Abstract

Two new prenylated para-xylenes, named caulerprenylols A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the green alga Caulerpa racemosa, collected from the Zhanjiang coastline, China. The structures of the two metabolites were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis. This is the first report of prenylated para-xylenes from marine algae and from marine organisms as well. Moreover, caulerprenylol B (2) is also characterized by an uncommon indane ring system. In in vitro bioassays, the new compounds exhibited a broad spectrum of antifungal activity against Candida glabrata (537), Trichophyton rubrum (Cmccftla), and Cryptococcus neoformans (32609) with MIC80 values between 4 and 64 μg/mL when compared to amphotericin B (MIC80 values of 2.0, 1.0, and 4.0 μg/mL, respectively) as a positive control and showed no growth inhibition activity against the tumor cells HL60 and A549.
