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

An undescribed Philippine marine sponge of the genus Xestospongia afforded four isoquinoline quinones: the new N-ethylene methyl ketone derivative of renierone (1), as well as the known compounds 1,6-dimethyl-7- methoxy-5,8-dihydroisoquinoline-5,8-dione (2), renierone (3), and mimosamycin (4). Compound 2 exhibited insecticidal activity toward neonate larvae of the polyphagous pest insect Spodoptera littoralis (EC 50 of 35 ppm and LC 50 of 521 ppm) when incorporated into artificial diet. Compounds 1 and 3 were only weakly active toward S. littoralis, while compound 4 was found to be inactive. All four isolated compounds were active against the Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Staphyloccoccus aureus. Compound 4 was also active against the fungus Cladosporium cucumerinum.
