The Republic of Palau marine sponge Axinella sp. was found to be an exceptionally productive source of cell growth inhibitory substances. The strongly antineoplastic polyether macrocyclic lactones halichondrin B (1) and homohalichondrin B (2) were isolated in 1.2 x 10(-6)% and 5.4 x 10(-7)% yields, respectively. In addition to axinastatin 1 (3), two new and cytostatic (GI50 values of 0.35 to 0.0072 microgram/mL against six human cancer cell lines) cycloheptapeptides designated axinastatins 2 (4) and 3 (5) were discovered in 1.4 x 10(-6)% and 1.25 x 10(-6)% yields. Structures were elucidated by high-resolution FABMS and tandem MS/MS techniques augmented by high-field (400 and 500 MHz) 2D-NMR spectral analyses. The absolute configurations were established by a combination of hydrolysis, derivatization, and chiral gas chromatographic methods.
帕劳共和国的海洋海绵Axinella sp.被发现是细胞生长抑制物质的一个极为丰富的来源。强抗肿瘤聚醚大环内酯类化合物halichondrin B(1)和高halichondrin B(2)的分离产率分别为1.2×10⁻⁶%和5.4×10⁻⁷%。除了轴抑素1(3)之外,还发现了两种新的具有细胞抑制作用(对六种人类癌细胞系的GI50值为0.35至0.0072微克/毫升)的环庚肽,分别命名为轴抑素2(4)和轴抑素3(5),产率分别为1.4×10⁻⁶%和1.25×10⁻⁶%。通过高分辨率FABMS和串联MS/MS技术,并辅以高场(400和500 MHz)二维NMR光谱分析来阐明其结构。通过水解、衍生化和手性气相色谱方法相结合确定了绝对构型。
