Jordan team finds compounds in Gulf sponge
A research team from the University of Jordan has discovered bioactive natural compounds from the rare Gulf of Aqaba sponge. These compounds have demonstrated effectiveness against several bacterial strains, especially antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The study confirmed that these compounds represent a promising source for developing new drugs to combat the globally spreading microbial resistance. Using techniques, approximately 40 bioactive compounds were obtained, including gallic acid, quinone derivatives, and the marine alkaloid "Manzamine A." The study also emphasized the importance of sustainably producing these compounds through genetic and chemical techniques to preserve marine biodiversity and enhance scientific research capabilities in the kingdom.
