Isolation of Scalarane-Type Sesterterpenoids from the Marine Sponge Dysidea sp. and Stereochemical Reassignment of 12-epi-Phyllactone D/E.

ABSTRACT: The chemical investigation of the marine sponge Dysidea sp., which was collected from Bohol province in the Philippines, resulted in the identification of 15 new scalarane-type sesterterpenoids (1-14, 16), together with 15 known compounds. The chemical structures of the new compounds were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopy and HRMS. The structure of 12-epi-phyllactone D/E (15) isolated during this study was originally identified in 2007. However, careful inspection of our experimental ¹³C NMR spectrum revealed considerable discrepancies with the reported data at C-9, C-12, C-14, and C-23, leading to the correction of the reported compound to the C-12 epimer of 15, phyllactone D/E. The biological properties of compounds 1-16 were evaluated using the MDA-MB-231 cancer cell line. Compound 7, which bears a pentenone E-ring, exhibits significant cytotoxicity with a GI₅₀ value of 4.21 μM.

Dysivillosins A-D, Unusual Anti-allergic Meroterpenoids from the Marine Sponge Dysidea villosa.

Project description:Four unusual meroterpenoids, dysivillosins A-D (1-4), were isolated from an organic extract of the marine sponge Dysidea villosa collected from the South China Sea. Their planar structures were determined by 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS techniques, while the relative and absolute configurations were elucidated by NOESY experiments and comparison between the calculated and experimental ECD spectra. To the best of our knowledge, dysivillosins A-D are the first examples of terpene-polyketide-pyridine hybrid metabolites from the nature. Anti-allergic activity evaluation showed that compounds 1-4 potently inhibited the release of β-hexosaminidase, a marker of degranulation, in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values of 8.2-19.9 μM. Additionally, the four meroterpenoids could downregulate the production of lipid mediator leukotrienes B4 (LTB4) and pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) in the antigen-stimulated RBL-2H3 mast cells. Further biological investigations revealed that dysivillosin A (1) could suppress the phosphorylation of Syk and PLCγ1 in IgE/FcɛRI/Syk signaling pathway, which resulted in the inhibition of degranulation and the downregulation of LTB4 and IL-4 production in mast cells.

Scalarane Sesterterpenoids with Antibacterial and Anti-Proliferative Activities from the Mushroom Neonothopanus nambi.

Project description:Seven undescribed scalarane sesterterpenoids, nambiscalaranes B-H (1-7), together with two known compounds, nambiscalarane (8) and aurisin A (9) were isolated from the cultured mycelium of the luminescent mushroom Neonothopanus nambi. Their structures were elucidated by thorough analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations of 1-8 were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations and optical rotation measurements. The isolated sesterterpenoids were evaluated against A549, HT29, HeLa, and HCT-116 cancer cell lines, and against five bacterial strains. Compounds 3, 5, and 7 showed strong cytotoxicity against HCT-116 cell line, with IC50 values ranging from 13.41 to 16.53 µM, and showed no cytotoxicity towards Vero cells. Moreover, compound 8 inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis with a MIC value of 8 µg/mL, which was equivalent to the MIC value of the standard kanamycin.

Cytotoxic sesterterpenoids from a sponge Hippospongia sp.

Project description:One new pentacyclic sesterterpene, hippospongide A (1), and one new scalarane sesterterpenoid, hippospongide B (2), along with six previously reported known scalarane-type sesterterpenes (3-8), were isolated from a sponge Hippospongia sp. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data and comparison of the NMR data with those of known analogues. These metabolites are the first pentacyclic sesterterpene and scalarane-type sesterterpenes to be reported from this genus. Compounds 3-5 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against DLD-1, HCT-116, T-47D and K562 cancer cell lines.

Chemical profiling and anti-psoriatic activity of marine sponge (Dysidea avara) in induced imiquimod-psoriasis-skin model.

Project description:Since Marine sponge Dysidea avara is regarded as a source of anti-inflammatory compounds, we decided to evaluate its potential anti-psoriatic activity in a psoriasis Imiquimod-induced in the mouse model. Psoriatic mice were treated with three different methanolic extracts of Dysidea avara compared with betamethasone-treated mice in in- vivo studies. Clinical skin severity was assessed with the psoriasis area index (PASI), whilst ELISA detected the expression of TNF-α, IL-17A, and IL-22. Dysidea avara activity was studied by employing GC-MS (to distinguish compounds), HPTLC (for skin permeation and accumulation), and SEA DOCK to predict single compound potential anti-inflammatory activity. After 7 days of treatment, mice treated with Dysidea avara displayed a dose-dependent, statistically significant improvement compared to controls (p< 0.001). In line with the clinical results, ELISA revealed a statistically significant decrease in IL-22, IL-17A, and TNF-α after treatment; the same SEA DOCK analysis suggests a possible anti-psoriatic activity of the extracts.

Cytotoxic Scalarane Sesterterpenes from the Sponge Hyrtios erectus.

Project description:Twelve new sesterterpenes along with eight known sesterterpenes were isolated from the marine sponge Hyrtios erectus collected off the coast of Chuuk Island, the Federated State of Micronesia. Based upon a combination of spectroscopic and computational analyses, these compounds were determined to be eight glycine-bearing scalaranes (1-8), a 3-keto scalarane (9), two oxidized-furan-bearing scalaranes (10 and 11), and a salmahyrtisane (12). Several of these compounds exhibited weak antiproliferation against diverse cancer cell lines as well as moderate anti-angiogenesis activities. The antiproliferative activity of new compound 4 was found to be associated with G0/G1 arrest in the cell cycle.

Project description:Intensive study on the chemical components of a Korean marine sponge, Spongia sp., has led to the isolation of four new scalarane sesterterpenes, scalalactams A⁻D (1⁻4). Their chemical structures were elucidated from the analysis of spectroscopic data including 1D-and 2D-NMR as well as MS data. Scalalactams A⁻D (1⁻4) possess a scalarane carbon skeleton with a rare structural feature of a γ-lactam moiety within the molecules. Scalalactams A and B (1 and 2) have an extended isopropanyl chain at the lactam ring, and scalalactams C and D (3 and 4) possess a phenethyl group at the lactam ring moiety. Scalalactams A⁻D (1⁻4) did not show FXR antagonistic activity nor cytotoxicity up to 100 μM.

Bispuupehenone from the South Chinese Sea sponge Dysidea sp.

Project description:Bispuupehenone, C(42)H(54)O(6), formally results from dimerization of puupehenone, which is constructed of sesquiterpene and benzene units. Bispuupehenone was isolated from the South China Sea sponge Dysidea sp. and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the previously reported structure. The mol-ecule is located on a twofold axis and the dimerization forms two fused dibenzopyran systems related by symmetry. In the asymmetric unit, the two cyclohexane rings adopt chair conformations, while the two pyran rings adopt half-chair conformations. The relative stereochemistry and configurations for the ring junctions are in agreement with the structure reported previously.

Gambogic acid: Multi-gram scale isolation, stereochemical erosion toward epi-gambogic acid and biological profile.

Project description:IntroductionExtracted from gamboge resin, gambogic acid (GBA) is a natural product that displays a complex caged xanthone structure and exhibits promising antitumor properties. However, efforts to advance this compound to clinical applications have been thwarted by its limited availability that in turn, restricts its pharmacological optimization.MethodsWe report here an efficient method that allows multigram scale isolation of GBA in greater than 97% diastereomeric purity from various sources of commercially available gamboge. The overall process includes: (a) isolation of organic components from the resin; (b) separation of GBA from the organic components via crystallization as its pyridinium salt; and (c) acidification of the salt to isolate the free GBA.Results and discussionWe found that GBA is susceptible to epimerization at the C2 center that produces epi-gambogic acid ( epi-GBA), a common contaminant of all commercial sources of this compound. Mechanistic studies indicate that this epimerization proceeds via an ortho-quinone methide intermediate. Although the observed stereochemical erosion accounts for the chemical fragility of GBA, it does not significantly affect its biological activity especially as it relates to cancer cell cytotoxicity. Specifically, we measured similar levels of cytotoxicity for either pure GBA or an equilibrated mixture of GBA/ epi-GBA in MBA-MB-231 cells with IC50 values at submicromolar concentration and induction of apoptosis after 12 hours of incubation. The results validate the pharmacological promise of gambogic acid and, combined with the multigram-scale isolation, should enable drug design and development studies.
