Cytotoxicity-guided fractionation of the alcohol extract of the brown alga, Cystoseira myrica, afforded four new cytotoxic hydroazulene diterpenes, dictyone acetate (2), dictyol F monoacetate (4), isodictytriol monoacetate (6), and cystoseirol monoacetate (8), together with two known cytotoxic hydroazulene diterpenes, pachydictyol A (1) and dictyone (3). The constitution of each isolated compound has been determined on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence.

A total synthesis of (-)-Hortonone C.
Tetrahedron
January 2017
Department of Chemistry, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro NM 87801, United States.
A total synthesis of the cytotoxic terpenoid hortonone C was accomplished and its absolute stereochemistry confirmed. Intermediate (+)- was synthesized using either an asymmetric conjugate addition strategy, or by elaboration of the Hajos-Parrish ketone. Reduction of (+)- under dissolving-metal conditions and trapping the enolate intermediate served to control the cis-stereochemistry at the ring fusion and provide a silyl enol ether necessary for ring expansion.

Two new hydroazulenoid (prenyl guaiane) diterpenes, dictyone acetate (2) and 3,4-epoxy 13-hydroxy pachydictyol A (4) were isolated from the petroleum ether fraction of the alcoholic extract of the brown alga, Dictyota dichotoma (Hudson) Lamouroux, which was collected from the Red Sea coasts at Hurgada, Egypt, together with three known ones, pachydictyol A (1), dictyone (3) and 11-hydroxypachydictyol A (dictyol E) (5). In addition, the steroidal compound, stigmasta-5,(E)-24(28)-dien-3-beta-ol (fucosterol) (6) was also isolated. The structures of the isolated compounds have been determined on the basis of spectroscopic evidences as well as physical and chemical correlation with known compounds.

Chem. Dept., Damiatta Faculty of Science-Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.
Study of the brown alga Sargassum crispum collected from Red Sea resulted in the isolation of new diterpene with hydroazulene skeleton, Sargassinone (6), some fatty acids ethyl ester andsome fatty acids. The identification of the isolated metabolites was established mainly by spectral methods and chemical transformation of sargassinone (6) to its acetate (7). The two diterpens (6, 7) exhibited substantial cytotoxic activities, as indicated by their IC50 values at the dose of 10 micrograms/ml or less.
