Abstract
A series of oligomeric phenols including the
known natural product 3,4,3′,4′-tetrahydroxy-1,1′-biphenyl (3), the previously synthesized 2,3,8,9-tetrahydroxybenzo[c]-chromen-6-one (4), and eight new related natural products, cladophorols B−I (5−12), were isolated from the Fijian green alga Cladophora socialis and identified by a combination of NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometric analysis, and computational modeling using DFT calculations. J-resolved spectroscopy and line width reduction by picric acid addition aided in resolving the heavily overlapped aromatic signals. A panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens used to evaluate
pharmacological potential led to the determination that cladophorol C (6) exhibits potent antibiotic activity selective toward methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with an MIC of 1.4 μg/mL. Cladophorols B (5) and D−H (7−11) had more modest but also selective antibiotic potency. Activities of cladophorols A−I (4−12) were also assessed against the asexual blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum and revealed cladophorols A (4) and B (5) to have modest activity with EC50 values of
0.7 and 1.9 μg/mL, respectively.
