Abstract
A further and systematic chemical investigation was carried out on the marine sponge Phyllospongia foliascens, collected from the Yongle Islands in the South China Sea, leading to the isolation of 17 scalarane-type sesterterpenoids, including five new compounds (1–5) and twelve known analogues (6–17). Their structures were determined using spectral analysis in conjunction with NMR/ECD calculations. Among the compounds, the pentacyclic sesterterpenoids 3 and 4 (featuring a 6/6/6/6/5 ring system) exhibited signal splitting in their 13C NMR spectra recorded in CDCl3. This challenge was resolved by stabilizing a single configuration through NMR solvent alteration and NMR experiment temperature variation, providing a reference strategy for similar issues. Cytotoxicity evaluation using the CCK-8 assay revealed that compound 3 was active against both K562 and U937 cell lines (IC50 = 9.00 μM and 8.45 μM, respectively), while compound 4 exhibited significant and selective cytotoxicity against K562 cells (IC50 = 5.69 μM).
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
