Examples of structural correlations are outlined.Available results on the mechanism of redox processes and examinations of chemo-and regioselectivity in addition reactions are presented and,where possible,analyzed in relation to established bioactivities.Most of the bioactivity examinations are concerned with antitumor activities and the mechanism thereof,such as DNA damage,arylation of nucleophiles,tubulin assembly inhibition, protein kinase inhibition,inhibition of the arachidonic cascade,etc.Perspectives on marine drug development are discussed with respect to biotechnological methods and synthesis.Examples of the recognition of validated core structures and synthesis of structurally simplified compounds retaining modes of activity are analyzed. 收起
