Abstract

Two sulfated diterpene glycosides featuring a highly substituted and sterically encumbered cyclopropane ring have been isolated from the marine red alga Peyssonnelia sp. Combination of a wide array of 2D NMR spectroscopic experiments, in a systematic structure elucidation workflow, revealed that peyssonnosides A–B (1–2) represent a new class of diterpene glycosides with a tetracyclo [7.5.0.01,10.05,9] tetradecane architecture. A salient feature of this workflow is the unique application of quantitative interproton distances obtained from the rotating frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) NMR experiment, wherein the β-d-glucose moiety of 1 was used as an internal probe to unequivocally determine the absolute configuration, which was also supported by optical rotatory dispersion (ORD). Peyssonnoside A (1) exhibited promising activity against liver stage Plasmodium berghei and moderate antimethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) activity, with no cytotoxicity against human keratinocytes. Additionally, 1 showed strong growth inhibition of the marine fungus Dendryphiella salina indicating an antifungal ecological role in its natural environment. The high natural abundance and novel carbon skeleton of 1 suggests a rare terpene cyclase machinery, exemplifying the chemical diversity in this phylogenetically distinct marine red alga.
