Ma'edamines C and D were isolated from an Okinawan marine sponge and exhibited a unique tetrasubstituted pyridinium skeleton. The proposed biosynthetic pathway is similar to that of desmosine and isodesmosine, which are elastin-crosslinking amino acids. In this study, first total synthesis of ma'edamines C and D was achieved via Pr(OTf)3-promoted Chichibabin/isoChichibabin pyridinium synthesis starting from the corresponding aldehydes and amine.

In the search for novel anticancer drugs, the potassium channel KV10.1 has emerged as an interesting cancer target. Here, we report a new group of KV10.1 inhibitors, namely the purpurealidin analogs. These alkaloids are produced by the Verongida sponges and are known for their wide variety of bioactivities. In this study, we describe the synthesis and characterization of 27 purpurealidin analogs. Structurally, bromine substituents at the central phenyl ring and a methoxy group at the distal phenyl ring seem to enhance the activity on KV10.1. The mechanism of action of the most potent analog 5 was investigated. A shift of the activation curve to more negative potentials and an apparent inactivation was observed. Since KV10.1 inhibitors can be interesting anticancer drug lead compounds, the effect of 5 was evaluated on cancerous and non-cancerous cell lines. Compound 5 showed to be cytotoxic and appeared to induce apoptosis in all the evaluated cell lines.

Bromotyrosine alkaloids dispyrin (1), purpurealidin E (2), and aplysamine-1 (3) isolated from marine sponge, were synthesized from commercially available tyramine (4) as a common starting material. The overall yield was 18%, 39%, and 22% for 1 from 4 in 5
