Differentiation-Promoting Effects of Okeaniamides A and B from an Okeania sp. Marine Cyanobacterium on Preadipocytes

J Nat Prod. 2023 Jun 23;86(6):1564-1570. doi: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.3c00256. Epub 2023 Jun 12.

Abstract

The linear lipopeptides okeaniamide A (1) and okeaniamide B (2) were isolated from an Okeania sp. marine cyanobacterium collected in Okinawa. The structures of these compounds were established by spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configurations were elucidated based on a combination of chemical degradations, Marfey's analysis, and derivatization reactions. Okeaniamide A (1) and okeaniamide B (2) dose-dependently promoted the differentiation of mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in the presence of insulin.
