Abstract
Intensive study on the chemical components of a Korean marine sponge, Spongia sp., has led to the isolation of four new scalarane sesterterpenes, scalalactams A–D (1–4). Their chemical structures were elucidated from the analysis of spectroscopic data including 1D-and 2D-NMR as well as MS data. Scalalactams A–D (1–4) possess a scalarane carbon skeleton with a rare structural feature of a γ-lactam moiety within the molecules. Scalalactams A and B (1 and 2) have an extended isopropanyl chain at the lactam ring, and scalalactams C and D (3 and 4) possess a phenethyl group at the lactam ring moiety. Scalalactams A–D (1–4) did not show FXR antagonistic activity nor cytotoxicity up to 100 μM.
