Studies on antineoplastic constituents from marine bryozoan bugula neritina inhabiting south china sea (IV):Isolation and structural elucidation of bryostatins 8 and 16 / 中国海洋药物

ABSTRACT

Eight active compounds were isolated from Bugula neritina Linnaeus collected off Dapen Bay in Guandong province, guided by P 388 bioassay system by a combination of successive chromatographies and preparative HPLC. By intensive analysis of the data of high resolution 2D NMR spectrum and ESI MS, their structures were elucidated as known bryostatins--bryostatin 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 16 and 18, among which bryostatin 8 and 16 were for the first time obtained from this animal in South China Sea and they showed significant antineoplastic activities in vitro.
