In vitro screening of antifungal activity of marine sponge extracts against five phytopathogenic fungi

Abstract

The aim of our research is the screening of extracts of marine sponges for their antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi. The in vitro screening of hydroalcoholic and organic extracts of ten marine sponges from Atlantic coast of Morocco against five phytopathogenic fungi (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris, Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium digitatum) showed that only two sponges (Haliclona viscosa and Cynachirella tarentina) are active against all phytopathogenic fungi studied.

Activity of Haliscosamine against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis: in vitro and in vivo analysis

“…Two other alkaloids, haliclamine C and D, were isolated from H. viscosa (Volk et al 2004 ). In a recently published work, Haliclona viscosa has shown significant antifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi from Fusarium , Botrytis and Penicillium genus (El Amraoui et al 2014b ).…”

“…Furthermore, Marine sponges are a potential source of new biological compounds with diverse biological activities (Acosta and Rodriguez 1992 ; Baslow and Turlapaty 1969 ; Akiyama et al 2009 ; Bao et al 2007a ; Bao et al 2005 ; Bao et al 2007b ). In Morocco, few studies are carried out about Moroccan sponges with an important biological material for the isolation of new molecule (El Amraoui et al 2014b ; EL Amraoui et al 2014a ; El Amraoui et al 2013 ; El Amraoui et al 2010 ; El-Wahidi et al 2011 ; El-Wahidi et al 2013 ). Haliscosamine isolated from the Moroccan marine sponge Haliclona viscosa is a new derivative of sphingosine with an original molecular structure ((Z)-2-amino-docos-9- ene-1,3,13,14-tetraol) (El Amraoui et al 2013 ).…”

Antimicrobial and anti-oxidant potentials of marine sponges of South Andaman, India

“…Recent studies have reported the isolation of novel anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, antifouling and a range of other bioactive compounds from marine species (Majali et al, 2015;El Amraoui et al, 2014;Mehbub et al, 2014). In the present study, the antimicrobial and anti-oxidant properties of seven marine sponges are described.…”

Marine-Derived Compounds and Prospects for Their Antifungal Application

“…radicis-lycopersici, F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, Botrytis cinerea, and Penicillium digitatum [37]. Subsequently, a new derivative of sphingosine, called haliscosamine (37) ( Figure 10), was isolated from Haliclona viscosa and showed significant in vitro Until 2017, about 70 saponins were isolated from sponges, in which some of them, when submitted to different bioassays, revealed biological activities of great interest.…”
