In the present study, the in vitro cytotoxic effects of six semi-synthetic derivatives of elatol (1) and isoobtusol (2) were investigated. Chemical modifications were performed on the hydroxyl groups aiming to get derivatives of different polarity, namely the hemisuccinate, carbamate and sulfamate. The structural elucidation of the new derivatives was based on detailed NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses. The in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 1 to 8 was evaluated against A459 and RD tumor cell lines with CC50 values ranging from 4.93 to 41.53 µM. These results suggest that the structural modifications performed on both compounds could be considered a good strategy to obtain more active derivatives.
Conformational Studies of Marine Polyhalogenated ?-Chamigrenes Using Temperature-dependent NMR spectra inverted-chair and twist-boat cyclohexane moieties in the presence of an axial halogen atom at C(8)
α-Chamigren-3-one (+)-8 bearing an axial CI-atom at C(8) exists as a largely dominant conformer with Me—C(5) at the envelope-shaped enone ring pointing away from CIax−C(8) at the cyclohexane ring (= B) in the ‘normal’ chair conformation, as shown by 1H-NMR. In contrast, the α-chamigren-3-ols (+)-9 and (+)-10, obtained from hydride reduction of (+)-8, show a temperature-dependent equilibrium of conformers where
