Chemical analysis of the Mediterranean ascidian Polyandrocarpa zorritensis (Van Name 1931) resulted in the isolation of a series of molecules including two monoindole alkaloids, 3-indolylglyoxylic acid (3) and its methyl ester (4), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylglyoxylic acid methyl ester (1) and a new alkaloid we named zorrimidazolone (2). The structure of the novel compound 2 has been elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and bioactivity of all compounds has been investigated. Zorrimidazolone (2) showed a modest cytotoxic activity against C6 rat glioma cell line.
对地中海贻贝 Polyandrocarpa zorritensis(Van Name 1931)的化学分析导致分离出一系列分子,包括两种单吲哚生物碱,3-吲哚基乙醛酸(3)及其甲酯(4),4-羟基-3-甲氧基苯乙醛酸甲酯(1)和一种我们命名为 zorrimidazolone(2)的新生物碱。通过光谱分析阐明了新型化合物 2 的结构,并研究了所有化合物的生物活性。zorrimidazolone(2)对 C6 大鼠神经胶质瘤细胞系表现出适度的细胞毒性活性。
