Abstract

A new cancer cell growth inhibitor designated pedilstatin (1) was isolated from a Republic of Maldives Pedilanthus sp. The structure was determined to be 13-Oacetyl-12-O-[2′Z,4′-octadienoyl]-4α-deoxyphorbol on the basis of high-resolution mass spectral and 2D NMR assignments. Pedilstatin was found to significantly inhibit growth of the P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line with an ED50 of 0.28 μg/mL, to afford, at concentrations of 2-5 μM, protection (to 80%) of human-derived lymphoblastoid CEM-SS cells from infection and cell-killing by HIV-1, and to show inhibition of protein kinase C with a Ki of 620 ± 20 nM.
