globulide
Globulide is a type of natural product, specifically a polyketide, that has been isolated from marine organisms. Its structure is characterized by a macrocyclic lactone ring containing several oxygenated functional groups. Globulides have garnered scientific interest due to their diverse biological activities.
Research has indicated that globulides can exhibit cytotoxic properties, meaning they can kill cells. This has
The biosynthesis of globulides involves complex enzymatic pathways within the producing organisms. The isolation and characterization
