Leading national thinking on politics, government & public policy through Open Access research

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Government & Public Policy, based within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Research here is 1st in Scotland for research intensity and spans a wide range of domains. The Department of Politics demonstrates expertise in understanding parties, elections and public opinion, with additional emphases on political economy, institutions and international relations. This international angle is reflected in the European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) which conducts comparative research on public policy. Meanwhile, the Centre for Energy Policy provides independent expertise on energy, working across multidisciplinary groups to shape policy for a low carbon economy.

Abstract

Our search for biologically active marine natural products has led to the isolation of two new steroidal saponins, eryloside K (2) and eryloside L (3) together with the known antitumor and antifungal glycoside eryloside A (1) from the organic extract of the sponge Erylus lendenfeldi (Geodiidae) collected in the Red Sea. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectral analyses ( 1H, 13C, COSY, HMQC, HMBC and TOCSY NMR) as well as GC/MS analysis to infer the absolute stereochemistry of the sugar moieties. Eryloside K (2) is the 24,25-didehydro congener of 1, while eryloside L (3) features an unusual 8α,9α- epoxy-4α-methyl-8,9-secocholesta-7,9(11),14-triene skeleton which appears to be unprecedented in nature. Eryloside A (1) displayed antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli together with antifungal activity against Candida albicans.
