Abstract
Three quinone-terpenoid alkaloids, alashanines A-C (1-3), possessing an unprecedented 6/6/6 tricyclic conjugated backbone and quinone-quinoline-fused characteristic, were isolated from the peeled stems of Syringa pinnatifolia. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of extensive spectroscopic data and quantum chemical calculations. A hypothesis of biosynthesis pathways for 1-3 was proposed on the basis of the potential precursor iridoid and benzoquinone. Compound 1 exhibited antibacterial activities against Bacillus subtilis and cytotoxicity against HepG2 and MCF-7 human cancer cell lines. The results of the cytotoxic mechanism revealed that compound 1 induced apoptosis of HepG2 cells through activation of ERK.

Front Chem 2022; 10:898436.

Abstract
Marine alkaloids have novel structures and antitumor activities. Therefore, we synthesized rhopaladins’ analogs from marine alkaloids rhopaladins A-D and modified their structures to synthesize 4-benzylidene-5-pyrrolidone derivatives. Among the compounds, (2E, 4E)-4-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-2-(4-chlorostyryl)-N-cyclohexyl-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (RPDPRH) has high efficiency and less hepatotoxicity, with IC50 values of 4.66, 6.42, 17.66, 15.2, 12.36, 22.4, and 243.2 μM in vitro anti-proliferative activity testing against cervical cancer C-33A, CaSki, SiHa, and HeLa cells, human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 and 7402 cells, and human normal liver LO2 cells, respectively. In particular, RPDPRH has similar activity to cisplatin on human hepatocarcinoma cells, and cisplatin served as a positive control in our study. Next, the apoptosis of HepG2 and 7402 cells induced by RPDPRH at different concentrations was detected by Annexin V/PI flow cytometry. Moreover, the expression of apoptotic proteins was detected by Western blot analysis. Finally, the results showed that RPDPRH could induce apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma cells by regulating Bax and Bcl-2 expressions. In summary, our results indicate that RPDPRH has the potential to serve as an antitumor agent and plays a significant role in future studies.

Marine sponge-derived/inspired drugs and their applications in drug delivery systems. Future Med Chem 2021; 13:487-504.

Abstract
Oceans harbor a vast biodiversity that is not represented in terrestrial habitats. Marine sponges have been the richest source of marine natural products reported to date, and sponge-derived natural products have served as inspiration for the development of several drugs in clinical use. However, many promising sponge-derived drug candidates have been stalled in clinical trials due to lack of efficacy, off-target toxicity, metabolic instability or poor pharmacokinetics. One possible solution to this high clinical failure rate is to design drug delivery systems that deliver drugs in a controlled and specific manner. This review critically analyzes drugs/drug candidates inspired by sponge natural products and the potential use of drug delivery systems as a new strategy to enhance the success rate for translation into clinical use.

Abstract
This review covers recent literature from 2012-2019 concerning 170 marine natural products and their semisynthetic analogues with strong anticancer biological activities. Reports that shed light on cellular and molecular mechanisms and biological functions of these compounds, thus advancing the understanding in cancer biology are also included. Biosynthetic studies and total syntheses, which have provided access to derivatives and have contributed to the proper structure or stereochemistry elucidation or revision are mentioned. The natural compounds isolated from marine organisms are divided into nine groups, namely: alkaloids, sterols and steroids, glycosides, terpenes and terpenoids, macrolides, polypeptides, quinones, phenols and polyphenols, and miscellaneous products. An emphasis is placed on several drugs originating from marine natural products that have already been marketed or are currently in clinical trials.

Abstract
Sessile marine sponges provide an abundance of unique and diversified scaffolds. In particular, marine guanidine alkaloids display a very wide range of biological applications. A large number of cyclic guanidine alkaloids, including crambines, crambescins, crambescidins, batzelladines or netamins have been isolated from Poecilosclerida marine sponges. In this review, we will explore the chemodiversity of tri- and pentacyclic guanidine alkaloids. NMR and MS data tools will also be provided, and an overview of the wide range of bioactivities of crambescidins and batzelladines derivatives will be given.
