Abstract

New unusual polycyclic guanidine Alkaloids monanchocidins B-E (2-5) along with monanchocidin A (1), which we recently described, were isolated from the Far-Eastern marine Sponge Monanchora pulchra. Their structures were established using spectroscopic data and chemical transformations. Compounds 1-5 show potent cytotoxic activities against HL-60 human leukemia cells with IC50 values of 540, 200, 110, 830, and 650 nM, respectively.
