Their structures were elucidated by using extensive 1D (1H, 13C) and 2D (1H–1H COSY, HSQC and HMBC) NMR studies and mass spectroscopic data (GC-MS and HR-MS) as well as alkaline hydrolysis followed by GC–MS and NMR spectral analyses of the fatty acid methyl esters. This is the first report of compounds 3–5 from the Red Sea ascidian Didemnum species. Keywords: marine ascidian; Didemnum species; glycerides; sterols 1. Introduction Recently, marine ascidians have been widely recognised as a rich source of bioactive natural products. Members of the genus Didemnum have yielded a variety of interesting secondary Downloaded by [Gamal Mohamed] at 08:21 20 June 2014 metabolites. Examples of these secondary metabolites include alkaloids (Davis et al. 1999; Oku et al. 2000), lipids (Mitchell et al. 2000), peptides (Rudi et al. 2003; Toshiaki et al. 2008) and macrolides (Potts & Faulkner 1991; Pika & Faulkner 1995). Many of the isolated compounds were found to possess significant biological activities including antiplasmodial (Wright et al. 2002), antibacterial (Kumaran et al. 2011), antiviral (Davis et al. 1999), cytotoxic (Segraves et al. 2003) and antileukaemic (Takeara et al. 2008). Previous investigation of the Red Sea Didemnum species led to the isolation of two new spiroketals, didemnaketals D and E (Mohamed et al. 2014). In continuation of our investigation of the same species, we describe here the isolation and structural elucidation of two new glycerides named didemnacerides A (1) and B (2), along with three known sterols, 24-ethyl-25-hydroxycholesterol (3) (Siddiqui et al. 1989), cholest-6-en-3,5,8-triol (4) (Youssef et al. 2010) and cholestane-3b,5a,6b-26-tetrol (5) (Liyanage & Schmitz 1996). Compounds 3–5 are reported here for the first time from the Red Sea ascidian Didemnum species (Figure 1). *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] q 2014 Taylor & Francis 2 S.R.M. Ibrahim et al. Figure 1. Structures of the isolated compounds 1–5. 2. Results and discussion Compound 1 was isolated as colourless oil. Its HR-ESI-MS revealed a pseudo-molecular ion þ peak at m/z 1011.9239 [M þ H] , which is consistent with a molecular formula C66H122O6, requiring six degrees of unsaturation. Its IR spectrum revealed absorption bands at 2925 and 2850 (alkyl chain), 1655 (double bond) and 1732 (ester carbonyl) cm21 (Silverstein & Webster 1998; Ibrahim et al. 2009). The presence of a strong absorption band at 1732 cm21 in the IR 0 000 00 13 spectrum along with signals at dC 172.8 (C-1 ,1 ) and 173.3 (C-1 )in C NMR spectrum suggested the presence of three ester carbonyls in 1 (Shiao & Shiao 1989; Vlahov 1999; Swaroop et al. 2005; Vlahov 2009; Wang et al. 2010) (Supplementary Figure S2). The appearance of only two signals for three ester carbonyls suggested the symmetric nature of 1 (Swaroop et al. 2005; Ibrahim 2014). The signals at dH 4.29 and 4.15/dC 62.0 (H-1/C-1), 5.27/68.4 (H-2/C-2), and 4.31 and 4.14/62.1 (H-3/C-3) along with the fragment ion peaks at m/z þ þ 704.6235 [M þ H–C21H39O] and 397.3242 [M þ H–C42H78O2] confirmed that 1 is a triglyceride with C21 fatty acids, which was further confirmed by the observed COSY correlations (Supplementary Figures S1, S3, and S11). The 1H NMR spectrum exhibited signals 0 00 000 for olefinic protons at dH 5.36 (3H, each t, J ¼ 6.0 Hz, H-6 ,6,6 ) and 5.34 (3H, each t, Downloaded by [Gamal Mohamed] at 08:21 20 June 2014 0 00 000 0 000 00 J ¼ 6.0 Hz, H-7 ,7 ,7 ) correlated with carbons at dH 129.9 (C-6 ,6 ), 130.0 (C-6 ), 129.8 (C- 700) and 129.7 (C-70,7000) in the HSQC spectrum, also indicating the presence of three olefinic double bonds in 1. The geometry of the double bonds was deduced to be Z based on the coupling constant values (J60,70 ¼ J600,700 ¼ J6000,7000 ¼ 6.0 Hz) (de Carvalho et al. 2000; Ibrahim 2014). The 1H NMR spectrum revealed characteristic signals for the terminal methyl protons of the fatty 00 0 000 acids at dH 0.87 (t, J ¼ 6.5 Hz, H-21 ) and 0.85 (t, J ¼ 6.5 Hz, H-21 ,21 ), broad signals at dH 00 0 1.23–1.38 for the methylene protons, two methylene triplets at dH 2.32 (H-2 ) and 2.31 (H-2 , 000 00 0 000 00 2 ), and two multiplets at dH 1.63 (H-3 ) and 1.61 (H-3 ,3 ). In the COSY spectrum, H-2 and H-20,2000 correlated with H-300 and H-30,3000, which further correlated to H-400 and H-40,4000, respectively. The coupling observed in the COSY spectrum between the proton signals at dH 2.01 (H-50,5000,80,8000) and 2.02 (H-500,800) and the olefinic protons indicated its connection to the double bond carbon. In HMBC spectrum (Supplementary Figures S5 and S11), the carbonyl 00 0 000 carbon signals at dC 173.3 (C-1 ) and 172.8 (C-1 ,1 ) showed correlations with proton signals at 00 0 000 00 dH 2.32 (2H, t, J ¼ 7.5 Hz, H-2 ), 2.31 (4H, t, J ¼ 7.5 Hz, H-2 , H-2 ), 1.63 (2H, m, H-3 ) and 1.61 (4H, t, H-30,3000), also confirming that 1 is a triglyceride with long chain fatty acid esters.

Received: 16 September 2011; in revised form: 11 October 2011 / Accepted: 14 October 2011 / Published: 19 October 2011 Abstract: About 300 alkaloid structures isolated from marine ascidians are discussed in term of their occurrence, structural type and reported pharmacological activity. Some major groups (e.g., the lamellarins and the ecteinascidins) are discussed in detail, highlighting their potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer or viral infections. Keywords: natural products; alkaloids; ascidians; ecteinascidis; lamellarins 1. Introduction Ascidians belong to the phylum Chordata, which encompasses all vertebrate animals, including mammals and, therefore, they represent the most highly evolved group of animals commonly investigated by marine natural products chemists. Together with the other classes (Thaliacea, Appendicularia, and Sorberacea) included in the subphylum Urochordata (=Tunicata), members of the class Ascidiacea are commonly referred to as tunicates, because their body is covered by a saclike case or tunic, or as sea squirts, because many species expel streams of water through a siphon when disturbed. There are roughly 3,000 living species of tunicates, of which ascidians are the most abundant and, thus, the mostly chemically investigated.

  • Ascidiacea Ascidiacea
    ASCIDIACEA ASCIDIACEA The Ascidiacea, the largest class of the Tunicata, are fixed, filter feeding organisms found in most marine habitats from intertidal to hadal depths. The class contains two orders, the Enterogona in which the atrial cavity (atrium) develops from paired dorsal invaginations, and the Pleurogona in which it develops from a single median invagination. These ordinal characters are not present in adult organisms. Accordingly, the subordinal groupings, Aplousobranchia and Phlebobranchia (Enterogona) and Stolidobranchia (Pleurogona), are of more practical use at the higher taxon level. In the earliest classification (Savigny 1816; Milne-Edwards 1841) ascidians-including the known salps, doliolids and later (Huxley 1851), appendicularians-were subdivided according to their social organisation, namely, solitary and colonial forms, the latter with zooids either embedded (compound) or joined by basal stolons (social). Recognising the anomalies this classification created, Lahille (1886) used the branchial sacs to divide the group (now known as Tunicata) into three orders: Aplousobranchia (pharynx lacking both internal longitudinal vessels and folds), Phlebobranchia (pharynx with internal longitudinal vessels but lacking folds), and Stolidobranchia (pharynx with both internal longitudinal vessels and folds). Subsequently, with thaliaceans and appendicularians in their own separate classes, Lahille's suborders came to refer only to the Class Ascidiacea, and his definitions were amplified by consideration of the position of the gut and gonads relative to the branchial sac (Harant 1929). Kott (1969) recognised that the position of the gut and gonads are linked with the condition and function of the epicardium. These are significant characters and are informative of phylogenetic relationships. However, although generally conforming with Lahille's orders, the new phylogeny cannot be reconciled with a too rigid adherence to his definitions based solely on the branchial sac.

Received: 10 May 2020; Accepted: 9 June 2020; Published: 11 June 2020 Abstract: Tunicates (ascidians) are common marine invertebrates that are an exceptionally important source of natural products with biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, including compounds that are used clinically in cancers. Among tunicates, the genus Didemnum is important because it includes the most species, and it belongs to the most speciose family (Didemnidae). The genus Didemnum includes the species D. molle, D. chartaceum, D. albopunctatum, and D. obscurum, as well as others, which are well known for their chemically diverse secondary metabolites.
