Koshikamide A2, a cytotoxic linear undecapeptide isolated from a marine sponge of Theonella sp.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Koshikamide A2 (2) was isolated as a cytotoxic metabolite from a marine sponge of Theonella sp. Its structure was elucidated to be a linear undecapeptide by spectroscopic and chemical methods, together with enzymatic conversion to known koshikamide A1 (1). The new peptide moderately inhibited the growth of P388 murine leukemia cells.

Marine macroand micro-organisms collected in Okinawa are good sources of compounds with intriguing structures and interesting biological activities. Synthetic hybrid molecules of caffeine and eudistomin D from tunicates Eudistoma sp. were found to show better potency as adenosine receptor ligands than caffeine, and one of them exhibits potent activity for adenosine receptors tested, especially ...
متن کاملAntitumor polyketide biosynthesis by an uncultivated bacterial symbiont of the marine sponge Theonella swinhoei.
Bacterial symbionts have long been suspected to be the true producers of many drug candidates isolated from marine invertebrates. Sponges, the most important marine source of biologically active natural products, have been frequently hypothesized to contain compounds of bacterial origin. This symbiont hypothesis, however, remained unproven because of a general inability to cultivate the suspect...
متن کاملTheonellamide G, a Potent Antifungal and Cytotoxic Bicyclic Glycopeptide from the Red Sea Marine Sponge Theonella swinhoei
In our search for bioactive metabolites from marine organisms, we have investigated the polar fraction of the organic extract of the Red Sea sponge Theonella swinhoei. Successive chromatographic separations and final HPLC purification of the potent antifungal fraction afforded a new bicyclic glycopeptide, theonellamide G. The structure of the peptide was determined using extensive 1D and 2D NMR...
