| Research Abstract |
A MeOH extract of the marine sponge Ancorina sp.collected off the coast of Tokushima Prefecture inhibited the blastulation of strfish embryos. Bioassay-guided purification of the crude extract resulted in the isolation of a novel tetramic acid glycoside, which was designated ancorinoside A (1). The structure of ancorinoside A (1) was determined to be (5R) -5-carboxymethyl-3- {22-O- [beta-D-glucopyranosyl- (1*4) -beta-D-galactopyranosyluronic acid] -1-hydroxydocosylidene} -1-methyl-2,4-pyrrolidinedione on the basis of its spectral data. Ancorinoside A (1) is the first metabolite having a tetramic acid ring the precursor of which is considered to be a D-amino acid. The structure of the dicarboxylic acid witha 21-methylene chain is also unique to ancorinoside A (1). When fertilized starfish eggs were cultured from fertilization in the presence of 1 at a concentration of 0.4 mug/mL or greater, the development proceeded normally to 256-512 cell stage after encompassing 8-9 ycles of cleavage, and the embryos ceased to develop further witout exhibiting any sign of blastulation. Fertilization of starfish gametes was unaffected by the presence of 1 even at the concentration of 110 mug/ml. Further, 2-aminoadenosine (2), 2'-deoxyguanosine (3), and thymidine (4), and onnnamide (5) were isolated from the MeOH extract of the other marine sponges and inhibited blastulation of starfish embryos at concentrations of 2,3,5, and 2 mug/ml, respectively.
