Abstract

A chemical investigation of the marine sponge Phakellia sp. from the South China Sea yielded five new cyclopeptides, phakellisins A−E (1−5). Structures of these compounds were determined by comprehensive analysis of 1D/2D NMR, HRESIMS/MS spectroscopic data and the advanced Marfey’s method. All compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity. Compound 1 showed a strong inhibitory activity against WSU-DLCL-2 cells with an IC50 value of 5.25 ± 0.2 μM by induction of G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
