Dactylospongia metachromia and Dactylospongia elegans collected from French Polynesia were studied with a particular focus on the variation of the diastereomeric ratio between ilimaquinone (4) and 5-epi-ilimaquinone (5). More than 100 samples, covering an area of 4100km2, were studied to try to clarify this intriguing issue. Nuclear magnetic resonance appeared as the non-destructive, straightforward technique of choice for a relative quantitative study. A random distribution, unique at that point in nature, is observed and leads to biosynthetic considerations. Biological evaluation of both compounds was also performed and showed moderate discrepancies in cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction.
Determination of the absolute stereochemistry of cyclosmenospongine

The absolute stereochemistry of the sponge metabolite cyclosmenospongine (1) was determined as 5R, 8S, 9R, 10S by chemical correlation. Substitution of the methoxyl group by an amino group in the cyclic product 3 of acid-catalyzed rearrangement of ilimaquinone (5) afforded cyclosmenospongine 1. Cyclosmenospongine was also obtained by acid-catalyzed cyclization of smenospongine (6).
Asymmetric synthesis of the nakijiquinones - Selective inhibitors of the Her-2/Neu protooncogene
Stahl, Petra,Waldmann, Herbert
, p. 3710 - 3713 (2007/10/03)
A Wieland-Miescher type ketone and a tetramethoxyaryl derivative are the key building blocks for the enantioselective total synthesis of nakijiquinone C (1). The nakijiquinones are the only natural products known that selectively inhibit the Her-2/Neu tyr
