Three new sesquiterpene hydroquinones, avapyran (1), 17-O-acetylavarol (2), and 17-O-acetylneoavarol (3), were isolated from a Dysidea sp. marine sponge collected in Okinawa together with five known congeners: avarol (4), neoavarol (5), 20-O-acetylavarol (6), 20-O-acetylneoavarol (7), and 3'-aminoavarone (8). The structures of 1-3 were assigned on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Compounds 1-3 inhibited the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B with IC50 values of 11, 9.5, and 6.5 μM, respectively, while known compounds 4-8 gave IC50 values of 12, >32, 10, 8.6, and 18 μM, respectively. In a preliminary investigation on structure-activity relationships, six ester and methoxy derivatives (9-14) were prepared from 4 and 5.

SERCA Modulators Reveal Distinct Signaling and Functional Roles of T Lymphocyte Ca Stores.

The allosteric SERCA (Sarcoplasmic/Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca-ATPase) activator CDN1163 has been recently added to the group of pharmacological tools for probing SERCA function. We chose to investigate the effects of the compound on T lymphocyte Ca stores, using the well-described Jurkat T lymphocyte as a reliable cell system for Ca signaling pathways. Our study identified the lowest concentrations of the SERCA inhibitors thapsigargin (TG) and 2,5-di-( butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (tBHQ) capable of releasing Ca, permitting the differentiation of the TG-sensitive SERCA 2b Ca store from the tBHQ-sensitive SERCA 3 Ca store.

Genomics-guided methodologies have revolutionized the discovery of natural products. However, a major challenge in the field of genome mining is determining how to selectively extract biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for untapped natural products from numerous available genome sequences. In this study, we developed a fungal genome mining tool that extracts BGCs encoding enzymes that lack a detectable protein domain (i.

Six new sesquiterpene quinone/hydroquinone meroterpenoids, arenarialins A-F (-), were isolated from the marine sponge collected from the South China Sea. Their chemical structures and absolute configurations were determined by HRMS and NMR data analyses coupled with DP4+ and ECD calculations. Arenarialin A () features an unprecedented tetracyclic 6/6/5/6 carbon skeleton, whereas arenarialins B-D (-) possess two rare secomeroterpene scaffolds.

Pseudoceranoid A (), a rare merosesquiterpene featuring a rearranged 4,9-friedodrimane-type core with a crotonolactone moiety, two new rearranged 4,9-friedodrimane-type sesquiterpene cyclopentanones ( and ), and three new rearranged 4,9-friedodrimane-type sesquiterpene hydroquinones (-), along with two new drimane-type sesquiterpene derivatives ( and ), as well as two new 4,9-friedodrimane-type sesquiterpene quinones ( and ), were isolated from the South China Sea sponge . The structures of compounds were established by analysis of spectroscopic data, as well as by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, DP4+ probability analyses, and calculated electronic circular dichroism. Compound showed weak cytotoxicity against K562, H69AR, and MDAMB-231 cell lines with IC values of 3.
