Vibriosis prevention and anti-atherosclerosis of secondary metabolites from marine sponge, Aaptos aaptos and Callyspongia pseudoreticulata

Abstract

Marine environment is a source of biological diversity and potential for discovery of novel drugs. Drugs produced by marine organisms have a broad spectrum of activity for treatment many important diseases without dangerous side effects. To date, the majority of marine natural products have been obtained from mostly sessile soft-bodied invertebrates, such as sponges and tunicates.
