Structural frames differ amongst these metabolites, and therefore we classified compounds 1 and 4– 6 as aplysiatoxins as they possess 6/12/6 and 6/10/6 tricyclic ring systems featuring a macrolactone ring, and compounds 2, 3 and 7 as oscillatoxins that feature a hexane-tetrahydropyran in a spirobicyclic system. Bioactivity experiments showed that compounds 1 and 4–6 presented significant expression of phosphor-PKCd whereas compounds 2, 5 and 7 showed the most potent blocking activity against Received 5th February 2019 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. potassium channel Kv1.5 with IC values of 0.79 Æ 0.032 mM, 1.28 Æ 0.080 mM and 1.47 Æ 0.138 mM, Accepted 25th February 2019 50 respectively.
