AI Article Synopsis
- Methyl tortuoate D was isolated from the soft coral Sarcophyton tortuosum along with five other related bis-cembranoids.
- The structure of methyl tortuoate D was revised based on detailed nuclear magnetic resonance analysis and literature comparison.
- Lobophytone K, isolated from another coral species, was identified as the same compound as methyl tortuoate D, and its absolute configuration was determined using electronic circular dichroism.
Article Abstract
Methyl tortuoate D (1), together with five other known related bis-cembranoids, was isolated from Hainan soft coral Sarcophyton tortuosum. The structure of methyl tortuoate D (1a), firstly isolated and reported by Li et al. from the title organism, was corrected as 1 by an extensive analysis of its one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance data and by comparison with those reported in the literature. In addition, lobophytone K (1b), recently isolated from Hainan soft coral Lobophytum pauciflorum by Lin et al., was proved to be the same compound as 1 and 1a. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined by comparing its electronic circular dichroism curve with that of co-occurring ximaolide A (2).

One new biscembranoid, petronigrione (1), and five known compounds, methyl tortuoate B (2), lobophytone U (3), lobophytone H (4), (24S)-ergostane 3beta, 5alpha, 6beta, 25 tetraol-25-monoacetate (5), and (24S)-ergostane-1beta, 3beta, 5alpha, 6beta, 25-pentaol-25-monoacetate (6), were isolated from the methanol extract of the marine sponge Petrosia nigricans. Their structures were established on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence. The cytotoxicity of all compounds was evaluated by MTT assay on four human cancer cell lines, HepG2, KB, LU-1, and MCF-7.

Under the guidance of chemical prescreening by direct infusion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DI ESI-MS), a new tetracyclic tetraterpenoid, methyl tortuoate D (1) was isolated from the soft coral Sarcophyton tortuosum collected from the South China Sea. Its structure and relative stereochemistry were established by MS, and 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic techniques.

Two new cytotoxic tetracyclic tetraterpenoids, methyl tortuoate A (1) and methyl tortuoate B (2), along with the known methyl sartortuoate (3) were isolated from the soft coral Sarcophyton tortuosum. The structures of 1 and 2 were established by spectroscopic methods, mainly on the basis of 2D NMR techniques, and were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The cytotoxic activities of these compounds were carried out in vitro on human nasophyringeal carcinoma (CNE-2) and murine lymphocytic leukemia (P-388) tumor cell lines.
