Description
Summary:Five new sesterterpenes, 14,15-dehydro-6- -ophiobolin K ( ), 14,15-dehydro- ophiobolin K ( ), 14,15-dehydro-6- -ophiobolin G ( ), 14,15-dehydro-ophiobolin G ( ) and 14,15-dehydro-( )-14-ophiobolin G ( ), together with four known ophiobolins ( - ) were isolated from the marine fungus derived from the seaweed sp. collected in Vietnam. The five new ophiobolins were first isolated as ophiobolin derivatives consisting of a fully unsaturated side chain. Their structures were elucidated via spectroscopic methods including 1D, 2D NMR and HR-ESIMS. The absolute configurations were determined by the comparison of chemical shifts and optical rotation values with those of known ophiobolins. All compounds ( - ) were then evaluated for their cytotoxicity against six cancer cell lines, HCT-15, NUGC-3, NCI-H23, ACHN, PC-3 and MDA-MB-231. All the compounds showed potent cytotoxicity with GI values ranging from 0.14 to 2.01 μM.
