چکیده
A new bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoid, (E)-3-isocyanobisabolane-7,10-diene (1), and a new epidioxyergostane-type steroid, 9(11)-dehydroaxinysterol (2), were isolated from the Okinawan sponge of the genus Axinyssa. Their structures were elucidated based on the results of spectroscopic analysis and chemical conversion. Epidioxysterol 2 was found to show significant growth inhibitory effects against human cancer cell lines.

Fractionation of an acetone-methanol (1:1) extract of the Caribbean marine sponge Axinyssa ambrosia yielded three new sesquiterpenes whose structures were established by spectroscopic methods as (4R*,5R*,7S*,10R*)-eudesm-11-en-4-ylamine hydrochloride (1), axinyssamine hydrochloride, (4R*,5R*,7S*,10R*)-4-isocyanatoeudesm-11-ene (3), and (4R*,5R*,7S*,10R*)-formamidoeudesm-11-ene (4). Compound 1 e...
متن کاملIsolation of ASR7 Actinomycete Isolated from S12 Demospongia Marine Sponge and Study of Its Antibacterial Activity
Background and Aims: Marine Actinomycetes are gram-positive bacteria that sometimes are free, saprophytic or plant and animal-associated, including marine sponges. More than 75% of antibiotics and antimicrobial compounds are produced by actinomycetes. In recent years, due to the need for new drugs, marine microorganisms have been considered as new sources of potential production of significant ...
متن کاملBiosynthetic pathways to isocyanides and isothiocyanates; precursor incorporation studies on terpene metabolites in the tropical marine sponges Amphimedon terpenensis and Axinyssa n.sp.
The biosynthetic origins of the isocyanide and isothiocyanate functional groups in the marine sponge metabolites diisocyanoadociane (1), 9-isocyanopupukeanane (10) and 9-isothiocyanatopupukeanane (11) are probed by the use of [(14)C]-labelled precursor experiments. Incubation of the sponge Amphimedon terpenensis with [(14)C]-labelled thiocyanate resulted in radioactive diisocyanoadociane (1) in...
متن کاملAntimalarial Activity of Axidjiferosides, New β-Galactosylceramides from the African Sponge Axinyssa djiferi
The marine sponge, Axinyssa djiferi, collected on mangrove tree roots in Senegal, was investigated for glycolipids. A mixture containing new glycosphingolipids, named axidjiferoside-A, -B and -C, accounted for 0.07% of sponge biomass (dry weight) and for 2.16% of total lipids. It showed a significant antimalarial activity, with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.53 ± 0.2 μM against a ch...
