Abstract

The wide ranging marine sponge Hyrtios erecta is the source of the spongistatins, a new class of macrocyclic lactone antineoplastic agents. Continuation of a detailed investigation of cancer cell growth inhibitory (P388 lymphocytic leukemia) fractions (trace) from H. erecta has revealed the presence (10^-5 to 10^-7% yield) of cytotoxic pentacyclic sesterterpenes. Employing P388 leukemia and human tumor cell line-guided bioassay techniques, two new moderate inhibitors of cancer cells were isolated and named sesterstatins 4 (1a, P388 ED₅₀ 4.9 μg/mL) and 5 (1b, DU-145 prostate GI₅₀ 1.9 μg/mL). Similar to other sesterterpenes, sesterstatin 5 inhibited growth of a Gram-positive bacterium. High field (500 MHz) 2-D NMR techniques were primarily employed for initial structural assignments, and structural assignments were confirmed by X-ray crystal structure determination of sesterstatin 4 (1a) and 5 (1b).
