    • Amphipathic Barbiturates as Mimics of Antimicrobial Peptides and the Marine Natural Products Eusynstyelamides with Activity against Multi-resistant Clinical Isolates 

      Paulsen, Marianne Hagensen; Engqvist, Magnus; Ausbacher, Dominik; Anderssen, Trude; Langer, Manuel Karl; Haug, Tor; Morello, Glenn Robert; Liikanen, Laura; Blencke, Hans-Matti; Isaksson, Johan; Juskewitz, Eric; Bayer, Annette; Strøm, Morten B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-27)
      We report a series of synthetic cationic amphipathic barbiturates inspired by the pharmacophore model of small antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and the marine antimicrobials eusynstyelamides. These N,N′-dialkylated-5,5-disubstituted barbiturates consist of an achiral barbiturate scaffold with two cationic groups and two lipophilic side chains. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of 2–8 μg/mL were achieved ...
    • Screening for antibacterial and antifungal activities in marine benthic invertebrates from northern Norway 

      Tadesse, Margey; Gulliksen, Bjørn; Strøm, Morten B.; Styrvold, Olaf B.; Haug, Tor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-06-18)
      Benthic marine invertebrates collected from sub-Arctic regions of northern Norway, were found to be a promising source of novel bioactive compounds against human and fish pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Lyophilized material from seven species of ascidians, six sponges and one soft alcyonid coral were extracted with 60% acidified acetonitrile (ACN). After separation into an ACN-rich phase (ACN extract) ...
