In a continuation of our studies to discover bioactive secondary metabolites from marine sources, we further investigated samples from a tryptamine and phenyl-alkane producing sponge, which resulted in the isolation of four uncommon small molecules and five nucleosides. Their structures were determined to be 7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one (1), 5-chlorocavernicolin (2), maleimide-5-oxime (3), 3-methylmaleimide-5-oxime (4), uridine (5), 2'-deoxyuridine (6), thymidine (7), adenine (8), and adenosine (9) by spectroscopic analyses. The isolated compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activity against soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) as well as the Wnt/${\beta}$-catenine signaling pathway.

Four 5,8-epidioxy sterols were isolated from the marine sponge Plakortis simplex. Their structures were completely determined by an extensive NMR analysis and comparison with NMR data of similar compounds for absolute stereochemistry of the side chain. The compounds were assigned as 5,8-epidioxy- (24S)-ethylcholesta-6,22(E),25-trien-3-ol(1), 5,8-epidioxy-(24S)-methylcholesta- 6,22(E)-dien-3-ol(2), 5,8-epidioxycholesta-6,22(E)-dien-3-ol(3) and 5,8- epidioxycholesta-6-en-3-ol (4).

Four new cyclic peroxide compounds (1~4) were isolated from the marine sponge Plakortis simplex. Their structures including relative stereochemistry were determined by MS and NMR analysis. All compounds, a side carbon chain with 10 carbons, were very unstable. After transformation into methyl ester analogues, the structure determination was conducted. Compounds 1a and 2a are stereoisomers, assigned as $3S^*$, $4S^*$, $6R^*$ and $3R^*$, $4S^*$, $6R^*$, respectively. Similarly, compounds 3a and 4a, replaced the methoxy group with an aliphatic methyl, are also stereoisomers. Compounds 1a and 2a exhibited the strong antifungal effect against the fungus Candida albicans.

1994년 7월부터 1995년 9월까지 거문도와 부근섬으로부터 잠수부에 의해서 채집된 해산 해면류를 동정, 분류한 결과 1강 7목 19과 26속 36종으로 밝혀졌다. 이중 4종 Stelletta japonica Lebwohl, 1914(왜별해면), Caminella velata Lebwohl, 1914(껍질가마해면), Stylohalina hirta Topsent, 1898(거친침상해면) 그리고 Esperiopsis rugosa Thiele, 1905(주름발톱해면)이 한국 미기록종으로 판명되었다.

The marine sponge Petrosia sp. is known for various bioactive compounds including the recently reported polyacetylenic alcohols. In our continuous survey of bioactive compounds from the Petrosia sp. collected from Korean waters, a cyclopentanepentol which rarely occurs in natural products has been isolated. It was found to inhibit DNA replication at the initiation step.

Bioactivity-guided fractionation of MeOH extract of an association of two sponges, Jaspis sp. and Poecillastra sp. resulted in isolation of four apocarotenoids (1 - 4). Their structures were determined on the basis of MS and NMR spectroscopic analyses and by direct comparison with those of reported. This is the first report on isolation of these compounds from any sponge. Isolated metabolites were evaluated for cytotoxicity against a small panel of solid human tumor cell lines.

From a marine sponge Dysidea species, four new furanosesquiterterpenoids were isolated and characterized. Their structural elucidation was achieved through an extensive analysis employing NMR, MS data, and DFT method. Notably, all compounds shared as identical molecular formula. Compound 2 was identified as a derivative of compound 1, while compounds 3 and 4 exhibited an identical planar structure. Determination of the configurations of chiral centers in compounds 1 and 2 involved a comparative analysis between measured and calculated ECD spectra, along with the application of DP4+ probability analysis. Distinctly, the configurations of isomers 3 and 4 were established by scrutinizing proton chemical shifts based on the NOE correlation.

제주도에 서식하는 2종의 해양 해면, Dictyonella sp.와 Spirastrella abata의 공생세균 군집구조를 16S rDNA-DGGE(denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) 방법에 의해 분석하였다. 해면으로부터 total genomic DNA를 추출하여 GC clamp가 추가된 세균에 특이적인 341f primer와 518r primer를 이용하여 16S rRNA gene의 V3 부위를 증폭한 후 DGGE 전기 영동하고 재증폭하여 염기서열을 분석하였다. 그 결과 Dictyonella sp.에서 8개, Spirastrella abata에서 7개의 band를 확인할 수 있었다. 공통된 주요 band가 없는 패턴을 나타내었으며, DGGE band로부터 DNA를 추출하여 부분 염기서열을 분석한 결과, NCBI에 등록된 서열들과 93%~98%의 유사도를 나타내었다. Dictyonella sp.의 주요 해면 공생세균은 uncultured Gammaproteobacteria, Spirastrella abata의 경우 uncultured Alphaproteobacteria, Firmicutes에 각각 포함되어 해면 종에 따른 숙주 특이적 분포를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

As part of a program to discover bioactive natural products from marine organisms, two new enantiomers, ent-3,6-Epidioxy-4,6,8,10-tetraethyltetradeca-7,11-dienoic acid and ent-[3,5-Diethyl-5-(2-ethyl-hex-3-enyl)-5H-furan-2-ylidene]-acetic acid methyl ether, were isolated from a sponge Plakortis sp. These compounds showed strong in vitro antiproliferative effects on promastigotes of Leishmania mexicania, flagellate protozoan that causes leishmaniasis. Structures were assumed by interpretation of NMR spectroscopic data and optical rotation. Both compounds exhibited significant antileishmanial activities in vitro with $IC_{50}$ of 1.0-23.0 ${\mu}g/ml$.

A Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, light brown pigment bacterium, designated strain CE80^T was isolated from marine sponge Callyspongia elegans in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Strain CE80^T grew optimally at 25℃, in the range of pH 5.0-11.0 (optimum 7.0-8.0), and with 1.0-5.0% NaCl (optimum 1-3% (w/v)). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain CE80^T belonged to the genus Labrenzia and was closely related to L. suaedae YC6927^T (98.3%), L. alexandrii DFL-11^T (96.6%), L. aggregata IAM 12614^T (96.6%) L. marina mano18^T (96.5%) and L. alba CECT 5094^T (96.2%). The major fatty acids of strain CE80^T were C_18:1 ω7c, and summed feature. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamin, one unidentified aminolipid, one phospholipid and four unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain CE80^T was 55.9 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was Q-10. DNA-DNA relatedness between strain CE80^T and L. suaedae YC6927^T was 56.1±2.8%. On the basis of physiological and biochemical characterization and phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analysis, strain CE80^T represents a novel species of the Labrenzia, for which the name Labrenzia callyspongiae sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is CE80^T (=KCTC 42849^T =JCM 31309^T).
