Cytotoxic Natural Products from Marine Sponge-Derived Microorganisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
A growing body of evidence indicates that marine sponge-derived microbes possess the potential ability to make prolific natural products with therapeutic effects. This review for the first time provides a comprehensive overview of new cytotoxic agents from these marine microbes over the last 62 years from 1955 to 2016, which are assorted into seven types: terpenes, alkaloids, peptides, aromatics, lactones, steroids, and miscellaneous compounds.

Two new 3-alkylpiperidine alkaloids, tetradehydrohalicyclamine A (2) and 22-hydroxyhalicyclamine A (3), have been isolated from a marine sponge Amphimedon sp. as cytotoxic constituents. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 2 and 3 inhibited growth of P388 cells with IC50 values of 2.2 and 0.45 microg/mL, respectively.

Marine biodiversity is recognized by a wide and unique array of fascinating structures. The complex associations of marine microorganisms, especially with sponges, bryozoans, and tunicates, make it extremely difficult to define the biosynthetic source of marine natural products or to deduce their ecological significance. Marine sponges and tunicates are important source of novel compounds for d...
