Phorboxazoles A and B: potent cytostatic macrolides from marine sponge Phorbas species

Journal of the American Chemical Society
1995.0

Abstract

Two new antifungal and cytostatic macrolides, phorboxazoles A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from the Indian Ocean marine sponge Phorbas sp. Structural assignment was accomplished through extensive 2D NMR spectroscopy including COSY, RCT, HMQC, and HMBC. The complete relative stereochemistry about the macrolide ring and solution conformation of 1 were established from analysis of ROESY experiments. Phorboxazoles A and B exhibit in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans at 0.1 pgldisk and extraordinary cytostatic activity (mean GI50 7.9 x M in the National Cancer Institute's 60 tumor cell line panel).
