Compounds that stabilize p53 could suppress tumors providing a additional tool to fight cancer. Mdm2, and the human ortholog, Hdm2 serve as ubiquitin E3 ligases and target p53 for ubiquitylation and degradation. Inhibition of Hdm2 stabilizes p53, inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. Using HTS to discover inhibitors, we identified three new alkaloids, isolissoclinotoxin B, diplamine B, and lissoclinidine B from Lissoclinum cf. badium. Lissoclinidine B inhibited ubiquitylation and degradation of p53, and selectively killed transformed cells harboring wild-type p53, suggesting this compound could be used to develop new treatments.

Lissoclibadins, polysulfur aromatic alkaloids, were isolated from the Indonesian ascidian Lissoclinum cf. badium. Lissoclibadins 1 (1), 3 (2), 4 (3), 7 (4), 8 (5), and 14 (6) inhibited the growth of four human solid cancer cell lines: HCT-15 (colon adenocarcinoma), HeLa-S3 (cervix adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), and NCI-H28 (mesothelioma).

Four new polysulfur aromatic alkaloids, lissoclibadins 4 (1), 5 (2), 6 (3), and 7 (4), were isolated from the ascidian Lissoclinum cf. badium collected in Indonesia, together with seven known alkaloids, lissoclibadins 1 (5), 2 (6), and 3 (7), lissoclinotoxins E (8) and F (9), 3,4-dimethoxy-6-(2'-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)-5-(methylthio)benzotrithiane (10), and N,N-dimethyl-5-(methylthio)varacin (11). Compounds 1-11 were isolated from the ascidian collected in March (wet season), while 5-11 have been obtained previously from the organism collected in September (dry season) at the same site.

A detection method based on high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet diode-array detection and electrospray ionization ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-UV-ESI-MS/MS) was developed to investigate the total alkaloids prepared from the ascidian Lissoclinum cf. badium. The aromatic alkaloids possessing polysulfide structures are the major bioactive constituents isolated from ascidians of the genera Lissoclinum, Eudistoma, and Polycitor.
