Four novel steroidal alkaloids named cortistatins A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4) consisting of a 9(10-19)-abeo-androstane and isoquinoline skeleton have been isolated from the marine sponge Corticium simplex. The absolute stereostructures of 1-4 were elucidated by detailed 2D NMR, CD, and X-ray crystallographic analyses. Cortistatins A-D inhibited proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with high selectivity. Among the four substances, cortistatin A (1) showed the strongest anti-proliferative activity (IC50 = 0.0018 muM) against HUVECs, in which the selective index was more than 3000-fold in comparison with that of normal fibroblast or several tumor cell lines.
从海洋海绵简单皮质海绵(Corticium simplex)中分离出了四种新型甾体生物碱,分别命名为皮质抑素A(1)、B(2)、C(3)和D(4),它们由一个9(10 - 19)-去甲-雄甾烷和异喹啉骨架组成。通过详细的二维核磁共振(2D NMR)、圆二色光谱(CD)和X射线晶体学分析确定了1 - 4的绝对立体结构。皮质抑素A - D对人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)的增殖具有高度选择性抑制作用。在这四种物质中,皮质抑素A(1)对HUVECs表现出最强的抗增殖活性(IC50 = 0.0018 μM),与正常成纤维细胞或几种肿瘤细胞系相比,其选择性指数超过3000倍。
