Prostaglandins, well-known lipid mediators in vertebrate animals, have also shown to play certain regulatory roles in insects and other arthropods acting on reproduction, immune system and ion transport. However, knowledge of their biosynthetic pathw

The conversion of fatty acid hydroperoxides to allene epoxides is catalysed by a cytochrome P450 in plants. In contrast, in the coral Plexaura homomalla, a catalase-related hemoprotein fused to the lipoxygenase (LOX) was found to function as an allen

It has been known for 30 years that the gorgonian coral Plexaura homomalla contains either 15S- or 15R-configuration prostaglandins (PGs), depending on its location in the Caribbean. Recently we showed that the 15R-PGs in the R-variety of P. homomall

Prostaglandins (PG) have been shown to play important physiological roles in insects and marine invertebrates, yet the knowledge of their biosynthetic pathways is often lacking. Recently, we described cyclooxygenases in two amphipod crustaceans, Gamm

The highest concentrations of prostaglandins in nature are found in the Caribbean gorgonian Plexaura homomalla . Depending on its geographical location, this coral contains prostaglandins with typical mammalian stereochemistry (15 S -hydroxy) or the

In vertebrates, the synthesis of prostaglandin hormones is catalyzed by cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, a constitutively expressed enzyme with physiological functions, and COX-2, induced in inflammation and cancer. Prostaglandins have been detected in high c

Certain corals are rich natural sources of prostaglandins, the metabolic origin of which has remained undefined. By analogy with the lipoxygenase/allene oxide synthase pathway to jasmonic acid in plants, the presence of (8R)-lipoxygenase and allene o

Six new polyoxygenated sterols 1–6 were isolated from the soft coral Gersemia fruticosa. The structures of these compounds were determined by MS. 1H- and 13C- 1D and 2D FT NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 1–6 showed a moderate cytotoxic activity again

An acetone powder preparation of the White Sea soft coral Gersemia fruticosa converts exogenous arachidonic acid to a prostaglandin-endoperoxide, identified as PGG 2 by chemical and spectral studies. The latter serves as a key intermediate from which

The White Sea soft coral Gersemia fruticosa has been found to convert exogeneous arachidonic acid to optically active prostaglandins D 2 , E 2 , F 2α and 15-keto-F 2α , all of which were also isolated as endogenous constituents from the same coral
