds, malyngamide A (2) and B (3), (S)-7-methoxytetradec-4(E)-enoic acid (lyngbic acid, 4), aplysiatoxin (5) and debromoaplysiatoxin (6). Assignment of the planar structures of these compounds was based on extensive analysis of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectra and high-resolution mass spectrometric data. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against three cancer cell lines. In addition, the antibacterial activity of the compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv ATCC 27294 (H37Rv) was evaluated. Lyngbic acid (4) was the most active against M. tuberculosis, while malyngamides 4 (1) and B (3) moderately inhibited the cancer cell lines. The other compounds were deemed inactive at the test concentrations.

Triterpene saponins are the main chemical constituents of potential interest for the body health and food industry in sea cucumber. Moreover, the importance of saponins is increasing in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors because of their physicochemical (surfactant) properties and mounting evidence on their biological activity. Although, sea cucumber (Bohadschia cousteaui) has high antifungal, antiprotozoal and anticancer activities, no chemical study of its secondary metabolites has been previously realized.The present work deals with the extraction, isolation and structure elucidation of twenty one triterpene glycosides present in a methanol / methylene chloride extract of the body walls of Bohadschia cousteaui. Ten new saponins called coustesides A (1), B (3), C (9), D (10), E (11), F (12), G (15), H (16), I (17), and J (18), together with eleven known glycosides were isolated by reversed phase semi-preparative HPLC. The structures of these compounds were mainly determined by spectroscopic methods including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (Ms) techniques. The isolated compounds were usually of the lanosterol-type with a 18(20)-lactone and sugar chain of up to six non-sulfated monosaccharide units generally linked to the C-3 of the aglycon, which are composed of D-xylose, D-quinovose, D-glucose and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. Most of isolated compounds showed good antifungal activity against candida albicans. Sea cucumber (Bohadschia cousteaui) is a rich source of biologically active saponins. Therefore, sea cucumbers are eaten for their therapeutic values as nutraceutical food than for their seafood taste. Key words: Bohadschia cousteaui, Sea cucumber, Sea food, Saponins, Holostane-type triterpene, Cousteosides, Bioactive compounds.
