چکیده

Chemical analysis of the secondary metabolites of the Caribbean sponge Plakortis simplex, a source of many bioactive compounds, showed the presence of the new metabolite simplexidine (4), belonging to the extremely rare class of 4-alkyl-pyridinium alkaloids. The structural characterization of this molecule, based on spectroscopic methods, is reported.

New Constituents from the Korean Sponge Plakortis simplex

Six new cyclic peroxides (1-6) were isolated from the Korean sponge Plakortis simplex, along with two new alkylpyridinium alkaloids (7 and 8). The structures of these compounds were completely determined by a combination of NMR analysis and chemical reactions. Compounds 1-6 exhibited cytotoxic/antifungal activities against RAW264.7 cells and Candida albicans.

Identification of Plakortide E from the Caribbean Sponge Plakortis halichondroides as a Trypanocidal Protease Inhibitor using Bioactivity-Guided Fractionation

In this paper, we report new protease inhibitory activity of plakortide E towards cathepsins and cathepsin-like parasitic proteases. We further report on its anti-parasitic activity against Trypanosoma brucei with an IC₅₀ value of 5 μM and without cytotoxic effects against J774.1 macrophages at 100 μM concentration. Plakortide E was isolated from the sponge Plakortis halichondroides using enzym...

Thiaplakortones A-D: antimalarial thiazine alkaloids from the Australian marine sponge Plakortis lita.

A high-throughput screening campaign using a prefractionated natural product library and an in vitro antimalarial assay identified active fractions derived from the Australian marine sponge Plakortis lita . Bioassay-guided fractionation of the CH2Cl2/CH3OH extract from P. lita resulted in the purification of four novel thiazine-derived alkaloids, thiaplakortones A-D (1-4). The chemical structur...

Woodylides A–C, New Cytotoxic Linear Polyketides from the South China Sea Sponge Plakortis simplex

Three new polyketides, woodylides A-C (1-3), were isolated from the ethanol extract of the South China Sea sponge Plakortis simplex. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data (IR, 1D and 2D NMR, and HRESIMS). The absolute configurations at C-3 of 1 and 3 were determined by the modified Mosher's method. Antifungal, cytotoxic, and PTP1B inhibitory activities of these polyketides were e...
