By use of bioassay (murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line) guided isolation procedures, extracts of the Republic of Singapore marine sponge Hymeniacidon sp. were found to contain demethyl-oxyaaptamine (1) and aaptamine (3) as prominent cancer cell growth inhibitory constituents accompanied by the trace, albeit more active, component isoaaptamine (4). The isolation, X-ray structure elucidation, and antineoplastic and antimicrobial activities of isoaaptamine (4) have been summarized. Because of instability, isoaaptamine (4) was converted to a stable sodium phosphate prodrug designated hystatin 1 (7).

Disclosed herein is the isolation and elucidation of the structure of isoaptamine (2), and its conversion to numerous novel related compounds, which appear to have antimicrobial and/or cancer fighting properties. Also disclosed is the conversion of isoaaptamine (2) to the phosphate prodrug hystatin 1 (11), as well as the conversion of aaptamine to numerous compounds, including but not limited to: 9-demethyloxyaaptamine (3); 4-methylaaptamine (4); 1,4-dimethylaaptamine iodide (5); 4-N-methyl-8,9-dihydroxy-4H benzo[de][1,6]naphthyridine (7); 4-N-methyl-8 methoxy-9 hydroxy-4H benzo[de][1,6]naphthyridine (8); 1-H-Benzo[de][1-6]naphthyridinium salts (9a-c); hystatin 2 (10a); and others.
