4-Methylenesterols from a Sponge Theonella swinhoei
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three new 4-methylenesterols, theonellasterol K (1), acetyltheonellasterol (2) and acetyldehydroconicasterol (3), along with two known sterols, theonellasterol (4) and theonellasterone (5), were isolated from the sponge Theonella swinhoei. 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. Compound 1 exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against HCT-116, K562 and Molt 4 cancer cell lines.

Dehydroconicasterol and aurantoic acid, a chlorinated polyene derivative, from the Indonesian sponge Theonella swinhoei.
The chlorinated polyene aurantoic acid (1) and the 4-methylene sterol dehydroconicasterol (2) were isolated from the Indonesian sponge Theonella swinhoei, and their structures were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data. Aurantoic acid is a unique member in the class of naturally occurring conjugated polyene derivatives, while dehydroconicasterol is the likely biogenetic precursor o...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Synechococcus spongiarum” m9, Binned from a Metagenome of South China Sea Sponge Theonella swinhoei
"Candidatus Synechococcus spongiarum" represents the widespread cyanobacterial symbionts found in marine sponges with relatively high genomic variability and likely important ecological roles. We present here the draft genome sequence of "Candidatus Synechococcus spongiarum" m9, which was assembled from a metagenome of Theonella swinhoei sampled in the South China Sea.
متن کاملSwinholide J, a Potent Cytotoxin from the Marine Sponge Theonella swinhoei
In our ongoing search for new pharmacologically active leads from Solomon organisms, we have examined the sponge Theonella swinhoei. Herein we report the isolation and structure elucidation of swinholide A (1) and one new macrolide, swinholide J (2). Swinholide J is an unprecedented asymmetric 44-membered dilactone with an epoxide functionality in half of the molecule. The structural determinat...
متن کاملCulturable associated-bacteria of the sponge Theonella swinhoei show tolerance to high arsenic concentrations
Sponges are potent filter feeders and as such are exposed to high fluxes of toxic trace elements, which can accumulate in their body over time. Such is the case of the Red Sea sponge Theonella swinhoei, which has been shown to accumulate up to 8500 mg/Kg of the highly toxicelement arsenic. T. swinhoei is known to harbor a multitude of sponge-associated bacteria, so it is hypothesized that the a...
متن کاملTowards new ligands of nuclear receptors. Discovery of malaitasterol A, an unique bis-secosterol from marine sponge Theonella swinhoei.
Malaitasterol A, an unprecedented bis-secosterol, was isolated from a Solomon collection of Theonella swinhoei. The structure was elucidated on the basis of a combination of comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis, high-resolution mass spectrometry and DFT (13)C chemical shift calculations. The biological characterization of malaitasterol A provided evidence that this compound is a potent agonist ...
