Infection

Arsenobetaine is an organoarsenical and a compatible solute that has been found in various marine animals, such as lobsters and crabs, as well as terrestrial organisms, including earthworms and lichens. Arsenobetaine is protective against B. subtilis cell death induced by high osmolarity or extreme temperatures when used at a concentration of 1 mM .

Cat. No.: HY-184852
CAS No.: 151-41-7
Synonyms: Dodecyl hydrogen sulphate; Dodecyl sulfate
Lauryl sulfate (Dodecyl hydrogen sulphate) is an anionic chaotropic surfactant. Lauryl sulfate dissolves viral envelopes, denatures viral proteins, inhibits viral infectivity and HIV-1 syncytium formation. Lauryl sulfate potently inhibits the infectivity of HSV-1 strain F (ED50 = 17.9 μM) and HSV-2 strain 333 (ED50 = 32.7 μM). Lauryl sulfate induces environmental toxicity, disrupting environmental balance and physiological processes of organisms. As a contaminant, Lauryl sulfate is toxic to aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Lauryl sulfate can be used in studies related to sexually transmitted infections .

Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface and host a huge species diversity. Marine organisms are considered the most recent source of bioactive natural products after terrestrial plants and nonmarine microorganisms. Marine biological sources are taxonomically diverse and include sponges, tunicates, corals, mollusks, fungi, and sediment-derived bacteria.

Marine organisms can produce a plethora of small molecules with novel chemical structures and potent biological properties, being a rich source for the discovery of pharmacologically active compounds, already with several marine-derived agents approved as drugs. Ziconotide, a peptide originally discovered in a tropical cone snail, was the first marine-derived compound to be approved in the United States in December 2004 for the treatment of pain. Then, in October 2007, Trabectedin became the first marine anticancer drug to be approved in the European Union.

MCE offers a unique collection of 59 marine-sourced natural products which can be used for drug discovery for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS). MCE marine-sourced natural product library is an important source for drug discovery and development.
