Leptochartamides A and B (±1 and ±2), two pairs of enantiomeric hybrids with the same cyclo-bridged
skeleton containing an unusual dioxa-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core
system, were isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Leptosphaerulina chartarum. Their structures were
determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray
diffraction, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and the total
synthesis. Compounds 2a and 2b showed selective
cytotoxicity against Ewings sarcoma cells A673, with IC50 values of 8.98 ± 0.23 and 4.18 ± 0.27 μM, respectively.
The colony formation assay of compounds 2a and 2b against A673 cells was completed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
