RESUMEN
Activity-guided fractionations of the tunicate Pseudodistoma antinboja yielded four new compounds of the cadiolide class (cadiolides J-M, 1, 3-5) along with a known one (cadiolide H, 2). The structures were defined by spectroscopic methods including X-ray crystallographic analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity and exhibited potent antibacterial activity against all of the drug resistant strains tested with MICs comparable to those of marketed drugs such as vancomycin and linezolid.

Two new benzophenones, acredinones A (1) and B (2), were isolated from a marine-sponge-associated Acremonium sp. fungus. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the interpretation of spectroscopic data. The structure of 1 was confirmed by palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation, followed by spectroscopic data analysis. Acredinones A (1) and B (2) inhibited the outward K(+) currents of the insulin secreting cell line INS-1 with IC50 values of 0.59 and 1.0 µM, respectively.

Three new sesterterpenoids, phorbaketals L-N (1-3), were isolated from a marine sponge of the genus Phorbas and their complete structures were elucidated via analysis of HRFABMS and NMR spectroscopic data. Phorbaketal N (3) showed potent cytotoxicity against human pancreas cancer cells (IC50=11.4 µM).

The total syntheses of stagonolide B and its 4-epimer were carried out to probe into how the relative stereochemistry of allylic hydroxy groups and their protecting groups influence the efficiency of the ring closing metathesis.

A chemical investigation of a Korean marine sponge, Phorbas sp., yielded unprecedented sesterterpenoids phorone A (1) and isophorbasone A (2) along with ansellone B (3) and phorbasone A acetate (4). Their complete structures were elucidated by the combination of spectroscopic data and chemical manipulation. Phorone A (1) and isophorbasone A (2) have the new "phorane"(5) and "isophorbasane"(6) sesterterpenoid carbon skeletons, respectively. Ansellone B (3) and phorbasone A acetate (4) exhibited potent inhibitory activity on nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 LPS-activated mouse macrophage cells with IC(50) values of 4.5 and 2.8 µM, respectively.
