Melonoside A (1), the first representative of a new class of ω-glycosylated fatty acid amides, was isolated from the Far Eastern marine sponge Melonanchora kobjakovae. The structure of 1, including absolute configuration, was established using detailed analysis of 1D and 2D NMR, CD, and mass spectra as well as chemical transformations. Compound 1 induces autophagy of human cisplatin-resistant germinal tumor cells NCCIT-R.

Ease of separation of petrol-soluble acetonides derived from the triacetonide of methyl glucoheptonate allows scalable syntheses of rare sugars containing the l-gluco or d-gulo structural motif with any oxidation level at the C6 or C1 position of the hexose, usually without chromatography: meso-d-glycero-d-guloheptitol available in two steps is an ideal entry point for the study of the biotechnological production of heptoses.

Abstract Five new triterpenoid saponins, oleiferosides P-T (1-5) were isolated from the EtOH extract of the roots of Camellia oleifera C. Abel. The structures of saponins 1-5 were elucidated on the basis of integrated spectroscopic techniques. All the compounds were characterized to be oleanane-type saponins with sugar moieties linked to the C-3 of the aglycone. By using the MTT assay, an in vitro analysis of the cytotoxic activities of these saponins on the human tumor cell lines (lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, hepatic carcinoma SMMC-7721 cells and breast cancer MCF-7 cells). Among them, compound 4 showed a certain cytotoxic activity against all the tested cell lines.

An effective application development of the polysaccharide ulvan requires a comprehensive knowledge about the influence of the extraction process on composition of the extracts and in ulvan itself. In this context, the two main objectives of the present work are (1) the establishment of an efficient extraction process for ulvan and (2) development of an accurate characterization methodology to evaluate the extract composition and ulvan content. Three ulvan-rich extracts obtained by different schemes of extraction were studied. The methodology for the analysis was improved and a detailed analysis of extracted ulvan was provided. The polysaccharide is rich in ulvanobiuronic acid 3-sulfate type A [→4)-β-d-GlcAp-(1 → 4)-α-l-Rhap 3S-(1→], with minor amounts of ulvanobiuronic acid 3-sulfate type B [→4)-α-l-IdoAp-(1 → 4)-α-l-Rhap 3S-(1→]. The extract with the higher degree of purification is a high molecular weight polysaccharide (790 kDa) composed of rhamnose (22.4%), glucuronic acid (22.5%), xylose (3.7%), iduronic acid (3.1%) and glucose (1.0%). It is highly sulfated (32.2%) and contains 1.3% of proteins and 10.3% of inorganic material. Applying simple extraction scheme it was possible to obtain an extract from green algae with high content of ulvan without affecting the overall chemical structure of the polysaccharide.

Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) display affinity for cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans with biological relevance in virus entry. Here, we exploit an approach to inhibiting HSV infection by using a sulfated fucoidan, and a guluronic acid-rich alginate derived from Sargassum tenerrimum, mimicking the active domain of the entry receptor. These macromolecules have apparent molecular masses of 30 ± 5 and 26 ± 5 kDa, respectively. They and their chemically sulfated derivatives showed activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Their inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50) values were in the range 0.5-15 μg/ml and they lacked cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 1000 μg/ml. The anti-HSV activity increased with increasing sulfate ester content. Our results suggest the feasibility of inhibiting HSV infection by blocking viral entry with polysaccharide having specific structure.
