An overview of odoriferous marine seaweeds of the Dictyopteris genus: insights into their chemical diversity, biological potential and ecological roles

α-Glucosidase Inhibition and Molecular Docking Studies of Natural Brominated Metabolites from Marine Macro Brown Alga Dictyopteris hoytii

“…Dictyopteris hoytii W. R. Taylor belongs to family Dictyotaceae and is known by its characteristic ocean smell [17]. The genus Dictyopteris comprises 35 taxonomically accepted species [18] and has attracted great attention from phytochemists in the middle of the 20th century.…”

Molecular networking prospection and characterization of terpenoids and C15-acetogenins in Brazilian seaweed extracts

“…40 LC1 and LC2, two extracts obtained from the same species of algae collected in relatively close islands from the Southern Brazilian Coast, interestingly supported this fact. For LC1, L. catarinensis collected in Xavier Island, three chamigrane-type sesquiterpenes (20, 21 and 27) were characterized; alongside with seven C 15 -acetogenins (18,19,22,23,24,25,26), while for LC2, L. catarinensis collected in Arvoredo Island, three compounds related to caespitol (12, 13 and 14) were suggested, together with four chamigrene-type sesquiterpenes (10,11,16,17). Previous chemical work with L. catarinensis collected in Arvoredo Island 41 found mostly caespitol-related metabolites, but no C 15-acetogenins.…”

“…While red algae of the genus Laurencia J. V. Lamouroux are rich in halogenated secondary metabolites, belonging mainly to the sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes, and C 15 -acetogenins classes, 9 brown alga of the genus Dictyopteris produce mainly C 11 -hydrocarbons, sesquiterpenes and sulfur-containing compounds. 10 In addition, Dictyota and Canistrocarpus are chemically composed of diterpenes. [11][12][13][14][15][16] The metabolites produced by algae mainly serve as chemical defenses against herbivorous or pathogenic micro-organisms.…”

“…16 Many of these metabolites have been conrmed as presenting anticoagulant, antifouling, antimicrobial, antioxidant, herbivore-deterrent and cytotoxic activities. 9,10,[17][18][19][20] This study reports an exploratory MN analysis of fourteen algae extracts of algae collected mostly from Brazilian oceanic islands and the characterization of terpenoids and C 15 -acetogenins from some of the analyzed species.…”

BioProspecting of the Adriatic Sea

“…S vremenom, broj identificiranih isparljivih spojeva morskih algi raste, 9,10 a provedena istraživanja opisana su u znanstvenim i preglednim radovima. 5,7,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Isparljivi spojevi morskih algi uključuju terpene, cikličke i acikličke C 11 -spojeve, masne kiseline, organske spojeve sa sumporom, halogenirane ugljikovodike i ostale spojeve s bromom, klorom i jodom te druge spojeve, 10,17 a njihov sastav ovisi o istraživanoj vrsti, geografskom podrijetlu, metodi izolacije i okolišnim čimbenicima. 18 Isparljivi spojevi morskih makroalgi imaju ulogu feromona, služe kao kemijska obrana od predatora te kao inhibitori bakterija i gljivica.…”
