Bioactive marine natural products, with emphasis on handling of water-soluble compounds

J Nat Prod. Mar-Apr 1985;48(2):223-35. doi: 10.1021/np50038a005.

Abstract

Recent progress in separation techniques has enabled us to work with water-soluble components which, more often than not, are responsible for biological activities found in marine organisms. Isolation techniques and chemical and biological aspects of water-soluble marine natural products will be discussed with some representative examples.
