Abstract

The new cancer cell growth (human and murine) inhibitory (GI50 0.3 to 3.3 μg/ml) cyclo-octapeptide axinastatin 5 (2) was isolated in 3.8 x 10-7% yield from the Western Indian Ocean marine sponge Axinella cf. carteri. Structural elucidation was achieved by high field (400 and 500 MHz) 2 D-NMR techniques and the amino acid sequence was confirmed by results of NMR and high resolution mass spectral MS/MS interpretations. Other peptide cancer cell growth inhibitory constituents of this orange sponge were found to be the cyclic hepta- and octapeptides axinastatin 1 and hymenistatin 1 (1).
