Abstract

Two unique nitrogenous sesquiterpene quinone meroterpenoids, dysidinoid B (1) and dysicigyhone A (2), together with eight known analogues (3-10) were isolated and characterized from the marine sponge Dysidea septosa. Their structures with absolute configurations were established by a combination of extensive spectroscopic, electron circular dichroism (ECD) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data analysis. Structurally, dysicigyhone A (2) possessed a unique benzo[d]oxazolidine-2-one unit. Additionally, dysidinoid B (1) exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting TNF-α and IL-6 generation with IC50 values of 9.15μM and 17.62μM, respectively. Further in vivo anti-inflammatory assay verified that the dysidinoid B (1) alleviated the CuSO4-induced robust acute inflammatory response in zebrafish model.
