Four New Bioactive Pyrrole-Derived Alkaloids from the Marine Sponge AxinellabrevistylaClick to copy article linkArticle link copied!
Abstract
Four new alkaloids (1−4) were isolated from the marine sponge Axinella brevistyla, and their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. The alkaloids 1−4 were antifungal against the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae at <1.0, <1.0, 30, and 100 μg/disk, respectively. Compounds 1−3 also exhibited cytotoxicity against L1210 cells with IC50 values of 1.1, 0.66, and 2.5 μg/mL, respectively.
