Eleven manzamine type alkaloids, two β-carbolines, and five nucleosides have been isolated from an Indonesian sponge. Among these are the previously characterized 12,34-oxamanzamine A, 12,34-oxamanzamine E, manzamine A (1), 8-hydroxymanzamine A, 6-deoxymanzamine X, manzamine E (2), manzamine X, manzamine F (4), norharman, thymine, 2′,3′-didehydro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridine, uracil, thymidine, and 2′-deoxyuridine. The structures for the five new compounds have been assigned as 32,33-dihydro-31-hydroxymanzamine A (3), 32,33-dihydro-6-hydroxymanzamine A-35-one (5), des-N-methylxestomanzamine A (6), 32,33-dihydro-6,31-dihydroxymanzamine A (7), and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronorharman-1-one (8), on the basis of NMR and X-ray data. The bioactivity and SAR of the manzamines against malaria, TB, and leishmania are also presented. The structural revision of two previously reported pyrazoles as uracil and thymine is also discussed.Manzamines are unique β-carboline alkaloids isolated from Indo-Pacific sponges and characterized by having an intricate nitrogen-containing polycyclic system. In 1986, Higa and co-workers first reported manzamine A from the Okinawan sponge of the genus Haliclona. 1 These compounds exhibit a diverse range of bioactivities including cytotoxicity, 1 insecticidal, 2 and antibacterial 3 as well as the exciting curative activity against malaria in animal models. 4,5 Since the first report of manzamine A, an additional 40 manzamine-type alkaloids have been reported from nine different sponge genera. 6,7 In our continuing search for manzamine-related alkaloids with significant activity against infectious diseases, we have identified several novel manzamine alkaloids from an Indonesian sponge, and herein we describe their structure determination and biological activity. *To whom correspondence should be addressed.

(Table 1) includes aromatic proton resonances similar to those of manzamine E. 12 Spectral data of how 3 differs from manzamine E (2) includes the presence of 13 CH carbons (manzamine E has 12 CH carbons) and the absence of the low-field C-31 carbonyl carbon signal of manzamine E. In place of the carbonyl carbon compound 3 has a signal at 70.9 ppm, which correlates with a multiplet at 4.05 ppm in the HMQC spectrum. The presence of this new OH-functionality is confirmed by a number of long-range 1 H-13 C correlations H 2 -29 and H 2 -33 to C-31, Figure 1 HHS Public Access Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript C-12, C-24, C-25, C-26, and C-34 of 3 were elucidated to be the same as those of manzamine E by NOESY data as well as comparable 13 C chemical shifts.

“…1). The origin, isolation, and chemistry of various manzamines have been reviewed (6,13), with the complete synthesis of manzamine A being recently reported (20). The manzamines previously received considerable interest because of their potential as anticancer agents, with both manzamine A and manzamine F inhibiting the growth of P-388 mouse leukemia cells (6) and 8-hydroxymanzamine A showing moderate cytotoxicity against KB and LoVo cells (7).…”

Manzamine A, a ␤-carboline alkaloid present in several marine sponge species, inhibits the growth of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei in vivo. More than 90% of the asexual erythrocytic stages of P. berghei were inhibited after a single intraperitoneal injection of manzamine A into infected mice. A remarkable aspect of manzamine A treatment is its ability to prolong the survival of highly parasitemic mice, with 40% recovery 60 days after a single injection. Oral administration of an oil suspension of manzamine A also produced significant reductions in parasitemia. The plasma manzamine A concentration peaked 4 h after injection and remained high even at 48 h. Morphological changes of P. berghei were observed 1 h after treatment of infected mice. (؊)-8-Hydroxymanzamine A also displayed antimalarial activity, whereas manzamine F, a ketone analog of manzamine A, did not. Our results suggest that manzamine A and (؊)-8-hydroxymanzamine A are promising new antimalarial agents.Malaria remains the most devastating infectious parasitic disease, inflicting both death and economic losses on at least half the world's population. Numerous attempts have been made to control the disease by using vector control measures and/or chemoprophylaxis, but they have had limited success (18). Immunoprophylaxis holds promise, but effective vaccines are still not available. Presently, the most effective way of dealing with malaria is the administration of chemotherapeutic agents. Although drug treatments of malaria are currently the best means of disease management, there is an urgent need for the development of structurally novel and effective antimalarial drugs because of increasing resistance to most presently available antimalarial drugs (15,16,19).Some of the most effective antimalarial drugs available, quinine and artemisinin, are natural products derived from terrestrial plants. However, recent research suggests that marine organisms may also produce compounds with activity against malaria parasites (4,11,21). Manzamines are a structurally unique group of ␤-carboline alkaloids isolated from several marine sponge species found in waters of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Manzamine A (Fig. 1) was initially isolated from a Haliclona sp. (17) but has been subsequently found in other genera of marine sponges, including Pellina (14), Pachypellina (7), Xestospongia (3, 8), Ircinia (10), and Amphimedon (9). In addition, more than 30 other compounds structurally related to manzamine A have been isolated from sponges and characterized; these include 8-hydroxymanzamine A and the ketone derivative manzamine F (Fig. 1). The origin, isolation, and chemistry of various manzamines have been reviewed (6, 13), with the complete synthesis of manzamine A being recently reported (20). The manzamines previously received considerable interest because of their potential as anticancer agents, with both manzamine A and manzamine F inhibiting the growth of P-388 mouse leukemia cells (6) and 8-hydroxymanzamine A showing moderate cytotoxici...

“…Biomimetic syntheses, although still at an early stage, may prove to be versatile, giving rise not only to manzamine-type alkaloids, but also to related alkaloids in this series. 57 All reported syntheses to date represent inefficient multistep approaches that cannot meet the demands of pre-clinical and clinical development. Identification of a simpler, more easily synthesized structure that retains the same biological activity is another option, but the best scenario would be to have a supply of the natural product that can be generated inexpensively and reproducibly in the lab under controlled conditions.…”

“…2). 57 These include biomimetic, radical cyclization and photochemical, ionic cyclisation, intermolecular Diels-Alder type cycloadditions and intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloadditions approaches. Cycloadditions play a preeminent role in these synthetic studies, but alternative strategies based, for instance, on [2 + 2] cycloaddition or Mannichcyclisations …”
