Sponges As Heavy Metal Accumalators And As Cytotoxic Agents
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
The diversity in chemical structure of sponge derived metabolites is related to an equally diverse pattern of activities.Scientist in the field of natural products chemistry and research suggest that sponges have the potential to provide future drugs againsts important diseases,such as a range of viral diseases,malaria,inflammations,immunesuppressive diseases and various malignant neoplasms.Sponges,the dominant benthic organism has filter feeding mechanism, deposits heavy metals in their tissues.These heavy metals have a major role in many of the biological reactions involved in cytotoxicity.Research findings shows that,Haliclonatenuiramosa,which can be used asbioindicators for heavy metal pollution ,had significantly higher heavy metal concentration at near shore region due to anthropogenic input .
