Lingshuiol, a novel polyhydroxyl compound with strongly cytotoxic activity from the marine dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Jun 21;14(12):3117-20. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.04.029.

Abstract

A novel polyhydroxy compound with a linear carbon-chain, lingshuiol (1), had been isolated from the cultured marine dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp. Its structure was elucidated by extensive analysis of 2D NMR spectral data. Lingshuiol possessed a powerful cytotoxic activity against A-549 and HL-60 cells in vitro with the IC(50) of 0.21 and 0.23 microM, respectively.
