Abstract

Three new sesquiterpene quinones/hydroquinones, 20-demethoxy-20-isopentylaminodactyloquinone D (1), 20-demethoxy-20-isobutylaminodactyloquinone D (2), and 19-methoxy-dictyoceratin-A (3), and five known related compounds (4−8) were isolated from the marine sponge Dactylospongia elegans. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, ECD calculation, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and comparison with the literature. Compounds 3 and 5−8 exhibited activities against the human cancer cell lines DU145, SW1990, Huh7, and PANC-1 with IC50 values ranging from 2.33 to 37.85 μM.
