Marine invertebrates such as holothurians, also known as sea cucumbers yield a variety of bioactive molecules, including
triterpene glycosides (saponins). Elucidating molecular structures of saponins often requires HPCPC ? High Performance
Centrifugal Partition Chromatography for optimal purity after initial isolation and fractionation of extracts from visceral
samples, which tend to deliver augmented diversity, maximizing yield of bioactive compounds; when compared with samples
derived from the body wall of sea cucumbers. Along with their metabolites, these compounds have demonstrated the following
biological properties:
Biomedical:
? Cytotoxic, Anti-cancer (Chemotherapeutic ? due to Phenols &Flavenoids, Frondanol A)
? Anti-inflammatory and antiarthritic
? Antimicrobial (including antiviral, antibiotic, antifungal, antiparasitic)
? Anti-angiogenesis (due to Philinopside A & E, inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factors)
? Hemolytic, anticoagulant and antithrombotic
? Hypoglycemia and anti-diabetic
? Anti-dementia , neuropathy and demyelinating conditions
? Immunomodulator (Arginine ? enables enhanced T-cell function)
? Cholesterol & Triglyceride lowering effects
? Cardiovascular and antihypertensive ? due to ACE inhibition & vasodilation
? Wound healing properties ? collagen & fatty acids
Nutritional:
? Vitamin A
? Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
? Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
? Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
? Calcium
? Magnesium
? Iron
? Zinc
? Proteins, Peptides, Amino Acid derivatives
? Enzymes
? Antioxidants
? Glycosides
? Sphingolipids
? Chondroitin Sulfate
? Arginine
The wide ranging scope of physiological and biochemical effects of Sea Cucumber extracts, along with a plethora of secondary
metabolites, is motivating scientists to pursue further targeted and focused inquiry in order to develop effective precursors for
life saving pharmaceuticals, sources of nutraceuticals as well as cosmeceuticals
