RT Journal Article T1 Chemistry and biology of bengamides and bengazoles, bioactive natural products from Jaspis sponges A1 García-Ruiz, Cristina A1 Sarabia-García, Francisco Ramón K1 Esponjas AB Sponges corresponding to the Jaspidae family have proved to be a prolific source of bioactive natural products. Among these, the bengamides and the bengazoles stand out by virtue of their unprecedented molecular architectures and impressive biological profiles, including antitumor, antibiotic and anthelmintic properties. As a consequence, intense research activity has been devoted to these compounds from both chemical and biological standpoints. This review describes in detail the research into these classes of natural products and the benefits they offer in chemistry and biology.
