Antiproliferative homoscalarane sesterterpenes from two Madagascan sponges
2013
Abstract Dereplication of the antiproliferative ethyl acetate fraction of the Madagascan sponge Carteriospongia sp. led to the detection and isolation of the two known homoscalarane-type sesterterpenes 1 and 2 . Investigation of a similar sponge containing closely related compounds afforded the four new antiproliferative homoscalarane sesterterpenes ( 3 and 5 − 7 ). The structures of all isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including UV, IR and 1D and 2D NMR. Compounds 1 , 3 and 5 displayed submicromolar antiproliferative activity against the A2780 ovarian cell line with IC 50 values of 0.65, 0.26 and 0.28 μM, respectively, while compounds 6 and 7 showed moderate activity (4.5 and 8.7 μM, respectively). Compounds 3 and 5 also displayed anti-proliferative activity against the H522-T1 non-small cell lung and A2058 human melanoma cancer cell lines.
