Abstract

Seven new β-carboline-based metabolites, designated as eudistomins Y₁-Y₇ (1-7), were isolated from a tunicate of the genus Eudistoma collected near Tong-Yeong City, South Sea, Korea. These new metabolites differ from previously isolated marine metabolites due to the presence of a benzoyl group attached to the β-carboline nucleus at C-1. Eudistomins Y₁-Y₇ were evaluated for their antibacterial activity, and eudistomin Y₆ exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus epidermis and Bacillus subtilis without cytotoxicity in the MTT assay at 100 μM.
