Characterization of bioactive molecules isolated from sea cucumber Athyonidium chilensis

In the last decade, the interest for searching molecules with biomedical potential as well as innocuous for the environment has been increased. Under this perspective, the search for bioactive principles of marine origin has allowed to value the biological diversity present in aquatic systems. In ph...
