육질실해면속 (Sarcotragus)은 세계적으로 아직 많이 보고되지 않은 속으로 한국에서 2 신종, 마라육질실해면 (S. maraensis n sp.)과 가파육질실해면 (S. gapaensis n. sp.)이 밝혀져 보고하고자 한다.

Sarcotragin C (1), a new sesterterpene metabolite was isolated from a Sarcotragus sp. sponge collected from Chuja Island, Korea. On the basis of the combined spectroscopic analyses, the structure of this compound was determined to be a linear norsesterterpene containing a leucine-derived ${\gamma}-lactam$ moiety. This compound exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against K562 and A549 cell-lines.

Bioassay-directed fractionation of the lipophilic extract of a marine sponge Sarcotragus sp. led to the isolation of a known trisoxazole containing macrolide, mycalolide B (1). Its structure was identified by NMR and MS analyses. This is the first report on the isolation of macrolide from a sponge of the genus Sarcotragus (Order: Dictyoceratida).

Four sesterterpenoids were isolated from AMPK activity-guided fraction of marine sponge Sarcotragus species. Their planar structures were determined from combination of extensive 1D and 2D NMR experiments and MS data, and the configuration at the chiral centers were assigned by comparison with the $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ chemical shifts of the known compounds. Among four compounds, compound 2 was found to be a new sarcotrine derivative. Though not strong, compounds 1-4 moderately showed AMPK activation effect on L6 myoblast cell through Western Blot analysis.

Sarcotragins C(1) and D(2), two novel compounds, have been isolated from the sponge Sarcotragus sp. collected from Jaeju Island, Korea. The structures of these compounds have been determined to be linear sesterterpene alkaloids on the basis of combined 1D and 2D NMR experiments. The stereochemistry involved was established by comparison of the NMR data with those reported for a similar compound.

We investigated the anti-proliferative effects of a new compound. ircinin-1. from the sponge Sarcotragus sp. on SK-MEL -2 human skin cancer cells. From the data of MTT assay, cell viability was decreased by ircinin-1 in a dose-dependent manner. We observed that the anti-proliferative effect of ircinin-1 was due to the induction of apoptosis, which was confirmed by observing the morphological changes. the increased ratio of pro-apoptotic protein Bax to anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase protein, via activation of caspase-3.

본 연구에서 국내 연근해에 서식하는 해면 Sarcotragus sp. (Dictyoceratida속)에서 분리 추출된 7종의 furanoterpenoid계 화합물〔sarcotin A, epi-sarcotin A, ircinin-1, epi-sarcotrine B, sarcotin I, (8E,13Z,20Z) -strobilinin/ (7E,13Z,20Z) -felixinin and (7E,12E,18R,20Z)-variabilin〕의 항암 활성을 비교하기 위하여 A549 인체폐암세포를 대상으로 그들의 세포독성을 조사하였고, 이와 연관된 세포증식 억제 및 apoptosis 유발에 관여할 것으로 예상되는 중요한 유전자 몇 가지의 발현에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 조사된 7종의 화합물 모두 처리 농도 의존적으로 A549 폐암세포의 증식을 억제하였는데, 그중 sarcotin A 및 (7E,12E,18R,20Z)-variabilin이 비교적 높은 세포독성을 나타내었다. 이러한 세포증식의 억제는 종양억제 유전자 p53 의존적 또는 비의존적으로 Bcl-2 유전자에 대한 Bax의 발현 증가와 연관된 apoptosis 유발과 관련이 있었으며, epi-sarcotin A, ircinin-1 및 epi-sarcotrine B 처리군에서 이러한 현상은 두드러지게 관찰되었다. 또한 epi-sarcotin A와 ircinin-1은 COX-1의 발현에는 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았으나, COX-2의 발현은 선택적으로 저해하였다. 이러한 결과는 해양 해면동물에서 유래된 furanoterpenoid계 화합물이 선택 적으로 강력한 항암효과를 가질 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

The marine sponge of the genus Petrosia sp. is known to contain unique metabolites such as furanoterpenoids. These furanoterpenoids have been reported to possess various bioactivities. We have shown previously that ircinin-1 induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in SK-MEL-2 human skin cancer cells dose- and time-dependently. In this study. we demonstrated that ircinin-1-induced apoptosis is a accompanied by cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase protein and PLC-${\gamma}$1 degradation and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytosol.

Marine sponges are known to produce a number of cytotoxic secondary metabolites. In the course of searching for cytotoxic metabolites from marine organisms, we have evaluated cytotoxic activities of six marine secondary metabolites isolated from various sponges. The cytotoxic compounds 1-6 were isolated by the application of various chromatographic methods, including column chromatography and HPLC. The molecular structures were mostly determined using mass spectrometry (MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy. Furanosestererpenes (compounds 1-3) from Psammocinia sp., cyclitol derivatives (compounds 4 and 5) from Sarcotragus sp., and bromotyrosine-type compound (6) from an association of two sponges Jaspis wondoensis and Poecillastra wondoensis were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines; Hep G2, HeLa, and MCF-7. All tested compounds exhibited cyctoxicity at concentrations ranging from $5\;\mug/mL\;to\;25\;\mug/mL.$ Particularly, among the tested compounds, compound 6 showed the highest potency displaying at least $80\%$ of cytotoxicity at $5\;\mug/mL$ level against all three cancer cell lines.
