Kinase-Inhibitory Nucleoside Derivatives from the Pacific Bryozoan .

Marine organisms are a valuable source of bioactive natural products, yet bryozoan invertebrates have been relatively understudied. Herein, we report nelliellosides A and B, new secondary metabolites of the Pacific bryozoan , found using NMR-guided isolation. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated using spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. Total synthesis of the natural products and four analogues was also achieved, in addition to an assessment of their biological activity, especially kinase inhibition.
