RESUMO
Three novel cytotoxic substances named prenylterphenyllin (1), 4''-deoxyprenylterphenyllin (2), and 4''-deoxyisoterprenin (3) were isolated from a cultured marine-derived fungus of Aspergillus candidus IF10 together with 4''-deoxyterprenin (4). Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of 2D NMR analysis. These compounds 1 approximately 4 showed cytotoxic activity against human epidermoid carcinoma KB cells (KB3-1) with IC(50) of 8.5, 3.0, 2.5, and 4.5 microg/ml, respectively.

In order to increase metabolic stability and water solubility of arenastatin A, an extremely potent cytotoxic depsipeptide from the Okinawan marine sponge of Dysidea arenaria, several 15,20-triamide analogues with a polar substituent on the phenyl ring were synthesized. The 15,20-triamide analogues with a polar substituent (24, 30, and 31) showed increased solubility to MeOH and stronger cytotoxicity against KB cells in comparison with the parental 15,20-triamide analogue (2). Furthermore, the diethylamine analogue (30) exhibited in vivo anti-tumor activity against subcutaneously implanted murine sarcoma.
