The incidence of both obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus( DM) is increasing proportionately so that causes of deaths from these has overtaken from that of malnourishment. Hence it has been recommended to treat the 2 in parallel considering the role of diabesity on health. Important causes of T2DM are insulin resistance (IR) and /or inadequate insulin secretion. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B(PTPIB) has a negative impact in insulin signaling pathways and hence plays crucial role inT2DM,since its overexpression might induce IR. Thus PTPIB is considered a therapeutic target for both obesity and T2DM, there has been a search for novel ,promising natural inhibitors. We conducted a pubmed search for articles related to PTPIB inhibitors from natural causes be it marine sources or other natural sources. Out of 988 articles we selected 100 articles for review. Thus various bioactive molecules isolated from marine organisms that can acts as PTPIB Inhibitors and thus possess antidiabetic activity both in vitro/ in vivo studies ,besides products from fruits like Chinese raspberry or curcumin used as routine spices are described with their chemical classes, structure-activity relationships and potency as assessed by IC 50 values are discussed. More work is required to make this a reality.

By-products of marine organisms including salmon, skate, flatfish, and yellow goosefish were investigated to search for new source of chondroitin sulfate (CS). Agarose gel electrophoresis with chondroitinase depolymerization showed that purified chondroitin sulfate did not contain any other glycosaminoglycans. 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were acquired to confirm the structure and purity. The average molecular weight ranging from 22 to 64 kDa was determined by high performance size exclusion chromatography. Disaccharide compositions and purities were determined by strong anion exchange-high performance liquid chromatography (SAX-HPLC) after chondroitinase ABC depolymerization. SAX-HPLC data exhibited that the purity was from $81.7{\pm}1.3$ to $114.2{\pm}2.5%$ and the yield was from 1.3 to 12.5%. All analytical results indicate that salmon cartilage, skate cartilage, and yellow goosefish bone could be promising sources of CS to substitute shark cartilage CS in commercial neutraceuticals.

A series of antifungal compounds were obtained from the methanol extract of the mycelium from marine actinomycetes M428 which was identified as a Stereptomyces species by fatty acid composition and biochemical characteristics. These compounds were purified by combined chromatographic techniques and the structures were characterized with spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR, and mass spectrometry as sn-l lysophosphatidyl inositols. The side chains were established by chemical degradation followed by GC analysis to be 14-methyl pentadecanoic acid (iso-palmitic acid, i-C16:0, compound A) and 13-methyl tetradecanoic acid (iso-pentadecanoic acid, i-C15:0, compound B). These compounds displayed highly selective antifungal activity against C. albicans with MIC values of $5{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ (compound A) and $2.5{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ (compound B), while it had almost negligible antibiotic activity against E. coli and P aerogenosa with MIC value higher than $50{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ and no cytotoxic activities against human myeloma leukemia K562 ($IC_{50}>100{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$).

This paper deals mainly with chemical and biological investigations, recently effected in the authors' laboratory, of Chinese tropical marine plants and invertebrates on three topics: 1) an unusual macrocyclic polydisulfide from the Chinese mangrove Bruguiera gymnorrhiza; 2) polyhydroxylpolyene compounds from marine dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp.; 3) two new series of uncommon steroids from marine in vertebrates.

Farnesyl Protein Transferase (FPTase) catalyses a post-translational modification of Ras that is obligatory for the cell transforming activity of this oncogene protein. The screening of natural products to identify inhibitors of this enzyme as a potential anticancer agents, has led to the isolation of a novel lactone, from the hydroid Solanderia secunda. Solandelactone G has been isolated from the hydroid Solanderia secunda collected along the offshore of Jaejudo and Keomunde. The structure of the compound has been determined as cyclopropane containing C$\_$22/ fatty acid lactone on the basis of the combined spectral and chemical methods

We examined ethanol extracts prepared from the Korean marine algae belonging to the Sargassaceae family for their inhibitory effects on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity and free radicals in vitro. Among five marine algae, the extracts of Sargassum yezoense were found to possess strongly ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition and free radicals scavenging activities. Two compounds were isolated via bioactivity guided isolation and tested for their effects on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, DPPH, $ABTS^{+}$ and $Photochem^{(R)}$ analysis. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectral analysis and direct comparison with authentic compounds; their structures were identified as sargaquinoic acid (1) and sargahydroquinoic acid (2). The inhibitory effects of compound 1 and 2 ($IC_{50}$ value:14.2 and 12.8 ${\mu}M$, respectively) on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase were more potent that of deoxynojirimycin as a positive control ($IC_{50}$ value:18.0 ${\mu}M$). All compounds displayed antioxidative activity which was measured by DPPH, $ABTS^{+}$ and $Photochem^{(R)}$ apparatus.

A new method for the quantitative determination of fucosterol in the marine algae Pelvetia siliquosa by gas chromatography was established. A HP-1 column programmed as $200^{\circ}C\;(5\;min)\;{\rightarrow}\;5/min\;{\rightarrow}\;280^{\circ}C\;(10\;min)$ was developed. The analysis of fucosterol in P. siliquosa was successfully carried out within 30 min.

To overcome the limitation of E. coli expression system such as inclusion body formation and disulfide bond failure, we tried to express the heterologous protein as a secreted form. We adopted agarase signal peptide (ASP; 23 amino acid residues) from Agarivorans albus YKW-34 which is one of marine bacteia. When we used ASP to express $\beta$-agarase, about 42% activity was detected in media.

Filamentous marine fungi have proven to be a plentiful source of new natural products. Chaetomium, a widely distributed fungal genus in the marine environment, has gained much interest within the scientific community. In the last 20 years, many potential secondary metabolites have been detected from marine-derived Chaetomium. In this review, we attempt to provide a comprehensive summary of the natural products produced by marine-derived Chaetomium species. A total of 122 secondary metabolites that were described from 2001 to 2021 are covered. The structural diversity of the compounds, along with details of the sources and relevant biological properties are also provided, while the relationships between structures and their bioactivities are discussed. It is our expectation that this review will be of benefit to drug development and innovation.
