Ji. Jimenez et al., Honulactones: New bishomoscalarane sesterterpenes from the Indonesian sponge Strepsichordaia aliena, J ORG CHEM, 65(21), 2000, pp. 6837-6840
From the dichloromethane/2-propanol (1:1) extract of the Indonesian marine
sponge Strepsichordaia aliena, twelve new 20,24-bishomoscalarane sesterterp
enes, honulactones A-L (1-12) were isolated. Molecular structures were secu
red by spectroscopic methods,accurate mass measurements, and X-ray analysis
. Honulactones A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4) exhibit cytotoxycity against
P-388, A-549 HT-29, and MEL-28 (IC50 1 mug/mL).
