The known compound linderazulene (1) and two new linderazulenes (2, 3) were isolated from a deep-sea gorgonian Paramuricea sp. The structures of 2 and 3 were determined through spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1-3 show moderate in vitro cytotoxicity against the P388 murine leukemia cell line with IC(50)'s of 18.8, 2.7, and 15.6 microg/mL, respectively. Compound 2 showed moderate activity against the PANC-1 pancreatic cell line with an IC(50) of 18.7 microg/mL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
