Manzamine B

Manzamine B is an alkaloid in the biogenetically unique manzamine family.

Chemical Formula: C36H46N4O1
Layman's explanation: As a part of the biogenetically unique manzamine family, Manzamine B is found in sea sponge extracts. Manzamine is a type of alkaloid which displays a perhydroisoquinoline ring system and has shown antitumor, antibacterial, and strong anti-malarial activities. It exhibits an immunostimulatory effect, meaning that in addition to killing the malaria parasite, it induces an immune response that helps clear the disease from the body. The 11-membered unsaturated azacycle of manzamine B can be synthesized by ring-closing metathesis through a Diels-Alder strategy.
Keywords: alkaloid, anti-malarial
