Great Australian Bight

A Sigmosceptrella sp. of sponge collected during trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight, Australia, has yielded a series of new norterpenes. These include a new bisnorditerpene, sigmosceptrin-A (5); two new norditerpenes, sigmosceptrin-B (14) and sigmosceptrin-C (15), isolated as their methyl esters (6) and (7) respectively; and an ethylated artefact, sigmosceptrin-B ethyl ester (8). Complete stereostructures were assigned to the sigmosceptrins by spectroscopic analysis, chemical degradation, derivatization, and by a single-crystal X-ray structural analysis. A biosynthetic pathway is proposed that requires a common biosynthetic precursor to both the sigmosceptrins and norterpene cyclic peroxides.

Steroidal Lactone

Mycalone (1), a new steroid incorporating a novel six- membered lactone side chain, has been isolated fram a southern Australian marine sponge, Mycale sp. The gross structure for mycalone (1) was secured by spectroscopic analysis, and the stereochemistry established by a single-crystal X-ray structure determination.

From the deep violet, encrusting marine sponge Chelonaplysilla violacea, two rearranged spongian diterpenes, aplyviolene, (1R*,1′S*,3?aR*,5R*,6R*,8R*,8′aS*)-3-oxo-8-(1′,4′,4′-trimethyl-8′-methylenedecahydroazulen-1′-yl)-2,7-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-yl acetate (1), the acetoxy derivative, aplyviolacene (2), (5R*,8S*,9S*,10R*,13S*,14R* ,15S*,16R*)-spongian-15,16-diyl diacetate (3) and (5R*,8S*,9S*,10R*,13S*,14R*)-spongian-16-one (4) were isolated. The structures were determined by spectroscopic methods, and the structure of aplyviolene was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray determination. The crystal structure was refined to a residual of 0.036 for 1125 independent observed reflections. The crystals were orthorhombic, space group P212121 with a 8.098(1), b 11.628(1), c 21.774(3)Ǻ.

Drimane Sesquiterpenoids

Chemical investigation of an undescribed Australian fungus, Aspergillus nanangensis, led to the identification of the nanangenines – a family of seven new and three previously reported drimane sesquiterpenoids. The structures of the nanangenines were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis supported by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The compounds were assayed for in vitro activity against bacteria, fungi, mammalian cells and plants. Bioinformatics analysis, including comparative analysis with other acyl drimenol-producing Aspergilli, led to the identification of a putative nanangenine biosynthetic gene cluster that corresponds to the proposed biosynthetic pathway for nanangenines.

The norditerpene diene acid (4) and norsesterterpene diene acid (5), along with their corresponding methyl esters (6) and (7), were isolated from an Australian marine sponge, Latrunculia brevis, and their structures determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis, chemical derivatization and degradation. Comment is made on the possible intermediacy of dienes such as (4)-(7) in the biosynthesis of norterpene cyclic peroxides, common to other Latrunculia species from the same locality.

Unambiguous Assignment

A chemical investigation of a large purple sponge, Spongia sp., from the Great Australian Bight, resulted in the isolation of a new sesquiterpene/quinone (8), together with the known compounds dehydrocyclospongiaquinone-1 (4) and spongiaquinone (2). The last compound was also isolated as the potassium salt (9), this being the first recorded account of a naturally occurring marine sesquiterpene/quinone salt. The structure for (8) was assigned by detailed spectroscopic analysis. A re-investigation into the stereostructure of spongiaquinone (2) resulted in the first unambiguous assignment of absolute stereochemistry, and uncovered the peculiar chiroptical properties of spongiaquinone (2) and its potassium salt (9).

Structure Class

Eleven alkyl and alkenyl resorcinols have been isolated from the Australian marine sponge Haliclona sp. Three of these, (3), (5) and (10), have previously been described from Australian terrestrial and marine plant sources. The remaining eight, (13)-(20), are new natural products whose structures have been secured by a combination of spectroscopic analysis and chemical degradation. This report represents the first account of this structure class being isolated from a non-plant source.
