Chemical Constituents of the Tunicate Syela canopus from the Dayawan Bay / 分析化学

Two compositions, a sterol mixture and a pure ceramide, were isolated from the extract of a tunicate,Styela.canopus, collected from the Dayawan Bay, Guangdong. The sterols were detected by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and their structure was confimed by spectroscopic analysis. The ceramide was identified by spectroscopic analysis. The contents of sterols and the ceramide in the extract were 12% and 0.3% respectively.This was also the first report about the chemical constituents of Sytela. canopus.

STUDIES ON THE SPONGE SPONGIA OFFICINALIS ( I ) / 中国海洋药物

The chemical constituents of the soponge Spongia officinalis collected from the South China Sea have been studied. This paper reports the isolation and identification of the eight sterols, i.e. , 1 22, 23-methylenecholesta-5, 7-dien-3B-ol, 2 cholesta-5, 7-dien-3B-ol, 3 cholesta-5,7,25-trien-3B-ol, 4 stigmasta-5-en-3B-ol, 5 stigmasta-7,16,25-trien-3p-ol, 6 stigmasta-5,7,22-trien-3B-ol, 7 ergosta-5,7-dien-3B-ol, 8(22-E)-ergosta-7,22-dien-3B-ol, by means of spectroscope and GC-MS methods.

STUDIES ON THE CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF THE MARINE SPONGE HALICLONA SP / 中国海洋药物

The chemical constituents of the marine sponge Haliclona sp. collected from the South China Sea have been studied. An alkanoid 1 and an aryl acid 2 were isolated from the marine sponge and the structure of 1 and 2 were respectively elucidated as 1,3 -dimethylxanthine and p - hydroxybenzoic acid by spectroscopic analysis and elemental analysis.

CHEMICAL STUDIES ON THE GORGONIAN ISIS MINORBRACHLASTA / 中国海洋药物

The chemical constituents of the gorgonian Isis minorbrachlasta have been studied for the first time. Th?marine specimen was collected off the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea . On the basis of spectral correlation (1H NMR,13C NMR,IR)four known compounds:gorgosterol,22 - epi-hippuristanol, ceramide and batyl alcohol, were indentified.

ANTITUMOR EFFECT OF SOME COMPOUNDS WITH UNSATURATED LACTONE FROM MARINE NATURAL PRODUCTS / 中国海洋药物

The compounds (8R23, 9R221 , 9R6222, 10R221 , H1105) extracted from the soft coral, with unsaturated lactone, showed antitumor effect on EAT, IC50 was 18. 6,85. 8,67. 8,3d. 9, 3.05umol. L-1, respectively; IC50 on S180 was 10. 7,44. 4,30. 9,9. 95,2. 4umol. L-1, respectively. 8R23, 10R221 obviously increased the level of cAMP in the EAT cell. 8R23, 10R221 , III 105 also inhibited DNA synthesis of the EAT cell.These results indicated that these compounds might have antitumor effect, but the mechanism was unknown.
