High impact information on Plocamium

• The key feature of the method comes from the comparison of the spectral data of the new monoterpene metabolite, prefuroplocamioid, isolated from Plocamium cartilagineum, with those of other marine monoterpenes, as well as with some model compounds found in the literature [1].
• A subtidal seaweed collected in antarctic waters, Plocamium cartilagineum (L. Dix.), displayed induction of mRNAs encoding the 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) and the ubiquitin polyprotein (UBI) when incubated at 5 degrees C. Maximal induction of HSP70 mRNA was observed when the alga was incubated at 10 degrees C for 1 h [2].
• 1. Plocamadiene A is a polyhalogenated monoterpene, (1R, 2S, 4S, 1'E)-2-bromo-1-chloro-4-(2'-chloroethenyl)-1-methyl-5- methylenecyclohexane, isolated from red marine algae of the Plocamium genus [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Plocamium

• Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of the marine red alga Plocamium cartilagineum, which is known to contain complex mixtures of halogenated monoterpenes, was investigated [4].
