Acetylene sponges can be created by taking advantage of the nonplanar geometry of hexaphenylbenzenes and the special capacity of the central aromatic ring to engage in C(sp)-H...pi interactions reinforced by secondary C(sp(2))-H...pi interactions, as revealed by X-ray crystallographic studies and DFT calculations.

There are various interactions that either partially fit or do not fit the currently accepted definitions of the hydrogen bond. However, they possess characteristics of this interaction. It seems that it is partly connected to the fact that these definitions are not precise.

A series of twenty-three linear and branched chain mono acetylene lipids were isolated from the Caribbean Sea sponge . Seventeen of the compounds, , are new, while six, , were previously characterized from the same sponge. Some of the new acetylene-3-hydroxy alkanes , , , , were tested for selective cytotoxicity in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells over WI-38 normal diploid lung fibroblasts.

Article Synopsis
- Three new polyacetylenes, named pellynols P (1), Q (2), and R (3), were discovered in the marine sponge Petrosia sp., alongside the already known pellynol H (4).
- Researchers determined the structures of these compounds using advanced techniques like NMR, HR-MS, and ESI-MS/MS.
- All four compounds showed strong cytotoxic effects against various cancer cell lines, with IC values ranging from 1.4 to 4.4 μM, indicating their potential as cancer treatments.

In continuation of our studies on a Vietnamese collection of a sp., sponge we have isolated two new isomalabaricane triterpenoids, stellettins Q and R ( and ), and four new isomalabaricane-derived -terpenoids, stellettins S-V -, along with previously known globostelletin N. Among them, compound contains an acetylenic fragment, unprecedented in the isomalabaricane family and extremely rare in other marine sponge terpenoids.

Significant inhibition of Aurora B was achieved by the synthesis of simplified fragments of benzosceptrins and oroidin belonging to the marine pyrrole-2-aminoimidazoles metabolites isolated from sponges. Evaluation of kinase inhibition enabled the discovery of a synthetically accessible rigid acetylenic structural analogue EL-228 (), whose structure could be optimized into the potent CJ2-150 (). Here we present the synthesis of new inhibitors of Aurora B kinase, which is an important target for cancer therapy through mitosis regulation.
