The number of marine natural products (MNPs) that have been applied to biotechnological industry is very limited, although nearly 20 000 new compounds were discovered from marine organisms since the birth of MNPs in the early 1970s. However, it is apparent that they have a significant potential as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, research tools, and others. This article focuses on selective antitumor metabolites isolated from marine sponges and tunicates and their modes of action, as well as promising candidates for nontoxic antifoulants discovered from marine organisms.

The islands of the South Pacific Ocean have been in the limelight for natural product biodiscovery, due to their unique and pristine tropical waters and environment. The Kingdom of Tonga is an archipelago in the central Indo-Pacific Ocean, consisting of 176 islands, 36 of which are inhabited, flourishing with a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Many unique natural products with interesting bioactivities have been reported from Indo-Pacific marine sponges and other invertebrate phyla; however, there have not been any reviews published to date specifically regarding natural products from Tongan marine organisms. This review covers both known and new/novel Marine Natural Products (MNPs) and their biological activities reported from organisms collected within Tongan territorial waters up to December 2020, and includes 109 MNPs in total, the majority from the phylum Porifera. The significant biological activity of these metabolites was dominated by cytotoxicity and, by reviewing these natural products, it is apparent that the bulk of the new and interesting biologically active compounds were from organisms collected from one particular island, emphasizing the geographic variability in the chemistry between these organisms collected at different locations.

La búsqueda de productos naturales con actividad farmacológica a partir de esponjas marinas tiene un gran potencial debido a las interesantes actividades que algunos compuestos presentan en ensayos clínicos, principalmente en la búsqueda de compuestos anticancerígenos y antivirales. Sin embargo, también existen diversas problemáticas que pueden frenar el desarrollo de un nuevo compuesto. Por lo que en esta revisión se pretende dar un panorama general de las perspectivas y limitantes que se presentan en la búsqueda de nuevos compuestos a partir de esponjas en el medio natural, en el establecimiento de cultivos de esponjas, de primorfos y células madre como una alternativa o el aislamiento de bacterias asociadas a ellas que produzcan dichos metabolitos con la finalidad de realizar modificaciones genéticas que permitan una producción biotecnológica. Biotechnical potential of sponges in new pharmaceutics production: perspectives and limits The search for natural products with pharmacological activity of marine sponges has great potential due to the interesting activities that some compounds have in clinical trials, mainly in the search of anticancer and antiviral compounds. However, there are various problems that may limit the development of a new compound. In this review we intended to give an overview of the perspectives and limitations that occur in the search of new compounds from sponges of the natural environment, in the establishment of culture of sponges, primorph and steam cells as an alternative, or isolated bacteria from sponges which are the metabolites producers to development genetic modifications for a biotechnological production.

The Impact

Cancer remains one of the most lethal diseases worldwide. There is an urgent need for new drugs with novel modes of action and thus considerable research has been conducted for new anticancer drugs from natural sources, especially plants, microbes and marine organisms. Marine populations represent reservoirs of novel bioactive metabolites with diverse groups of chemical structures. This review highlights the impact of marine organisms, with particular emphasis on marine plants, algae, bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, sponges and soft corals. Anti-cancer effects of marine natural products in in vitro and in vivo studies were first introduced; their activity in the prevention of tumor formation and the related compound-induced apoptosis and cytotoxicities were tackled. The possible molecular mechanisms behind the biological effects are also presented. The review highlights the diversity of marine organisms, novel chemical structures, and chemical property space. Finally, therapeutic strategies and the present use of marine-derived components, its future direction and limitations are discussed.

: γ-Hydroxybutenolides (γ-HB) is an important structural core found in many bioactive marine natural products (MNPS). The γ-HB core containing NPS served as an inspiration to medicinal chemists to undertake designing of the new synthetic strategies to construct γ-HB core. Subsequently, it further results in the development of novel physiological and therapeutic agents. The most notable example includes manoalides, cacospongionolides, petrosaspongioide M and dysidiolide from marine sponges possessing anti-inflammatory properties. γ-HB containing MNPS were known to possess various pharmacological properties such as antimicrobial (acantholide B), cytotoxic (acantholide A-E, spongianolide A), inhibitors of secretory phospholipase A2 (cladocorans A and B), BACE inhibitors (ianthellidone G), etc. Moreover, the γ-HB moiety was explored as antifouling agents as well. Owing to their numerous biological activities and attractive molecular structures, there are lots of advances in the synthetic methodology of these compounds. This review gives the account on isolation and biological studies of MNPS with γ-HB skeleton as a core unit. Furthermore, the synthesis of selective γ-HB containing bioactive MNPS like manoalide, secomanoalide, cacospongionolides, luffarielloide and dysidiolide were highlighted in the article.

Novel Drug

Marine natural products (MNPs) continue to be in the spotlight in the global drug discovery endeavor. Currently, more than 30,000 structurally diverse secondary metabolites from marine sources have been isolated, making MNPs a profound, renewable source to investigate novel drug compounds. Marine sponges of the genus Suberea (family: Aplysinellidae) are recognized as producers of bromotyrosine derivatives, which are considered distinct chemotaxonomic markers for the marine sponges belonging to the order Verongida. This class of compounds exhibits structural diversity, ranging from simple monomeric molecules to more complex molecular scaffolds, displaying a myriad of biological and pharmacological potentialities. In this review, a comprehensive literature survey covering the period of 1998–2018, focusing on the chemistry and biological/pharmacological activities of marine natural products from marine sponges of the genus Suberea, with special attention to the biogenesis of the different skeletons of halogenated compounds, is presented.

Natural Product Research

Marine sponges, which belong to the phylum Porifera (Metazoa), are considered the single best source of marine natural products. Among them, members of the genus Aaptos are attractive targets for marine natural product research owing to their abundant biogenetic ability to produce aaptamine derivatives. Apart from aaptamine alkaloids, there are also reports of other compounds from Aaptos sponges. This work reviews the secondary metabolites isolated from Aaptos species from 1982 to 2020, with 46 citations referring to 62 compounds (47 for aaptamines and 15 for others). The emphasis is placed on the structure of the organic molecules, relevant biological activities, chemical ecology aspects, and biosynthesis studies, which are described in the classifications of aaptamines and other compounds in the order of the published year.
