Welcome to NPR issue 5, 2012
This month’s striking subaquatic cover features the work of Suthananda N. Sunassee and Michael T. Davies-Coleman at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa, with a review on Cytotoxic and antioxidant marine prenylated quinones and hydroquinones.
Focusing on 159 prenylated quinones, hydroquinones and naphthoquinones with reported cytotoxic and/or antioxidant properties isolated from various marine organisms over the past 40 years, the authors highlight trends in the structural distribution of these cytotoxic compounds within the different marine phyla.
