Chemical composition of the lipophylic extract from the tunicate Botryllus schlosseri.

Eighteen sterols were identified in Botryllus schlosseri, stanols being the main sterols. The sterol composition is in agreement with our recent paper on taxonomic separation of tunicates into three groups. Again we found in invertebrates of the Black Sea sterols with a (22Z)-double bond. This confirms the presence of such sterols in nature. The composition of the phospholipids appeared to be complex, and twelve groups of them were identified in Botryllus schlosseri. The main representatives of phospholipids appeared to be phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Only four volatile compounds were identified, which is unusual for marine invertebrates.

Chemical composition and biological activities of the Black Sea algae Polysiphonia denudata (Dillw.) Kutz. and Polysiphonia denudata f. fragilis (Sperk) Woronich.

The two investigated algae had almost identical sterol composition, but there were significant differences in the composition of the polar components and especially in the composition of the volatiles. P. denudata f. fragilis extracts possessed a stronger biological activity (antibacterial, antifungal and toxicity against Artemia salina). Despite the minute morphological differences between the two algae, we recommend P. denudata f. fragilis to be regarded as P. denudata subsp. fragilis.

Anticomplement activity of lysine complexes of propolis phenolic constituents and their synthetic analogs.

Several phenolic constituents of propolis and their synthetic analogs were derivatized with L-lysine. The ability of these complexes to alter complement activity was estimated in vitro in human serum. The influence of selected complexes on C3 hemolytic activity via classical pathway (CP) and alternative pathway (AP) and on zymosan-induced AP activation was determined. The results suppose that the anticomplement effect of the complexes might be related to the interaction with C3 complement component.
