Materials and Methods
General Experimental ProceduresOn a JEOL spectrometer, CD3OD's 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were captured at 400 MHz for 1 H and 100 MHz for 13 C (H 3.31, C 49.0), after which HRFAB mass spectrometry was carried out using JEOL JMS-MS 700. The L-6200 system was used for preparative HPLC (Hitachi Ltd.), while UV was performed on Hitachi U-3310 UV.
Animal MaterialThe marine invertebrate sponge was discovered in 2013 by scuba diving in the sea off Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Dr. K. Ogawa (Z. Nakai Laboratory Japan) classified the samples (2013-147) as Haliclona sp. and they were subsequently preserved at the Laboratory of Natural Product, Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University-Japan
Extraction and IsolationThe marine sponge sample (619.9 g) was sliced into small pieces, steeped in 70% ethanol three times, and partitioned with 200 mL of EtOAc to obtain 2.6 g of extract. The ethyl acetate extract was then separated into 7 fractions using a chromatographic column with ODS stationary phase (100 g) as well as MeOH and H2O mobile phases. To obtain compound 3, 190.5 mg of fraction 7 was purified using HPLC with 1.8 mg of MeOH:H2O solvent (65:35 v/v). HPLC was also used to separate 1.8 mg of 4 from 201.8 mg of fraction 6 using MeOH:H2O (65:35 v/v). Subsequently, 1.8 mg of 8 and 1.8 mg of 9 were isolated from 219.2 mg fraction 5 using the same solvent. The HPLC column used was the PEGASIL ODS.
Anti-Mycobacterial AssayThe disc diffusion method was used to conduct the anti-mycobacterial assay. 12,13 M. smegmatis strain NBRC 3207 was earned from laboratory culture stock stored at -80 o C. A Middlebrook 7H9 broth medium containing 0.05% polysorbate 80 (BD), 0.5% glycerol, and 10% Middlebook OADC (BD) was used to cultivate the test bacteria for two days at 37°C. 1 mL of inoculum was poured into 100 mL Middlebook 7H9 agar medium at 40°C. Subsequently, isolated compounds in MeOH were placed on paper discs and then evaporated to remove
