Anti-inflammatory aromadendrane- and cadinane-type sesquiterpenoids from the South China Sea sponge Acanthella cavernosa


ABSTRACT: One new aromadendrane-type sesquiterpenoid, namely ximaocavernosin P [(+)-1], and three new cadinane-type sesquiterpenoids, namely (+)-maninsigin D [(+)-4], (+)- and (−)-ximaocavernosin Q [(+)- and (−)-5], together with five related known ones [2, 3, (−)-4, 6, and 7], were isolated from the Hainan sponge Acanthella cavernosa. Compounds 4 and 5 were isolated as racemic forms, which were further separated to the corresponding enantiomers [(+)-4/(−)-4 and (+)-5/(−)-5], respectively, by using chiral-phase HPLC. The structures of new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison with the reported data. In addition, the absolute configuration of optically pure (+)-1 and 2 were determined by time-dependent density functional theory/electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) calculations or X-ray diffraction analysis. A plausible biosynthetic pathway of these sesquiterpenoids and their internal correlation were proposed and discussed. In an in vitro bioassay, (+)-aristolone (3) exhibited promising anti-inflammatory activity by the inhibition of LPS-induced TNF-α and CCL2 release in RAW 264.7 macrophages.
