Potential of Polar Lipids Isolated from the Marine Sponge Haliclona ( Halichoclona) vansoesti against Melanoma. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7418. [PMID: 39000524 PMCID: PMC11242152 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Marine sponges represent a good source of natural metabolites for biotechnological applications in the pharmacological, cosmeceutical, and nutraceutical fields. In the present work, we analyzed the biotechnological potential of the alien species Haliclona (Halichoclona) vansoesti de Weerdt, de Kluijver & Gomez, 1999, previously collected in the Mediterranean Sea (Faro Lake, Sicily). The bioactivity and chemical content of this species has never been investigated, and information in the literature on its Caribbean counterpart is scarce. We show that an enriched extract of H. vansoesti induced cell death in human melanoma cells with an IC50 value of 36.36 µg mL-1, by (i) triggering a pro-inflammatory response, (ii) activating extrinsic apoptosis mediated by tumor necrosis factor receptors triggering the mitochondrial apoptosis via the involvement of Bcl-2 proteins and caspase 9, and (iii) inducing a significant reduction in several proteins promoting human angiogenesis. Through orthogonal SPE fractionations, we identified two active sphingoid-based lipid classes, also characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry, as the main components of two active fractions. Overall, our findings provide the first evaluation of the anti-cancer potential of polar lipids isolated from the marine sponge H. (Halichoclona) vansoesti, which may lead to new lead compounds with biotechnological applications in the pharmaceutical field.

Abstract
AIMS Sessile marine invertebrates engage in a diverse array of beneficial interactions with bacterial symbionts. One feature of some of these relationships is the presence of bioactive natural products that can defend the holobiont from predation, competition or disease. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial activity and microbial community of a common temperate sponge from coastal North Carolina. METHODS AND RESULTS The sponge was identified as a member of the genus Haliclona, a prolific source of bioactive natural products, based on its 18S rRNA gene sequence. The crude chemical extract and methanol partition had broad activity against the assayed Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. Further fractionation resulted in two groups of compounds with differing antimicrobial activity, primarily against Gram-positive test organisms. There was, however, notable activity against the Gram-negative marine pathogen, Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Microbial community analysis of the sponge and surrounding sea water via denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) indicates that it harbours a distinct group of bacterial associates. CONCLUSIONS The common temperate sponge, Haliclona sp., is a source of multiple antimicrobial compounds and has some consistent microbial community members that may play a role in secondary metabolite production. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These data suggest that common temperate sponges can be a source of bioactive chemical and microbial diversity. Further studies may reveal the importance of the microbial associates to the sponge and natural product biosynthesis.

Abstract
Seven new amino alcohol compounds, pseudoaminols A-G (1-7), were isolated from the ascidian Pseudodistoma sp. collected off the coast of Chuja-do, Korea. Structures of these new compounds were determined by analysis of the spectroscopic data and from chemical conversion. The presence of an N-carboxymethyl group in two of the new compounds (6 and 7) is unprecedented among amino alcohols. Several of these compounds exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity, as well as weak inhibitory activity toward Na+/K+-ATPase.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of clavaminol-G (1) and 1-aminoundecan-2-ol (2) has been achieved from 10-undecenoic acid using epoxidation, regioselective azidolysis and in situ detosylation and reduction reactions as key steps. The methodology is extended for the synthesis of 1-aminoundecan-2-ol derivatives; namely, methyl 11-amino-10-hydroxyundecanoate (3), 11-amino-10-hydroxyundecanoic acid (4) and 11-aminoundecan-1,10-diol (5). Among these, 1-aminoundecan-2-ol (2) exhibited good antimicrobial activity and promising cytotoxicity towards HeLa, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and A549 cell lines with IC50 values of 4.36, 4.02, 3.88 and 6.78 μM, respectively. Compound 3 exhibited good activity against HeLa cells (IC50 = 3.59 μM), while compound 5 showed moderate activity towards HeLa and A549 cell lines. Clavaminol G (1) and compound 4 showed no activity towards all the cell lines.

Abstract
Halisphingosines A (1) and B (2), modified long-chain sphingoid bases, from the marine sponge Haliclona tubifera collected in Brazil, were characterized after conversion to their N-Boc derivatives. The 2R,3R,6R configuration of halisphingosine A, a compound first reported from Haliclona sp. from South Korea, was confirmed using a novel CD approach: deconvolution of exciton coupling from mono- and trinaphthoyl derivatives obtained by derivatization of the natural product. The sensitive CD deconvolution method, applicable to submilligram samples, simultaneously predicted the relative and absolute configuration of three stereocenters in halisphingosine A with precision and accuracy. Halisphingosine B was assigned by correlation to halisphingosine A.

Abstract
A five-step transformation of D-glucosamine, commencing with indium-mediated Barbier reaction without isolation of intermediates, into (R,R)-2-aminohex-5-ene-1,3-diol in 45-51% is described. The latter is a useful synthon for assembly of L-threo-sphingoid bases: long-chain aminoalkanols and aminoalkanediols with configurations antipodal to that found in mammalian D-erythro-sphingosine but prevalent among invertebrate-derived sphingolipids. The utility of the method is demonstrated by the first total synthesis of rhizochalinin C, the long-chain, "two-headed" sphingoid base aglycon of the natural product rhizochalin C from the marine sponge Rhizochalina incrustata.

Abstract
A general synthetic strategy toward alpha- or beta-galactosylceramides and their analogues from 3-azido-2-O-benzyl-1-O-(4-methoxybenzyl)butane-1,2,4-triol is described. The key steps for the installation of the main lipid chain are either a diasteroselective alkynylation reaction yielding the 4R stereocenter of phytosphingosine or a Wittig olefination generating the trans double bond of sphingosine. The methodology allows the preparation of different glycolipids with variations in the structure of the sphingoid base. In particular, three alpha-GalCer-related compounds have been synthesized and evaluated for their ability to activate CD1d-restricted T-cells.

Abstract
[Structure: see text] The C-sulfatide 1b was synthesized through a [2,3]-Wittig sigmatropic rearrangement and a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination as the key steps. The C-analogue 1b is less immunogenic than natural sulfatide 1a, but induces a preferential secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine IFN-gamma.
