A new natural indole, vibrindole B (1), together with known analogs, vibrindole A (2), trisindoline (3), norharmane (4), and 3-(hydroxyacetyl)indole (5), produced by the bacterium Pseudovibrio denitrificans P81, were isolated from a sponge, Aaptos species. The structures of indoles 1 to 5 were established by spectroscopic methods. The proposed biosynthetic pathway of 1 to 5 is also discussed, starting from tryptophan. Moreover, indoles 1 to 3 were found to exhibit cytotoxicity toward T24 tumor cells with IC50 values of 1.71 ± 0.11, 4.53 ± 0.14, and 2.26 ± 0.26 µM, respectively.

Seven new polyoxygenated steroids belonging to a new structural group of sponge steroids, gracilosulfates A–G (1–7), possessing 3β-O-sulfonato, 5β,6β epoxy (or 5(6)-dehydro), and 4β,23-dihydroxy substitution patterns as a common structural motif, were isolated from the marine sponge Haliclona gracilis. Their structures were determined by NMR and MS methods. The compounds 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 inhibited the expression of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in 22Rv1 tumor cells.

Abstract SARS-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) encodes a main protease, 3CLpro, which plays an essential role in the viral life cycle and is currently the prime target for discovering new anti-coronavirus agents. In this article, we report our success in developing a novel red-shifted (RS) fluorescence-based assay for 3CLpro and its application for identifying small-molecule anti-SARS agents from marine organisms. We have synthesised and characterised the first generation of a red-shifted internally quenched fluorogenic substrate (RS-IQFS) for 3CLpro based on resonance energy transfer between the donor and acceptor pair CAL Fluor Red 610 and Black Hole Quencher-1 (K m and k cat values of 14 μM and 0.65 min-1). The RS-IQFS primary sequence was selected based on the results of our screening analysis of 3CLpro performed using a series of blue-shifted (BS)-IQFSs corresponding to the 3CLpro-mediated cleavage junctions of the SARS-CoV polyproteins. In contrast to BS-IQFSs, the RS-IQFS was not susceptible to fluorescence interference from coloured samples and allowed for successful screening of marine natural products and identification of a coumarin derivative, esculetin-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, a novel 3CLpro inhibitor (IC50=46 μM) and anti-SARS agent (EC50=112 μM; median toxic concentration >800 μM) from the tropical marine sponge Axinella corrugata.
