Abstract

Fractionation of the extract of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula collected from Panama led to the isolation of malyngolide dimer (1). The planar structure of 1 was determined using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and HRESI-TOFMS. The absolute configuration was established by chemical degradation followed by chiral GC-MS analyses and comparisons with an authentic sample of malyngolide seco-acid (4). Compound 1 showed moderate in vitro antimalarial activity against chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum (W2) (IC50 = 19 μM) but roughly equivalent toxicity against H-460 human lung cell lines. Furthermore, because the closely related cyanobacterial natural product tanikolide dimer (5) was a potent SIRT2 inhibitor, compound 1 was evaluated in this assay but found to be essentially inactive.
