  • nonhalogenated organic molecules from Laurencia algae
    Phytochemistry Reviews, 2014
    Co-Authors: Bin-gui Wang
    Abstract:

    The marine red algae of the genus Laurencia have produced more 700 secondary metabolites and exhibited high molecular diversity and intriguing bioactivity. Since the halogenated structures have been comprehensively reviewed previously, this review, covering up to the end of 2012, mainly focuses on the source, structure elucidation, and bioactivity of nonhalogenated organic molecules from Laurencia spp. as well as the relationship between nonhalogenated and halogenated products. Overall, 173 new or new naturally occurring compounds with 58 skeletons, mainly including sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes, and C15-acetogenins, are described.

  • two halosesquiterpenes from Laurencia composita
    RSC Advances, 2013
    Co-Authors: Fengping Miao, Xiaorui Liang, Bin-gui Wang
    Abstract:

    Two new chamigrane sesquiterpenes, yicterpenes A (1) and B (2) each with an unprecedented halogenation at C-9 and a hemiketal unit at C-10, were isolated from the marine red alga Laurencia composita. The structures and absolute configurations of them were identified by NMR, ECD, and mass spectrometric methods as well as quantum chemical calculations. Compound 1 with a chlorination at C-9 was more active against some tested marine-derived organisms than 2 with a bromination at C-9.

  • sesquiterpene and acetogenin derivatives from the marine red alga Laurencia okamurai
    Marine Drugs, 2012
    Co-Authors: Yi Liang, Chuanming Cui, Hong Sun, Bin-gui Wang
    Abstract:

    In addition to 13 known compounds, four new bisabolane sesquiterpenes, okamurenes A–D (1–4), a new chamigrane derivative, okamurene E (5), and a new C12-acetogenin, okamuragenin (6), were isolated from the marine red alga Laurencia okamurai. The structures of these compounds were determined through detailed spectroscopic analyses. Of these, okamurenes A and B (1 and 2) are the first examples of bromobisabolane sesquiterpenes possessing a phenyl moiety among Laurencia-derived sesquiterpenes, while okamuragenin (6) was the first acetogenin aldehyde possessing a C12-carbon skeleton. Each of the isolated compounds was evaluated for the brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethal assay and 7-hydroxylaurene displayed potent lethality with LD50 1.8 μM.

  • halogenated metabolites with antibacterial activity from the okinawan Laurencia species
    Phytochemistry, 2001
    Co-Authors: Charles Santhanaraju Vairappan, Minoru Suzuki, Tsuyoshi Abe, Michio Masuda
    Abstract:

    The chemical compositions of five species of the red algal genus Laurencia from coastal waters of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, have been investigated. A halogenated C(15) acetogenin, (12E)-lembyne-A, was isolated from L. mariannensis, and a halogenated sesquiterpene, (6R,9R,10S)-10-bromo-9-hydroxy-chamigra-2,7(14)-diene, was first found from L. majuscula as a naturally occurring compound. Laurencia nidifica yielded previously known laurinterol and isolaurinterol. Samples of L. cartilaginea and L. concreta afforded no halogenated metabolites. The structures of these halogenated metabolites as well as their antibacterial activity against some marine bacteria are reported.

  • Diterpenoid feeding-deterrents from Laurencia saitoi
    Phytochemistry, 1998
    Co-Authors: Kazuya Kurata, Kazuya Taniguchi, Yukio Agatsuma, Minoru Suzuki
    Abstract:

    Abstract Three new diterpenes and 14 known, brominated and non-brominated diterpenes have been isolated from the red alga Laurencia saitoi collected in ‘Isoyake areas’ in the Sea of Japan. Some of these diterpenes showed significant feeding-deterrent activity against young abalone ( Haliotis discus hannai ) and young sea urchins ( Strongylocentrotus nudus and S. intermedius ), thus suggesting that these metabolites provide a chemical defense against marine herbivorous animals in ‘Isoyake areas’.

  • diversity of halogenated secondary metabolites in the red alga Laurencia nipponica rhodomelaceae ceramiales 1 2
    Journal of Phycology, 1997
    Co-Authors: Michio Masuda, Tsuyoshi Abe, Shinji Sato, Teruaki Suzuki, Minoru Suzuki
    Abstract:

    Many morphologically similar, but chemically distinct, populations have been found in the marine red alga Laurencia nipponica Yamada (Rhodomelaceae, Ceramiales) growing in Japan. Each chemical type is characterized by a specific end-product of halogenated secondaly metabolite synthesis: chamigrane-type sesquiterpenoids such as prepacifenol and halochamigrene epoxide and C15 bromoethers such as laurencin, laureatin, isoprelaurefucin, epilaurallene, and kumausallene. These seven types of secondary metabolite syntheses remained the same in the wild and under various culture conditions. Because bromoethers and terpenoids are probably synthesized by different metabolic pathways, it is virtually certain that different sets of enzymes participate in their synthesis. Prepacifenol- and laureatin-producing populations were selected as representatives of terpenoid and bromoether groups, respectively. F1 tetrasporophytes derived from crosses between reciprocal, female and male gametophytes of prepacifenol- and laureatin-producing strains bore both types of metabolites, suggesting that the genes Producing these enzyme systems are encoded by nuclear genomes. The F1 gametophytes resulting from the reciprocal crosses produced either prepacifenol or laureatin, and the four individuals derived from spore tetrads (a set of tetraspores derived from a single tetrasporangium) produced either prepacifenol or laureatin in a 1:1 ratio, indicating that genes participating in terpenoid synthsis and those participating in bromoether synthesis are on different loci of homologous chromosomes and are segregated at meiosis (tetrasporogenesis). One individual of this interpopulational F1 gamtophyte produced both parental types of metabolite, perhaps indicating the occurrence of a recombination type. Natural hybrid individuals, including such recombination-type gametophytes, were found in a sympatric locality at which these two chemical types occur. F1 tetrasporophytes derived from crosses between respective prepacifenol- and laureatin-producing strains and their F1 gametohytes produced only parental-type metabolite-producing plants. These results indicate that the diverse chemical types can be referred to as races (chemical races).
