ISOLATION AND PURIFICATION OF SPIROLIDS FROM ALEXANDRIUM OSTENFELDII CULTURES (PIE201270E032).

Espirolids are potent bioactive substances detected mainly in the last years, and which structure was not found before in other marine or terrestrial organisms, which indicates novel mechanisms of action.

This project aims to analize these compounds and to determine their biological activity despite the main problem faced by this research, which is the lack of purified or isolated material.
