Synthesis of Lysoglycerophosphocholines from Crude Soybean Lecithins as Sustainable and Non-toxic Antifouling Agents against the Golden Mussel .

This research aimed to produce, on a multigram scale, a new class of non-toxic, halogen- and metal-free antifouling agents from the abundant lecithin byproducts of industrial soybean oil extraction. Three glycerophospholipid analogues were prepared by a facile methanolysis of crude soybean lecithins and a subsequent solvent-free O-alkylation: lysoglycerophosphocholines (LGPCs) and its ether derivatives -alkyl lysoglycerophosphocholines (ALPCs). As efficient antiproliferative agents, LGPCs and ALPCs are an eco-friendly alternative to current commercial antifoulants which possess significant toxicity to aquatic life.

Synthesis of natural 1--alkylglycerols: a study on the chemoselective opening of the epoxide ring by onium quaternary salts (N and P) and ionic liquids.

A chemoselective route for the synthesis of 1--alkylglycerols chimyl (1), batyl (2), and selachyl (3) is reported. These compounds can be naturally isolated from shark liver oil and the skin of animals such as stingrays and chimeras and exhibit potential anti-fouling activity. The synthetic approach developed in this work included two distinct methods of preparation.

Environmental conditions affect activity and associated microorganisms of marine sponges.

Changes in environmental conditions can influence sponges and their holobionts. The present study investigated the effect of upwelling and anthropogenic pollution on the bioactivity of marine sponges, microbial communities and functional genes, and composition of their chemical compounds. The species Dysidea etheria, Darwinella sp.
