Five new steroidal imidazoles, amaranzoles B-F, were isolated from extracts of the marine sponge Phorbas amaranthus along with the known amaranzole A. The C24-N-(4-p-hydroxyphenyl)imidazol-5-yl constitution found in amaranzoles A, C, and D is replaced by a C24-O-(4-p-hydroxyphenyl)imidazole-2-carboxylate motif in amaranzoles B, E, and F. The structures were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data. The C24 side chain configuration was assigned by synthesis of a model ester followed by chiroptical comparisons of its CD spectrum with that of an amaranzole B derivative.
从海洋海绵 Phorbas amaranthus 的提取物中分离出了五种新型甾体咪唑,分别为 amaranzoles B-F,同时还分离出了已知的 amaranzole A。在 amaranzoles A、C 和 D 中发现的 C24-N-(4-对羟基苯基)咪唑-5-基结构被 amaranzoles B、E 和 F 中的 C24-O-(4-对羟基苯基)咪唑-2-羧酸酯取代。通过光谱数据的解释阐明了这些结构。通过合成模型酯并比较其圆二色光谱与 amaranzole B 衍生物的圆二色光谱,确定了 C24 侧链的构型。
