      Sarno, Federica; Papulino, Chiara; Franci, Gianluigi; Andersen, Jeanette hammer; Cautain, Bastien; Melardo, Colombina; Altucci, Lucia; Nebbioso, Angela; Andersen, Jeanette H. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-07)
      Despite the discovery and development of novel therapies, cancer is still a leading cause of death worldwide. In order to grow, tumor cells require large quantities of nutrients involved in metabolic processes, and an increase in iron levels is known to contribute to cancer proliferation. Iron plays an important role in the active site of a number of proteins involved in energy metabolism, DNA ...
    • Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Barettin 

      Lind, Karianne Fredenfeldt; Hansen, Espen; Østerud, Bjarne; Eilertsen, Karl-Erik; Bayer, Annette; Engqvist, Stig Olov Magnus; Leszczak, Kinga; Jørgensen, Trond Ø.; Andersen, Jeanette hammer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      In this paper, we present novel bioactivity for barettin isolated from the marine sponge Geodia barretti. We found that barettin showed strong antioxidant activity in biochemical assays as well as in a lipid peroxidation cell assay. A de-brominated synthetic analogue of barettin did not show the same activity in the antioxidant cell assay, indicating that bromine is important for cellular activity. ...
    • Bioactivity Screening of Microalgae for Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, Anticancer, Anti-Diabetes, and Antibacterial Activities 

      Lauritano, Chiara; Andersen, Jeanette hammer; Hansen, Espen; Albrigtsen, Marte; Escalera, Laura; Esposito, Francesco; Helland, Kirsti; Østnes Hanssen, Kine; Romano, Giovanna; Ianora, Adrianna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-10)
      Marine microalgae are considered a potentially new and valuable source of biologically active molecules for applications in the food industry as well as in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic sectors. They can be easily cultured, have short generation times and enable an environmentally-friendly approach to drug discovery by overcoming problems associated with the over-utilization ...
    • Cellular Antioxidant Effect of Four Bromophenols from the Red Algae, Vertebrata lanosa 

      Olsen, Elisabeth Klungerbo; Hansen, Espen; Isaksson, Johan; Andersen, Jeanette hammer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Three known bromophenols, 2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzylaldehyde (1), 2,2′,3-tribromo-3′,4,4′,5-tetrahydroxy 6′-hydroxymethyldiphenylmethane (2) and bis(2, 3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxylbenzyl) ether (3), and one new one, 5,5″-oxybis(methylene)bis (3-bromo-4-(2′,3′-dibromo-4′,5′-dihydroxylbenzyl)benzene-1,2-diol) (4), were isolated from an extract of the red alga, Vertebrata lanosa. The antioxidant ...
    • Cultivable marine fungi from the Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard and their antibacterial activity 

      Hagestad, Ole Christian; Andersen, Jeanette hammer; Altermark, Bjørn; Hansen, Espen; Rämä, Teppo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-27)
      During a research cruise in 2016, we isolated fungi from sediments, seawater, driftwood, fruiting bodies, and macroalgae using three different media to assess species richness and potential bioactivity of cultivable marine fungi in the High Arctic region. Ten stations from the Svalbard archipelago (73–80 °N, 18–31 °E) were investigated and 33 fungal isolates were obtained. These grouped into 22 ...
    • Dendrobeaniamine A, a new alkaloid from the Arctic marine bryozoan Dendrobeania murrayana 

      Michael Siranjeevi, Raja Priyanka Mary; Hansen, Espen; Isaksson, Johan; Andersen, Jeanette hammer; Østnes Hansen, Kine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-20)
      The new guanidine alkaloid Dendrobeaniamine A (1) was isolated from the organic extract of the Arctic marine bryozoan <i>Dendrobeania murrayana</i>. The chemical structure of 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic experiments, including 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS analysis. Compound 1 is a lipoamino acid, consisting of a C<sub>12</sub> fatty acid anchored to the amino acid arginine. The bioactivity of 1 ...
    • EU-OPENSCREEN: A novel collaborative approach to facilitate chemical biology

      Compound screening in biological assays and subsequent optimization of hits is indispensable for the development of new molecular research tools and drug candidates. To facilitate such discoveries, the European Research Infrastructure EU-OPENSCREEN was founded recently with the support of its member countries and the European Commission. Its distributed character harnesses complementary knowledge, ...
    • Kinase chemodiversity from the Arctic: the breitfussins 

      Østnes Hansen, Kine; Andersen, Jeanette hammer; Bayer, Annette; Pandey, Sunil Kumar; Lorentzen, Marianne; Jørgensen, Kåre Bredeli; Sydnes, Magne Olav; Guttormsen, Yngve; Baumann, Matthias; Koch, Uwe; Klebl, Bert; Eickhoff, Jan; Haug, Bengt Erik; Isaksson, Johan; Hansen, Espen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-24)
      In this work, we demonstrate that the indole-oxazole-pyrrole framework of the breitfussin family of natural products is a promising scaffold for kinase inhibition. Six new halogenated natural products, breitfussin C–H (3 – 8) were isolated and characterized from the Arctic, marine hydrozoan Thuiaria breitfussi. The structures of two of the new natural products were also confirmed by total synthesis. ...
