Deskripsi

Intensive study on the chemical components of a Korean marine sponge, <i>Spongia</i> sp., has led to the isolation of four new scalarane sesterterpenes, scalalactams A&#8315;D (<b>1</b>&#8315;<b>4</b>). Their chemical structures were elucidated from the analysis of spectroscopic data including 1D-and 2D-NMR as well as MS data. Scalalactams A&#8315;D (<b>1</b>&#8315;<b>4</b>) possess a scalarane carbon skeleton with a rare structural feature of a &#947;-lactam moiety within the molecules. Scalalactams A and B (<b>1</b> and <b>2</b>) have an extended isopropanyl chain at the lactam ring, and scalalactams C and D (<b>3</b> and <b>4</b>) possess a phenethyl group at the lactam ring moiety. Scalalactams A&#8315;D (<b>1</b>&#8315;<b>4</b>) did not show FXR antagonistic activity nor cytotoxicity up to 100 &#956;M.
