Chemical investigation of the Mediterranean ascidian Ciona edwardsii has been performed, leading to the isolation of two halogenated compounds: a new tyrosineiodinated derivative iodocionin (1) and the relevant brominated analogue (2), previously isolated from a Caribbean sponge. The structure of the new compound 1 has been assigned on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Both compounds were tested for cytotoxicity in vitro against two different cancer cell lines, L5178Y (mouse lymphoma) and PC-12 (rat pheochromocytoma). Iodocionin was shown to possess significant and selective activity against lymphoma cells with an IC(50) of 7.75 microg/mL.
对地中海海鞘 Ciona edwardsii 进行了化学研究,分离得到两种卤代化合物:一种新型酪氨酸碘化衍生物碘代海鞘素(1)和以前从加勒比海绵中分离得到的相关溴代类似物(2)。根据光谱分析确定了新化合物 1 的结构。两种化合物均在体外针对两种不同的癌细胞系(L5178Y(小鼠淋巴瘤)和 PC-12(大鼠嗜铬细胞瘤))进行了细胞毒性测试。结果表明,碘代海鞘素对淋巴瘤细胞具有显著的选择性活性,IC50 为 7.75μg/mL。
