An Uncommon Pathway in the Biosynthesis of Acetylenic Fatty Acids in Mosses
1995
Although more than 600 acetylenic compounds of various structures have been found in plants [1], hardly anything is known about the formation of the triple bonds. The acetylenes so far known from Bryophytes, have been identified as long chain fatty acids with a characteristic arrangement of one triple bond and one to three double bonds.
New 2-Methoxy Acetylenic Acids and Pyrazole Alkaloids from the Marine Sponge Cinachyrella sp.
2017
Three new 2-methoxy acetylenic acids (1–3) and a known derivative (4), in addition to three new natural pyrazole alkaloids (5–7) were isolated from an Indonesian marine sponge of the genus Cinachyrella. Compounds 5 and 6 have previously been reported as synthetic compounds. The structures of the new compounds were established on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy as well as by mass spectrometric data. The absolute configuration of the new acetylenic acid derivatives (1–3) was established by ECD spectroscopy. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells. Compounds 1–4 exhibited strong activity with an IC50 value of 0.3 µ…
