Acknowledgements
I wish to express my sincere gratitude and admiration to my supervisor Prof. Dr. G. M. König for
the expert guidance, encouragement and kind support during the course of this project. I would
like to thank her for providing excellent scientific advice, working facilities, for letting me express
my creativity, and especially for understanding and guidance in unexpected personal difficulties
that arose during the research. I have nothing else than to be proud and consider to be a truly
privilege to have performed a PhD under the orientation of Prof. Dr. G. M. König.

Special thanks go to Prof. Dr. E. Kostenis for officiating as second referee.

Many specific tasks involved in this study were performed in cooperation with other members of
the Institute for Pharmaceutical Biology, Uni Bonn. For this work cordial thanks go to:
Dr. Stefan Kehraus for indispensable help concerning the implementation and interpretation of
special NMR experiments, for proofreading manuscripts and thesis, and for providing friendly,
professional laboratory support during all phases of this study. I would also like to express my
extreme admiration for the NMR interpretation skills of Dr. Kehraus.
Ekaterina Eguereva for introducing me to the work with marine-derived fungi. Also thanks for
recording all LC-MS spectra and friendly talks during the research.
Edith Neu for conducting agar diffusion assays and for being such a friendly person.
Natalja Part, for her outstanding lab work and for being a good friend.
E. Gassen for friendly assistance and for resolving all administrative questions.
I would like to thank all members of the Institute for Pharmaceutical Biology, University of Bonn,
present or past for cooperation and friendship, with special regards to Hendrik Greve and Ana
Kralj for the great help in the first year in the lab.

Extra-special thanks go to Sanem Insu Tezkan, words cannot describe her existance.
As for Rita Roque, Rui Branco and Paulo Figueiredo, thank you for making the days in Germany
so special, I met you here but the friendship will be for life.
Also for Maria Laura Vinuela which will be in my heart for the rest of my life.
Another thanks goes to Ricardo Baptista Lopes, long time friend that is allways there when i
return to Portugal.
A final thankfull word for “pre-PhD“ personalities, namely Dr. Rob Verpoorte (Leiden
University, The Netherlands) for all the knowledge given during my Masters, and Dr. Artur Silva
7
  
(Aveiro University, Portugal) for teaching exquisidly the basics of NMR spectroscopy to a
biologist, which was essencial for this PhD work.

Financial support for this project was provided by FCT (Fundação para a Ciencia e Tecnologia,
Portugal) and is gratefully acknowledged.

International scientific cooperation acknowledgements. I thank the efforts of Dr. K. Dimas
(Biomedical Research Foundation of Academy of Athens, Greece) for the cytotoxicity assays,
Prof. Dr. M. Gütschow (Institute for Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Bonn, Germany)
for performing the panel of proteases inhibition assays, Dr. L. Meijer (Protein Phosphorylation &
Disease, CNRS, Roscoff, France) for performing the protein kinases assays and Dr. C.
Pannecouque (Rega Institute for Medical Research, Leuven, Belgium) for performing the HIV-1
and HIV-2 antiviral assays; I also kindly thank Dr. M. Prudêncio (Malaria Unit, Institute for
Molecular Medicine, University of Lisbon, Portugal) for performing the antiplasmodial activity
assays, Indra Bergval (KIT Biomedical Research, Royal Tropical Institute, Amsterdam,
Netherlands) for performing the M. tuberculosis activity assays, Dr. Marc Diederich (LBMCC,
Luxembourg) for performing the NF-kB activity assays, Dr. Steinar Paulsen (University of
Tromsø, MabCent, Tromsø, Norway) for performing the anti-diabetic activity assays and Dr. K.
Shimokawa (Department of Chemistry, Nagoya University, Japan) for performing the 3T3-L1
murine adipocytes assay; the Ki determinations and antagonist functional data that was generously
provided by the National Institute of Mental Health's Psychoactive Drug Screening Program,
Contract # HHSN-271-2008-00025-C (NIMH PDSP). The NIMH PDSP is directed by Bryan L.
Roth MD, PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Project Officer Jamie
