Aaptamine Derivatives from the Indonesian Sponge Aaptos suberitoides
Four new aaptamine derivatives (1-4) along with aaptamine (5) and three related compounds (6-8) were isolated from the ethanol extract of the sponge Aaptos suberitoides collected in Indonesia. The structures of the new compounds were unambiguously determined by one- and two-dimensional NMR and by HRESIMS measurements. Compounds 3, 5, and 6 showed cytotoxic activity against the murine lymphoma L5178Y cell line, with IC(50) values ranging from 0.9 to 8.3 μM.
Cytotoxic and protein kinase inhibiting nakijiquinones and nakijiquinols from the sponge Dactylospongia metachromia.
Chemical investigation of the sponge Dactylospongia metachromia afforded five new sesquiterpene aminoquinones (1-5), two new sesquiterpene benzoxazoles (6 and 7), the known analogue 18-hydroxy-5-epi-hyrtiophenol (8), and a known glycerolipid. The structures of all compounds were unambiguously elucidated by one- and two-dimensional NMR and by MS analyses, as well as by comparison with the literature. Compounds 1-5 showed potent cytotoxicity against the mouse lymphoma cell line L5178Y with IC50 values ranging from 1.1 to 3.7 μM. When tested in vitro for their inhibitory potential against 16 different protein kinases, compounds 5, 6, and 8 exhibited the strongest inhibitory activity against AL…
Dispacamide E and other bioactive bromopyrrole alkaloids from two Indonesian marine sponges of the genus Stylissa.
Chemical investigation of methanolic extracts of the two Indonesian marine sponges Stylissa massa and Stylissa flabelliformis yielded 25 bromopyrrole alkaloids including 2 new metabolites. The structures of all isolated compounds were unambiguously elucidated based on extensive 1D and 2D NMR, LR-MS and HR-MS analyses. All isolated compounds were assayed for their antiproliferative and protein kinase inhibitory activities. Several of the tested compounds revealed selective activity(ies) which suggested preliminary SARs of the isolated bromopyrrole alkaloids.
Cytotoxic drimane meroterpenoids from the Indonesian marine sponge Dactylospongia elegans
Abstract Chemical investigation of the methanol extract of an Indonesian marine sponge Dactylospongia elegans (family Thorectidae) afforded two undescribed drimane meroterpenoidal metabolites, dactylospongenones G and H (1 and 2) together with thirteen known compounds (3–15) including pelorol, 5-epi-ilimaquinone, 5-epi-smenospongine, 5-epi-smenospongidine, nakijiquinone D, smenospongine C, isospongiaquinone, isosmenospongine, nakijiquinones A-C, G and 5-epi-nakijiquinone Q. The structures of the new metabolites were unambiguously determined by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and by HRESIMS. All isolated compounds were assessed for their antimicrobial, antitubercular and cytotoxic activities. Sev…
From anti-fouling to biofilm inhibition: New cytotoxic secondary metabolites from two Indonesian Agelas sponges
Chemical investigation of Indonesian marine sponges Agelas linnaei and A. nakamurai afforded 24 alkaloid derivatives representing either bromopyrrole or diterpene alkaloids. A. linnaei yielded 16 bromopyrrole alkaloids including 11 new natural products with the latter exhibiting unusual functionalities. The new compounds include the first iodinated tyramine-unit bearing pyrrole alkaloids, agelanesins A-D. These compounds exhibited cytotoxic activity against L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells with IC(50) values between 9.25 and 16.76 muM. Further new compounds include taurine acid substituted bromopyrrole alkaloids and a new dibromophakellin derivative. A. nakamurai yielded eight alkaloids among th…
