Abstract
A chemical investigation of the extracts from the soft coral Litophyton brassicum led to the isolation and identification of four new meroterpenes, brassihydroxybenzoquinone A and B (1 and 2) and brassinaphthoquinone A and B (3 and 4), along with two known related meroterpenes (5 and 6). Their structures were elucidated using high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and a comparison with the literature data. All compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against six pathogenic bacterial strains and for cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines. In the cytotoxic assay, all compounds were inactive at 10 μM against the A549, HeLa, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. In the antibacterial assay, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranging from 8 to 64 μg/mL.
期刊介绍:
Marine Drugs (ISSN 1660-3397) publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes on the research, development and production of drugs from the sea. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information for bioactive compounds. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section.
