The obtusallenes are a significant subset of C15-halogenated acetogenins that incorporate 12-membered cyclic ethers. We have recently reported the isolation from Laurencia marilzae of 12-epoxyobtusallene IV (1) and its related α,β-unsaturated carboxylate ester (2), both of special biogenetic relevance. Here we describe the final step of our study, the isolation of three new analogues (3-5), among these, the first bromopropargylic derivative (3) of this class of macrocyclic C15-acetogenins. The structures were elucidated by analysis of NMR and X-ray data. 12-Epoxyobtusallene IV (1), its new isomer 4, and known obtusallene IV (6) were evaluated for their apoptosis-inducing activities in a human hepatocarcinoma cell line.

Five-membered rings are of particular interest, due to their presence in some of the most common molecules in chemistry and biology. Despite their apparent simplicity, the structural resolution of these rings is complex, due to their inherent conformational flexibility. Here, we describe an application of a recently reported simple and efficient NMR protocol based on the measurement of spin-spin coupling constants to achieve the challenging relative configurations of five new halogenated C15 tetrahydrofuranyl-acetogenins, marilzafurollenes A-D (1-4) and 12-acetoxy-marilzafurenyne (5), isolated from the red alga, Laurencia marilzae.

Nonterpenoid bromoallenes possessing a novel skeleton that incorporates an unprecedented [5.5.1]bicyclotridecane ring system, marilzabicycloallenes A-D (1-4), were isolated from specimens of Laurencia marilzae collected on the Canary Islands.

Eight new halogenated C(15) acetogenins, 1-8, were isolated from the organic extract of the red alga Laurencia marilzae. The structure elucidation and the assignments of the relative configurations were established by extensive use of spectroscopic studies, particularly 1D and 2D NMR data, while the absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 5 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7, along with the previously reported related cyclic ether obtusallene IV (9), were evaluated against six human solid tumor cell lines.
