Abstract
Four new polysulfur aromatic alkaloids, lissoclibadins 4 (1), 5 (2), 6 (3), and 7 (4), were isolated from the ascidian Lissoclinum cf. badium collected in Indonesia, together with seven known alkaloids, lissoclibadins 1 (5), 2 (6), and 3 (7), lissoclinotoxins E (8) and F (9), 3,4-dimemoxy-6-(2′-N,N- dimethylaminoethyl)-5-(methylthio)benzotrithiane (10), and N,N-dimethyl-5- (memylthio)varacin (11). Compounds 1-11 were isolated from the ascidian collected in March (wet season), while 5-11 have been obtained previously from the organism collected in September (dry season) at the same site. The structures of the new compounds were assigned on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Lissoclibadins 4-7 (1-4) inhibited the colony formation of Chinese hamster V79 cells with EC50 values of 0.71, 0.06, 0.06, and 0.17 μM, respectively. Compounds 1-4 showed also weak antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
