The Antarctic sponge is rich in defensive terpenoids with promising antimicrobial potential. Investigation of this demosponge has resulted in the generation of a small chemical library containing diterpenoid secondary metabolites with bioactivity in an infectious disease screening campaign focused on , , and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) biofilm. In total, eleven natural products were isolated, including three new compounds designated dendrillins B-D (-). Chemical modification of abundant natural products led to three semisynthetic derivatives (-), which were also screened. Several compounds showed potency against the leishmaniasis parasite, with the natural products tetrahydroaplysulphurin-1 () and dendrillin B (), as well as the semisynthetic triol , displaying single-digit micromolar activity and low mammalian cytotoxicity. Triol displayed the best profile against the liver-stage malaria parasites, while membranolide () and dendrillin C () were strong hits against MRSA biofilm cultures.
南极海绵富含具有潜在抗菌作用的防御性萜类化合物。对这种普通海绵的研究产生了一个小型化学文库,其中包含具有生物活性的二萜类次生代谢产物,这些产物在针对耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)生物膜的传染病筛选活动中具有活性。总共分离出 11 种天然产物,包括 3 种新化合物,分别命名为 dendrillins B-D (-)。对丰富的天然产物进行化学修饰得到了 3 种半合成衍生物 (-),也对其进行了筛选。几种化合物对利什曼原虫表现出了很强的活性,天然产物四氢阿朴硫因-1 () 和 dendrillin B (),以及半合成三醇, 显示出个位数微摩尔的活性和低哺乳动物细胞毒性。三醇 对肝期疟原虫表现出最好的活性,而 membranolide () 和 dendrillin C () 则是抗 MRSA 生物膜培养物的强抑制剂。
