Abstract
Crude extracts of the marine sponge Chelonaplysilla sp. collected in Samoa, that were obtained from the NCI Open Repository (NCS 21903), inhibited Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth. Assay-guided fractionation of the extract led to the isolation and structural elucidation of the known diterpenoid macfarlandin D (1) and three new diterpenoids macfarlandins F (2), G (3), and H (4). Macfarlandin D (1) exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against M. tuberculosis with an MIC of 1.2 ± 0.4 µg mL−1. Macfarlandins F (2), G (3), and H (4) exhibited significantly weaker antitubercular activities, revealing SAR for the macfarlandin antitubercular pharmacophore. The structures of compounds 2, 3, and 4 were elucidated via detailed analysis of NMR and MS data.
