Abstract

Three new meroterpenoids, hyrtiolacton A (1), nakijinol F (2), and nakijinol G (3), along with three known ones, nakijinol B (4), nakijinol E (5), and dactyloquinone A (6), were isolated and characterized from a Hyrtios sp. marine sponge collected from the South China Sea. The new structures were determined based on extensive analysis of HRESIMS and NMR data, and their absolute configurations were assigned by a combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electronic circular dichroism analyses. Hyrtiolacton A (1) represents an unprecedented meroterpenoid featuring an unusual 2-pyrone attached to the sesquiterpene core, which is the first example of a pyrone-containing 4,9-friedodrimane-type sesquiterpene. These compounds were evaluated for their protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP1B) inhibitory and cytotoxic activities. Nakijinol G (3) showed PTP1B inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 4.8 μM but no cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines.
