S. Tsukamoto et al., Hachijodines A-G: Seven new cytotoxic 3-alkylpyridine alkaloids from two marine sponges of the genera Xestospongia and Amphimedon, J NAT PROD, 63(5), 2000, pp. 682-684
Seven cytotoxic 3-alkylpyridine alkaloids, hachijodines A-G, have been isol
ated from two marine sponges of the genera Xestospongia and Amphimedon. The
ir structures were determined on the basis of spectral data. These alkaloid
s are moderately cytotoxic against P388 murine leukemia cells with IC50 val
ues of 1.0-2.3 mu g/mL.
