The marine natural product malevamide D from the cyanobacterium Symploca hydnoides was synthesized for the first time. The final peptide coupling linked the dolaisoleuine and dolaproine subunits. The phenyl group of malevamide D was also functionalized with a photoreactive diazirine moiety, which was carried through seven reaction steps. Comprehensive assessment of the cytotoxicity in a panel of 42 human cancer cell lines revealed a geomean IC70 value of 1.5 nM (IC50 0.7 nM) for malevamide D, whereas the photoreactive derivative proved to be less active by a factor of at least 200. COMPARE analysis indicated tubulin interaction as likely mode of action of malevamide D.

The first total synthesis of the unusual aromatic sesquiterpene panicein A2 is reported and the structure of the natural product has been confirmed. When tested by the NCI against a range of human cancer cell lines, it was found that panicein A2 exhibits very little antiproliferative activity at 10 μM – an observation that is at odds with the earlier report that stated panicein A2 exhibits in vitro cytotoxicity against a number of tumour cell lines.

AbstractAn indole alkaloid, 2-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxo-acetic acid (1) isolated for the first time from nature, in addition to the nine known compounds 5-hydroxy-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2), alocasin B (3), hyrtiosin B (4), α-monopalmitin (5), 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S, 3R, 4E, 8Z)-2-[(2(R)-hydroctadecanoyl) amido]-4,8-octadecadiene-1,3-diol (6), 3-epi-betulinic acid (7), 3-epi-ursolic acid (8),β-sitosterol (9) andβ-sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucoside (10) were isolated from the rhizomes ofAlocasia macrorrhiza(Araceae). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. Of these compounds,6exhibited the strongest cytotoxicity against the four tested human cancer cell lines (IC50of about 10 µM against Hep-2 larynx cancer cells).

To obtain diterpene glycosides from an aqueous extract of the aerial parts of Isodon henryi and further investigate their cytotoxicities, in this study, a total of seven compounds were isolated, including six ent-kaurane diterpene glycosides (1–6) and one diterpene aglycon (7). Among the seven ent-kaurane diterpenes obtained, four were novel compounds, including ent-7,20-epoxy- kaur-16-en-1α,6β,7β,15β-tetrahydroxyl-11-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), ent-7,20-epoxy-kaur-16-en- 6β,7β,14β,15β-tetrahydroxyl-1-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), ent-7,20-epoxy-kaur-16-en-6β,7β,15β- trihydroxyl-1-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), and ent-7,20-epoxy-kaur-16-en-7β,11β,14α,15β-tetrahydr- oxyl-6-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), and three were isolated from this plant for the first time (5–7). Their structures were elucidated by utilizing spectroscopic methods and electronic circular dichroism analyses. Furthermore, the cytotoxicities of all seven compounds were investigated in four human cancer cell lines, including A2780, BGC-823, HCT-116, and HepG2. The IC50 values of these diterpenes ranged from 0.18 to 2.44 mM in the tested cell lines. In addition, the structure–cytotoxicity relationship of diterpene glycosides was also evaluated to study the effect of glycosylation on the cytotoxicity of diterpene compounds.

Phytochemical investigation of Fissistigma cupreonitens (Annonaceae) led to the isolation of 34 compounds. The chemical structures of all compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods. Among the isolates, compounds 20–27 and 31–34 were reported from this genus for the first time. From the results of the cytotoxicity assay against three human cancer cell lines (NCI-H226, NPC-TW01, and Jurkat E6–1), oxoaporphine compounds oxoxylopine (1), oxocrebanine (3), kuafumine (4) and lysicamine (5), and the flavonoid adunctin E (26) displayed significant cytotoxicity against NCI-H226 cell line, with IC50 values of 8.45, 8.10, 8.54, 12.83 and 12.00 μM, respectively, in comparison with the standard drug, cisplatin with IC50 of 13.37 μM.

Two new compounds, dictyohydroperoxide 1 and hydroperoxyacetoxycrenulide 2, (Scheme 1) containing hydroperoxyl groups rarely found in algal terpenoids were isolated from the Russian population of brown alga Dictyota dichotoma. The known compounds acetoxycrenulide 4 and squalene were also found in this algal species for the first time. Some of the isolated compounds showed moderate cytoxicity against human cancer cell lines.

A new thiophene, echinothiophenegenol (1), together with seven known thiophenes was isolated from the crude ethanol extract of roots of Echinops grijisii Hance. The structure of 1 was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Compounds 2 and 5, isolated from the plant for the first time, and compounds 1 - 7 were tested for their cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines, HL60 and K562. The thiophenes showed better activity than the bithiophenes

The first bicyclic taxanes isolated in the needles of the Canadian yew were named canadensene 1 and 5-epi-canadensene 2. Four additional analogues (3–6), isolated previously in Taxus chinensis and Taxus mairei, and a new natural 5-epi-canadensene analog 7 with a C-20-cinnamoyl group, were characterized for the first time in the needles of Taxus canadensis. A bicyclic derivative 8 with a docetaxel side chain on C-20 was synthesized using 5-epi-canadensene 2 as starting material. The lack of bioactivities of these bicyclic analogues (tubulin polymerization and cytotoxicities against human cancer cell lines) is discussed.Key words: Taxus canadensis, Taxaceae, taxanes, natural products, semi-synthesis.

A new glycoxyuracil and 15 known compounds were isolated from the fruit body of Chlorophyllum molybdites. The structures were determined from their NMR and MS data and by comparison with literature data. Compounds 2–5, 10–11, 13, and 15–16 were isolated from the genus Chlorophyllum for the first time. Compounds (1–9) did not show cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines, A549 and Panc-28 (GI50 > 50 μM).
