E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Marine microorganisms, especially marine fungi, are known to be rich sources of structurally interesting and biologically active compounds. The fungal genus Eurotium, which is the teleomorph of Aspergillus, has been proved to contain an important class of secondary metabolites with structure of tryptophan-derived alkaloids.1 Recently, from the endophytic fungus Eurotium cristatum EN-220, extracted from the marine alga Sargassum thunbergii, a new indole alkaloid called cristatumin D (1) was isolated, which showed moderate antimicrobial and antifungal activities.2 Cristatumin D is a heterodimeric diketopiperazine alkaloid that consists of two subunits of a hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole fused to a diketopiperazine ring. Both subunits are connected to each other through the C3 and C3’ atoms, forming a characteristic arrangement of two contiguous quaternary stereogenic centers with the same configuration. Based on our experience in these type of compounds,3 we have carried out a stereoselective total synthesis of cristatumin D based on two key disconnections: i) the construction of the diketopiperazine rings in the last stage, by simple condensation between the methyl esters and the corresponding L-alanine or D-valine and, ii) the formation of dimeric hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole by reductive dimerization mediated by CoCl(PPh3)3. The analysis of their spectroscopic data of the synthetic material was inconsistent with those of the natural product (2) and the structure was revised. This revision is yet another example of the fundamental role of total synthesis in the validation of the proposed structures of natural products.4 References 1 2 3 4 (a) Slack, G.

Thus, we must rethink cultivation, detection, and isolation strategies for bacterial secondary metabolites in order to explore the so far uncharacterized chemical potential of these organisms.We are currently investigating the use of natural substrates and co-cultures with commensal bacteria to elicit or alter production of antibacterial compounds in marine bacteria. One of our target organisms isPhotobacterium halotolerans, a marine Vibrionaceae bacterium that produces a series of bioactive compounds, including the antibiotic holomycin1 and the solonamides that attenuate virulence in Staphyloccocus aureus.2 We found the production of these compounds were largely unaffected by changes in media or presence of other bacteria; however, using MALDI-TOF imaging mass spectrometry3 we found another group of metabolites, the ngercheumicins4to be strongly induced by presence of other bacteria. In addition, we have used molecular networking5 of live (with nanoDESI) and extracted bacterial colonies to identify changes in metabolite production on complex and natural substrates. Growth of P. halotolerans on chitin, an N-acetyl-D-glucosamine polymer found in the exoskeleton of zooplankton, resulted in the production of potential novel metabolites not observed on standard glucose-based media. Our results support the hypothesis that rational use of substrates and co-cultures that mimic natural conditions represents a fruitful approach for elicitation of natural product production in marine bacteria.

Email: [email protected] 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Posters Session 2 SeaBioTech is an EU-FP7 project designed and driven by SMEs to create innovative marine biodiscovery pipelines as a means to convert the potential of marine biotechnology into novel industrial products for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, functional food and industrial chemistry sectors. Sponges are a rich source of novel metabolites that are of medicinal interest particularly as anticancer compounds. Spongeassociated endosymbiotic bacteria produce a plethora of novel secondary metabolites which may be structurally unique with interesting pharmacological properties. They provide chemical defence against environmental stresses such as predators and overgrowth of fouling organisms. Some of these secondary metabolites can be produced in large quantities on a biotechnological scale without the need to harvest the sponge and are therefore an economically viable source of commercial quantities of metabolites of interest. The metabolomic methods of dereplication and metabolic profiling were used to identify pharmacologically relevant secondary metabolites from 80 sponge-associated endosymbiotic bacteria using LC-FTMS and NMR spectroscopy to analyse microbial extracts from solid cultures and liquid broths. Following taxonomic identification and bioassay screening, multivariate statistical analysis methods were employed for bioactive compound discovery. Several species of Vibrionaceae were identified that displayed strong anti-mycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium marinum. Differences in the mass spectrometry and NMR spectra from active and inactive bacterial extracts were probed using multivariate analysis in an attempt to uncover metabolites responsible for the bioactivity during the dereplication process. This study illustrates how metabolomics can be utilised to accelerate the selection of endosymbionts to take forward to scale-up, potentially fast-tracking the drug discovery process. 171 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 172 P 107 Posters Session 2 A NEWANTIBACTERIAL POLYKETIDE FROM THE MARINE ALGADERIVED ENDOPHITIC Streptomyces sundarbansensis WR1L1S8 Ines Mancini1, IbtissemDjinni1,2, Andrea Defant1 and MouloudKecha 2 1 Bioorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Trento, via Sommarive 1438123 Povo Trento- Italy. 2Laboratory of Applied Microbiology, Faculty of Nature Science and Life, University of Bejaia, TargaOuzemmour,Bejaia 06000, Algeria E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 With the aim of finding novel marine actinobacteria strains able to produce bioactive metabolites, twenty two algae-derived actinomycetales were isolated in Bejaia coastline, Algeria. The crude EtOAc extract from Streptomyces sp. WR1L1S8, obtained from brown algae Fucus sp. and identified as Streptomyces sundarbansensis by 16S rRNA analysis, showed the most promising inhibition on the growth of a series of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The known phaechromicin B, C and E were isolated,1 together with the new chiral polyketide 1, bearing an unusual propyl chain. The 2-hydroxy- -pyrone form was established based on the comparison of the experimental FT-IR spectrum to the DFT calculated spectra for both the 2-hydroxy- -pyrone and 4-hydroxy--pyrone forms and to standard compounds.Metabolite 1 stood out as the most active among the products isolated from Streptomyces sp. WR1L1S8, showing a selective activity against thepathogenic methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), with a MIC value = 6 μ.2 A further study was designed in order to investigate whether culture conditions (media, seawater concentration and pH values), could induce S. sundarbansensis to produce compound 1. It resulted the major metabolite from starch casein agar (SCA) medium in 50% seawater at pH 7. Metabolite profiles obtained under different culture condition were efficiently evaluated through the analysis on the corresponding crude extracts by online HPLC-DAD/ESI-MS technique.3 References 1. 2. 3. 172 Graziani, E.I., Ritacco, F.V., Bernan, V.S., Telliez, J.B.

E-mail: [email protected] Biofouling, the undesirable settlement and proliferation of marine organisms on manmade substrata, imposes severe economic costs to human activities in the sea.1 Since the ban on organotin compounds in 2008, alternative antifouling compounds are needed. In this context, quaternary phosphonium salts, which have been focus of attention in recent years in biomedical research for their antiproliferative and antibacterial properties,2,3 arise as a promising class of molecules with a high potential for antifouling applications. We have evaluated the bioactivity of several alkyl triphenylphosphonium bromides differing mainly in the length of the alkyl chain towards a panel of microbial foulers (marine bacteria, marine-derived fungi and benthic diatoms). A clear correlation between the biological activity and the liphophilicity of the cations has been observed. Compounds with alkyl chains of 11-13 carbons displayed the highest bioactivities, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values below 5 μM for most of the test organisms. Toxicity on Artemia salina nauplii was observed at similar concentrations. The results reported herein indicate that covalent attachment of these molecules to material surfaces and polymers could provide an efficient solution for the control of the early stages of the biofouling process.

E-mail: [email protected] Hectochlorins1 and Lyngbyabellin2 are marine cyanobacterial -hydroxy-containing lipopeptides with significant antifungal and cytotoxic activity. Hectochlorin shows a unique cytotoxicity profile by the COMPARE algorithm, being a strong promoter of actin polymerization. During the study of the cyanobaterium Lyngbya sp. collected off the coast of Fiji, two new hectochlorin analogues named Hectochlorin C and D were isolated together with their non-cyclic analogues Hectochlorin E and F. Their structures have been elucidated by mass spectrometry and 1D and 2D NMR experiments (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC) and the stereochemistry was determined by comparing their NMR data with that of the reported Hectochlorins. The cytotoxic activity of Hectochlorins C-F has been tested against three human tumor cell lines,3 lung (A549), colon (HT29) and breast (MDA-MB-231), and all the compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against the lines. Posters Session 2 Synthetic studies have been conducted to develop a flexible route to the hectochlorin core and to provide access to new synthetic analogues with potentially improved activity and/or other improved attributes relative to the natural product.

E-mail: [email protected] Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSI) have shown a great potential to become into therapeutic agents for treatment of some diseases caused by bacteria1, and as additives in formulation of antifouling coats2. Marine bacteria are a promissory source of QSI compounds, QS phenomenon is the basis of interactions between bacteria and the eukaryotic host and other bacteria present in host surface.3,4 In the present work, we evaluated 15 bacterial strains extracts belonging to Firmicutes phylum, previously isolated from the octocoral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae (SW Caribbean sea, Colombia), as source of QSI compounds. Each bacterium was cultured in four different liquid media, extracted with organic solvent and tested as QSI using Cromobacterium violaceum ATCC 31532 as biosensor. The strain Jeotgalicoccus halophilus RKHC-28 showed the best QS inhibition activity. Additionally, chemical compounds produced by this bacterium have not yet examined. J. halophilus was cultured in Luria Bertani with marine salts (LBS) broth medium, and extracted with DCM. The organic extract was separated by column chromatography using Diol as stationary phase. Bioguided methodology allowed the isolation of five compounds, which were identified by NMR, UV and MS. The isolated compounds include phenolic derivatives: 4-(methylthio)phenol and p-hydroxybezaldehyde; indolic derivatives: 3-indolaldehyde and (1-H-indol-3-yl)oxoacetamide; and an aliphatic amide 2-methylpropanoamide beside a non-ribosomal peptide partially characterized. A strong QSI activity was observed for compounds (0.36, 0.41, 0.68, 1.06 and 1.14 mM, respectively) using the biosensor C. violaceum and Dobretsov multi-well plate methodology3. The known QSI compound kojic acid was used as positive control (1.4 mM). Posters Session 2 References 1. 2. 3. 4. Kalia, V.C. Quorum sensing inhibitors: An overview. Biotecnol. Adv. 2013, 31, 224.

E-mail: [email protected] Microalgae are a heterogeneous group of organisms with a host of characteristics that distinguish them, some of those being cell size, colour, inhabitation of aquatic environment, as well as being unicellular and quite often, photoautotrophic. The microalgae produce many valuable products, developing integrated microalgae processing (MAP) for the sequential production of various products from the same microalgae biomass can substantially reduce the cost of production, which in turn will make it a profitable enterprise. For example, as the first step in an MAP concept, harvested microalgae mass and culture water can be processed for recombinant protein production. In the second step, the microalgae oil and microalgae meal can be processed. From the algal oil, high-value omega-3 fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, can be separately processed. The rest of the oil can be used for biofuel production. Microalgae biomass can yield many coproducts from the same biomass and this multiproduct paradigm makes it a perfect candidate for the biorefinery concept. By producing various coproducts such as recombinant protein, omega-3 fatty acids and biodiesel in a sequential biomass processing, an microalgae biorefinery takes advantage of the various components in raw material and their intermediates therefore maximizing the value derived from the biomass feedstock. The DOSIP Group has been developed a know-how that involves the use of microalgae for the production at laboratory scale of fatty acids, biodiesel and also value-added coproducts like: and carotenes and its derivatives, lutein, astaxanthin, canthaxanthin (anti- Inflammatory effect in human) and also other pharmaceutical products with more value-added than the aforementioned.

Cytotoxicity of a crude extract and three fractions reflecting a preliminary segregation of lipophilic metabolites was evaluated by MTT in a battery of human tumour cell lines. Positive results were confirmed by the LDH assay. Eleven of the studied strains showed to significantly inhibit the proliferation of the cancer cells. Apoptosis/Necrosis was investigated by the dye exclusion method, using both Propidum Iodide and Hoechst 33342 and by measuring Caspase -3 activity.

Marine invertebrates are consistently exposed to the open water and therefore, produce complex natural products to control and defend against pathogenic microorganisms. Symbiont microorganisms, which can make up to 35 % of the invertebrate biomass, have been shown to produce bioactive natural products which help to protect the host. The objective of this study is to screen for bioactive natural products produced by microbial symbionts isolated from endemic South African marine invertebrates. Selected invertebrates are taxonomically distributed into the phyla Annelida (worms), Chordata (sea squirts), Cnidaria (anemones), Echinodermata (starfish and sea urchins), Mollusca (sea snails, limpets and mussels), Platyhelminthe (flatworms), and Porifera (sponges). Representative members were sampled from Kalk Bay (Western Cape, South Africa), and Algoa Bay (Eastern Cape, South Africa). Preliminary isolate identification was based on Gram staining, colony colour, size, shape and morphology. Antimicrobial activity was determined based on the ability to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis, Pseudomonas putida, Staphyloccocus aureus, Bacillus cereus and an engineered multidrug resistant E. coli K12 strain. Bioactivity was confirmed with solvent extractions and antibiosis. The bioactive isolates were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. This study demonstrates the quintessential role that microorganisms play within biologically active molecule prospecting, as they represent a sizeable component of all known ecosystems. 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products 181 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 182 P 117 Posters Session 2 METAGENOMIC DISCOVERY OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS FROM ENDEMIC MARINE INVERTEBRATES OF SOUTH AFRICA William Mavengere, Lucas Black.

We are exploiting this fact to gain access to previously uninvestigated marine invertebrates for the discovery of novel bioactive compounds. A metagenomic approach allows us greater access to novel metabolic pathways by removing the need to culture recalcitrant marine bacteria as the source of many marine bioactive compounds. To our knowledge this is the first attempt to use a metagenomic approach to identify bioactive compounds in South African marine invertebrates (specifically from the Porifera and Urochordata). Libraries were prepared using the pCCERI cosmid, for expression in multiple host organisms. Here we present our initial results for the construction of large-insert metagenomic libraries from the bacteria associated with endemic marine sponges and tunicates. 182 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 183 Posters Session 2 P 118 USE OF A GLOBAL METABOLIC APPROACH TO DISCRIMINATE STRESSED FROM HEALTY CORALS Fahoullia Mohamadi1, Isabelle Bonnard1, Cédric Bertrand1, Florence Nicolé2, Christine Ferrier-Pagès3, Véronique Berteaux-Lecellier4, Patricia Wecker4, Bernard Banaigs1 1 EA LCBE, Université de Perpignan, Laboratoire de Chimie des Biomolécules et de l’Environnement, 2 Université de Perpignan Via Domitia, 52 avenue Paul Alduy, 66860 Perpignan .

E-mail: [email protected] During the past three decades nearly 30% of the word’s coral reefs have been severely degraded by bleaching1. Coral bleaching is a process whereby corals lose their algal symbiont (zooxanthellae), or the symbiont’s photosynthetic pigments degrade2. Understanding the mechanisms of bleaching is a real challenge as corals bleach under a broad range of external stimuli such as increasing of sea temperature, light irradiance or chemical pollution, that may occur sequentially or simultaneously3. Metabolites, as the end products of metabolism, represent the functional responses of an organism and reflect its physiological condition. With abiotic stresses, an alteration in the molecular constituent is anticipated, characterization of which may form a basis for bleaching diagnosis4. We investigated a metabolomic approach for studying coral bleaching in order to acquire a global view of bleaching mechanisms. We combined extraction of polar and nonpolar metabolites with three fundamental and complementary analytical techniques, GC/MS, LC/MS and NMR, to provide maximal coverage of the metabolome. We focused on compounds that reflect coral physiological status for the improvement of the chemical fingerprints acquisitions. After experimental method validation, we carried out bleaching experiments in aquaria by increasing the temperature or light irradiance on two scleractinian species. Multivariate statistical analysis were processed on the chemical fingerprints with regard to their metabolite contents and levels5.

These receptors regulate the expression of genes involved in many critical processes such as embryonic development, metabolism and inflammation. Dysfunctional signalling ofNRs is thought to be involved in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia. All these facts make NR attractive targets for pharmacological intervention and development of therapeutics. Several NR ligands with well-recognised biological effects are in clinical use, like the hypolipidemic fibrates (e.g. Tricor®), acting as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR ) activators, and the anti-diabetic thiazolidine diones (e.g. Avandia®),targeting PPAR. However, the negative side effects reported forthiazolidine diones point to the need of finding new medicines for treating diseases like type-2 diabetes. A bioassay-guided strategy for identification, purification and characterisation of PPAR ligands from cultured microalgae is presented here. We are making use of biologically assay systems incorporating unique protein targets to identify secondary metabolites possessing desirable pharmacological profiles from extracts generated from microalgae cultures.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Irvalec, Pipecolidepsin A and Stellatolide A are new marine-derived antitumor agents with potent antitumor activity in vitro against a variety of human tumor cell lines. Preliminary studies on the mechanism of action of these cyclic depsipeptides, showed that all share common cellular effects on A549 (NSCLC) and HCT-116 (colon adenocarcinoma) human tumor cells, causing rapid cell membrane permeabilization, and necrotic cell death. In dose-response (DR) curves against a panel of 24 human cancer cell lines, representative of 11 different tissues, the compounds showed GI50 values in the low micromolar range. Interestingly, all the compounds caused a notable inhibition of tumor cell viability after 30 min of exposure, indicating that their cellular effects were produced very rapidly upon treatment. Irvalec, the most extensively studied compound, has been tested in Phase II clinical studies in patients with solid tumors. One complete response was observed in one patient with large cell esophageal carcinoma (24-hour q3wk schedule). Prolonged disease stabilization was also found in different tumor types such as colorectal adenocarcinoma, pancreas adenocarcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma and STS among others. The efficacy of Pipecolidepsin A and Stellatolide A is currently being evaluated in in vivo models.

Marine organisms produce secondary metabolites that can be valuable for the development of novel antimicrobial agents as such, but also by providing structural scaffolds for the design and synthesis of novel antimicrobial compounds. As part of the MAREX project1, two marine secondary metabolites, oroidine and clathrodine, originally isolated from sponges of the genus Agelas, were used as scaffolds for the design and synthesis of analogues. In total 39 analogues were initially screened for their antimicrobial properties at 50 M concentration against C. albicans, E. coli, E. faecalis and S. aureus by using a microdilution assay according to CLSI and EUCAST guidelines. 14 compounds showed inhibition of growth by >80%, and these were studied further by secondary assays, including MIC determination and cytotoxicity against Huh-7 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. Seven analogues were found active against S. aureus with MICs in the range of 12.5-50 M. Selectivity profiles revealed significant differences between the analogues, which is important to consider in the evaluation of their potential as antimicrobial leads.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Marine resources can and should be managed in a sustainable manner. Every day subproducts and residues with high potential for valorisation are discarded. Particularly, sub-products as fish bones can originate calcium phosphates and collagen; from crustaceans exoskeleton and molluscs endoskeleton calcium phosphates and chitin/chitosan can be obtained. From residues of algal blooms different polysaccharides can be extracted. Once extracted and purified, these biopolymers and ceramics can find application in different biomedical areas, such as biomaterials for human tissue regeneration and/or for the release of bioactive compounds. MARMED project aims the valorisation of marine sub-products from several companies from the marine sector by isolation of marine origin biopolymers, ceramics and bioactive compounds, which added-value and high-potential of applicability in biomedical sector is demonstrated by the development of innovative applications. The several research lines are carried on in close collaboration with industries (sub-products generators, valorisation and biomedical) to increase the economic and market potential of the proposed products and technologies, thus boosting their impact on society and contributing to increase the awareness of blue biotechnological potential. Some examples of valorisation strategies and biomedical applications being proposed will be discussed, namely chitosan and collagen-based systems for human tissue regeneration and drug delivery; marine bioceramics for bone tissue engineering; bioactive compounds with antibacterial, anti-viral, antioxidant, pro-mineralisation properties which can be isolated from algae and shellfish. Finally, the contribution of MARMED to set bridges between companies generating marine origin sub-products and the ones exploring biomedical products based in aquatic origin materials will be highlighted. 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products 187 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 188 P 123 Posters Session 2 CHEMICAL C HEMICAL S STUDIES TUDIES O ON NA AUSTRALIAN USTR RALIAN NUDIBRANCHS NUDIBR RANCHS IW aayyan M udianta1, An Anne ne E.

They have drawn attention of marine natural products chemists for almost 50 years due to their high diversity and interesting biological activities [1-3]. Although, these compounds are architecturally complex and highly cyclized, the PIA structures are all assumed to arise from the key intermediate oroidin through an unifying biosynthesis [1,4]. Only a few congeners of the PIA family have yet been isolated as hybrid compounds [PIA/non-PIA] such as nagelamide K [5] and taurodispacamide [6]. In all cases the non-PIA moiety was always a taurine structural element. Herein we report for the first time hybrid PIA derivatives from the marine sponge Agelas sceptrum originated from an atypical merge with an oxoadenine moiety for 1 and a 3-amino-2amino-3-hydroxyphenyl moiety for 2. The structure elucidation including the relative configuration of 1 and 2, the synthetic strategy of 1, and the biological relevance of both structures are discussed. References 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

E-mail: [email protected] Marine sponge-associated bacteria are of considerable current interest as a new and promising source of biologically active compounds. They produce a variety of metabolites, some of which can be used for drug development. Violacein, a violet indole alkaloid produced by several bacterial strains, has attracted much attention in recent literature due to its promising bioactivities such as broad antibacterial, strong bactericidal, antitumor, antiviral, antioxidant and antiprotozoan activities. Therefore, effective violacein production has been developed to address urgent need of large scale supply. However, the development has been limited due to end-product inhibition of violacein. In this study, five different adsorbent resins, namely HP20, XAD4, XAD7, XAD16 and XAD1180 were evaluated for efficiency to enhance violacein production from marine bacteria, Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea which isolated from gulf of Thailand. XAD1180 enhanced the highest yield, particularly when a 2% w.v-1 XAD1180 of the resin was added to medium after 16 h of cultivation. Partially purified violacein (70%) could be easily isolated by washing the resin with methanol. This method could produce 2-fold increment in violacein production when compared with conventional fermentation and maximum yield of violacein was up to 3.285 g.L-1. The use of adsorbent resin in violacein production not only enhanced product yield but also facilitated isolation of violacein from aqueous media. Our approach also serves as an environmentally friendly method for cultivation of bacteria producing bioactive metabolite.

[email protected] Posters Session 2 Antarctic benthic communities are rich sources of bioactive natural products. The production and/or presence of these compounds presumably evolved and was maintained in sessile, sluggish invertebrates as means of protection. Shelf benthic organisms make use of such metabolites as chemical defenses, to mediate ecological interactions and combat intense episodes of predation. Regarding chemicals with feeding repellent properties, these have been well studied, even if seldom have the involved molecules been chemically identified. It is suggested, yet scarcely proved, that protective activities provided by some metabolites interfere with the nutritional quality of prey harboring the compounds. This means that antifeedants would become less effective when combined with energetically rich food items. Moreover, chemicals of different nature provide bioactivities of distinct potency. We evaluated the effectivity of five types of repellents obtained from Antarctic invertebrates, in combination with diets of diverse energetic value. The metabolites tested came from several species of soft corals, ascidians and hexactinellid sponges, and included wax esters, alkaloids, meroterpenoids, steroids, and a newly reported organic acid. This last compound represents the first secondary metabolite ever obtained from glass sponges. Feeding preference assays were performed preparing alginate caviar-pearls containing different food source concentrations, and treated with various concentrations of each product. These pearls were offered to the circumpolar omnivore amphipod Cherimedon femoratus, to determine feeding repellence. We observed significant variability in the effect of the diverse types of repellents, and in relation with pearls’ nutritional content. Our results reflect that energetic value affects the activity of certain chemical defenses. 192 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 193 Posters Session 2 P 128 COMPOSITION AND QUANTITATION OF MICROALGAL LIPIDS BY ERETIC 1H NMR METHOD Genoveffa Nuzzo, Carmen Gallo, Adele Cutignano, Giuliana D’ippolito, Angelo Fontana Cnr-Istituto di Chimica Biomolecolare, Via Campi Flegrei, 34, 80078, Pozzuoli, Naples, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] The importance of microalgae as a source of fatty acids (FAs) and fatty acid derivatives (FADs) has been long claimed.1 The attention for these compounds has been further increasing as consequence of the consideration that microalgae can be suitable source of functional health products (chemicals, drugs, vitamins, etc.) or third generation biofuels. Composition of algal lipids depends greatly on genetic and phenotypic factors.2 Traditional approaches for the quantification of lipid from microalgae rely on labor and intensive methods, such as solvent extraction and gravimetric determination.3 Nile Red, a lipid soluble fluorescent dye, is frequently used to estimate neutral lipids.4 However, this assays is not of universal application. Spectroscopic methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) have been also reported to monitor the products of transesterification reaction.5,6 We discuss a simple procedure based on 1H NMR spectroscopy for identification and quantification of different species of lipids in rough microalgal extracts. Quantitative assessment was established by the ERETIC method in agreement with reference 7. The method offers a rapid assessment of content and composition of major lipid classes, including triglycerides (TAG), phospholipids (PL), glycolipids (GL) and free fatty acid (FFA), that permits the routinely analysis of large number of samples. We analyze the lipid extracts of the microalgae Thalassiosira weissflogii (TW), Nannochloropsis salina (NS) and Cyclotella cryptica (CYC), which belong to different taxonomic classes and are featured by different lipid compositions.8 Full analysis of microalgal samples takes only a few minutes and could be fully automatized.

E-mail: [email protected] Marine dinoflagellates, unicellular phytoplankton, produce numerous bioactive and complex secondary metabolites. The genus Symbiodinium, belonging to the zooxanthellae, is the most representative dinoflagellate, living symbiotically in a wide range of marine invertebrates. In the course of studies on the search for the bioactive secondary metabolites, we succeeded in determining the structure of zooxanthellamide Cs which contain the components with the largest macrolactone ring size (66membered) and have high molecular weight (ca. 2700)1. A further search for the Symbiodinium metabolites resulted in the isolation of a new polyhydroxy compound which exhibited a pseudomolecular ion at m/z 2860 in the negative MALDI-TOF-MS. The metabolite was isolated from zooxanthellae of flatworm together with zooxanthellatoxins2. It has a macrolactone ring with a sulfate group and a spirocyclic moiety was identified by the structural analysis with 1D and 2D NMR. The metabolite was mainly composed of two parts, a large macrolactone part and a long chain part, revealed by detailed NMR analysis. Further studies on the structure and biological activity of the metabolite are in progress. References 1. Posters Session 2 2. Onodera K., Nakamura H., Oba Y., Ohizumi Y., Ojika M., J. Am. Chem.

E-mail: [email protected] Marine biodiversity is an inexhaustible source of bioactive compounds in various areas but much to be done in the interpretation of their ecological roles [1-3]. The aim of this work was to investigate the anti-adhesion properties of natural substances isolated from the brown alga Taonia atomaria, collected on the French Mediterranean coast (Var, France), and, as part of this work; to comprehend the strategies of biofilm regulation at its surface.Molecules from the organic crude extracts were characterized as simple lipids and sesquiterpens, some of them being new from the interpretation of their spectral data. Surface-associated metabolites were assessed after the development of a specific extraction protocol based on the choice of a suitable organic solvent and the appropriate time of exposure keeping the integrity of the algal surface cells. The majority of isolated compounds were tested in laboratory anti-adhesion assays against some bacterial strains isolated from the surface of T. atomaria, and some reference strains coming from artificial substrata. The obtained results showed that reference commercial biocides and compounds from the whole-extract of T. atomaria exhibited a similar effect on all bacterial strains. Interestingly, the main surface metabolite showed no effect against surface-associated bacteria while it seemed to inhibit significantly the settlement of reference strains. Further experimentations are in progress to test the effectiveness of these surfaceassociated metabolites against a large panel of bio-foulers and to explore if chemical cues from associated bacterial communities could be implicated in the biofilm control by T. atomaria.

Seungil Park, Hyi-Seung Lee KIOST, Marine Natural Products Laboratory, 787 Haeanro, 426-744, Ansan, South Korea. E-mail: [email protected] Much attention has been focused on -carboline alkaloids owing to their potential utility and significant biological activity, such as antiviral, antimicrobial, antitumor and insecticidal activity. Alkaloids containing the -carboline skeleton have been isolated from marine invertebrates, which include hydroids, bryozoans, tunicates, and various sponges. The -carboline alkaloids obtained from marine organisms frequently possess novel frameworks while in other cases terrestrially related compounds clearly exist. Their structure elucidation, chemical modification, and synthesis have received a great deal of interdisciplinary attention from areas of research other than chemistry and include pharmacology and medicine. Marine sponges of the genus Hyrtios have proven to be a rich source of structurally diverse metabolites including alkaloids, mainly sesterterpenes, sesquiterpene quinones, macrolides, tryptamine-derived alkaloids and carboline alkaloids. Many of them possess important biological activities. In the course of our study on the chemical investigation of marine organisms, we found -carboline alkaloids from the tropical sponge Hyrtios sp. collected in Chuuk State, Federated States of Micronesia. Bioassay-guided separation of the crude extracts using various chromatographic techniques yielded two new -carboline alkaloids, 6-hydroxy-9Hpyrido[3,4-b]indole-1-carboxylic acid (1) and (5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)(6-hydroxy4,9-dihydro-3H-pyrido [3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanone (2), together with fifteen known 5hydroxyindol alkaloids from the extracts of Hyrtios sp. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of mass spectrometry and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities and anti-oxidant activity. The additional biological activities will be described. References 3. Pedpradab, S.; Edrada, R.; Wray, V.; Proksch, P. J. Nat. Prod. 2004, 67, 2113-2116. Lee, H. S.; Yoon, K. M.; Han, Y. R.; Lee, K.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Efficiency of currently used antibiotics is worldwide decreasing at a worrying rate, while we are faced with new and emerging pathogens. The majority of active natural products are isolated of the Ascomycetes or of the Actinobacteria. Among the 10000 known antibiotics, more than half are produced by bacteria of one single genus, Streptomyces. It is therefore most interesting to search for novel active molecules in yet under explored niches, such as mutualistic microbial symbioses. Lichens are complex organisms harboring bacterial communities on the surface and, more rarely, inside their thalli. Three bacterial phyla are prevalent in this association: Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes. We focus on the cultivable bacterial communities present on three lichens from Brittany coast (France) (Roccella fuciformis, Lichina confinis, L. pygmaea) and one inland lichen from Austria (Collema auriforme) to find new secondary metabolites of interest. These communities are dependent on several extrinsic (environmental) and/or intrinsic parameters including the chemical composition of their substrate (lichens). The aims of this study were (1) to show the abundance and the diversity of the bacterial communities associated to these lichens and (2) to elucidate the secondary metabolites patterns of the lichens and some of their cultivable associated bacteria. 131 different bacterial OTUs (operational taxonomic units) were isolated and identified by 16S rRNA gene analysis from these lichens. More than 30% of all strains express potential bioactive compounds and 10% represent probably new species. We study two of the strains in greater detailed study as they produce potentially interesting and new active secondary metabolites. 198 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 199 Posters Session 2 P 134 SINTHESYS OF 5 ,8 -EPIDIOXICOLEST-6-EN-3-OL DERIVATIES WITH DIFERENTS AROMATIC ACIDS AND THEIR ANTI PLASMODIAL ACTIVITIES Manuel Pastrana1, Alejandro Martínez1 & Silvia Blair2 1 Grupo Productos Naturales Marinos, 2Grupo Malaria. Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín-Colombia. E-mail: [email protected] Epidioxysterols, part of the oxysteroids that have endoperoxide groups in their structure, are compounds with interesting pharmacological properties[1]. Initially, they were found in marine organism like sponges and tunicates and they have been of great interest in the study of natural products mainly for their isolation, origin and properties. These compounds have shown a great diversity of pharmacological properties such as antiproliferative, antitumor, antiparasitarys, anti incrustant and bactericidal[2]. It has been proposed that the pharmacological mechanism of them is related with the release of the singlet oxygen by the retro Diels-Alder addition from which a free radical is produced. This radical is very reactive and it can affect many of the cellular components. Another hypothesis is that oxysterols inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol, a component of the plasmatic membrane, in the process of mitosis[3]. Compounds with the endoperoxide group have been effective in the treatment of some parasites like P.falciparum. One of them is artemisinin[4], it is used in the therapy of the infection of malaria. In this job we have present the synthesis of 5 derivatives of 5 ,8 -epidioxycholest-6-en-3-ol with aromatic acids, see figure 1, forming ester bonds with the Steglich methodologies. Also, the results of their in vitro anti plasmodial activities are shown. This activity was evaluated by the measurement of the metabolism of [3H]-Hipoxantine as a source of purine compounds in this parasite.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Natural product compounds from various marine sources have often been found to be promising pharmaceutical agents. In fact, the marine environment is an exceptional reservoir of bioactive natural products, many of which exhibit structural/chemical features not found in terrestrial natural products. Many of these compounds have showed interesting antitumor activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antitumor activity of isolated fractions obtained from seaweed Bifurcariabifurcate on a human hepatocellular liver cell line model (HepG-2 cells). Nine fractions of Bifurcariabifurcata dichloromethane extracts were produced by Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC) using cyclohexane with increasing amounts of 10% of ethyl acetate. All of the VLC fractions were tested in HepG-2 cells through cytotoxicity and anti-proliferative MTT assays. Cisplatin was used as positive control. The highest cytotoxicity was exhibited by F8 and F9 fractions that reduced the HepG-2 cells viability (24 hours incubation) with an IC50 of 119.0 (88.6 – 159.9) and 57.81 g/ml (30.5 – 109.8), respectively. The IC50 of crude extract and cisplatin were 123.9 (96.7 – 158.6) and 136.5 g/ml (116.5 – 159.9), respectively. In cell proliferation tests the smallest IC50 was linked to the F7 and F8 fraction with 17.1 (11.3 – 25.9) and 18.3 g/ml (14.3 – 23.5). The IC50 of crude extract and cisplatin were 95.3 and 22.6 g/ml, respectively. In conclusion, Bifurcariabifurcata seaweed can be a promising source of new molecules with therapeutically applications in cancer pathology. 200 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 201 Posters Session 2 P 136 ANTIOXIDANT AND ATIMICROBIAL PROTENTIAL OF THE Bifurcaria bifurcata EPIPHYTIC BACTERIA Susete Pinteus1, Sara Fernandez2, André Horta1, Daniel Rodrogues1, Celso Alves1and Rui Pedrosa1 1 GIRM – Marine Resources Research Group, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Peniche, Portugal. 2 Escuela técnica superior de ingeniería agraria (ETSEA), Universityof Lleida, Spain E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Epiphytic bacteria living on the macro-algae surface can be a great source for the search of new antioxidant and antimicrobial metabolites. The aim of this study was the isolation of epiphytic bacteria of Bifurcaria bifurcata and evaluation of the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity in order to understand if the Bifurcaria bifurcata associated bacteria can be or not be linked to the high antioxidant and antimicrobial activity found previously in this alga. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by quantification of the Total Polyphenol Contents, by measure the DPPH free radical scavenging activity and by the ORAC assay using methanol:dichloromethane (1:1) extracts obtained from each of the bacteria freeze dry biomass. The same extracts were also tested against S.aureus, B.subtilis, E. coli 10536 and S. cerevisiae. For the twenty different Bifurcaria bifurcate epiphytic bacteria extracts tested, only two bacteria extracts (1mg/ml) reduced DPPH free radical more than 60%. All the bacteria extracts had shown polyphenol contents less than 10 mg of acid gallic equivalents/g of extract. By contrast, five bacteria showed more than 400 mol trolox equivalent/g of extracts. Five and fourteen bacteria extracts (1mg/ml) completely blunted the S. aureus and B. subtilis growth, respectively. No extracts showed high inhibition against E. coli and S. cerevisiae. In conclusion, Bifurcaria bifurcata bacteria extracts can be used as a source of identification and purification of marine natural compounds with high antioxidant and antibacterial activity. 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products 201 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 202 P 137 Posters Session 2 ANTITUMOR AND ANTIMICROBIAL PROTENTIAL OF THE Asparagopsis armata EPIPHYTIC BACTERIA André Horta, Susete Pinteus, Celso Alves and Rui Pedrosa GIRM – Marine Resources Research Group, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Peniche, Portugal. E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Epiphytic bacteria living on the macro-algae surface can be a great source for new molecules with antitumor and antimicrobial potential. The aim of this study was the isolation of epiphytic bacteria of Asparagopsis armata and the evaluation of the antitumor and antimicrobial activity of the isolated strains. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated with the methanol:dichloromethane (1:1) extracts obtained from each of the bacteria freeze dry biomass. The microbial targets were S.aureus, B.subtilis, E. coli 10536, E. coli 1103, P. aureginosa, Salmonella sp., C. albicansand S. cerevisiae. The antitumor potential was evaluated by the cell viability and the cell proliferation analysis using the MTT assay. The cell lines used were the HepG-2, Caco-2 and MCF-7 cells. For all the three cell lines tested, none of the thirty different Asparagopsis armata epiphytic bacteria extracts (1mg/ml) reduced more than 30% of the cell viability or cell proliferation. On the other hand two extracts (1mg/ml) of different strains (ASP34 and ASP124) inhibited more than 80% of the B. subtilis growth. The strains ASP2, ASP7 and ASP11 extracts also reduced over 80% of the S. aureus growth. In conclusion, the Asparagopsis armata bacteria extracts can be used as a source of identification and purification of marine natural compounds with high antibacterial activity against S. aureus and B. subtilis. 202 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 203 Posters Session 2 P 138 EXERTING EX ERTING CIS-CONTROL CIS-CONTROL OVER OVER R THE THE PROLYL PROLYL PEPTIDE PEPTIDE BONDS: BONDS: REREE EVALUATION OF OF P HAKELLISTATINS BI B OACTIVITY EVALUATION PHAKELLISTATINS BIOACTIVITY M aarta Pelay Pelaay G imeno1, Al Alessandra lessandr d a Meli Meli1, An Andrés drés Francesch Francesch2, Car Carmen men Cu Cuevas evas2, Judit Ju udit Marta Gimeno 1 1 Tulla-Puche Tulla-P Puche , Fe Fernando rnando Albericio Allbbericio 1 Institute In stitute ffor or R Research esearch in in Biomedicine, Biomedicine, IRB IRB Barcelona, Barcelona, Baldiri Baldiri Reixac, Reixac, 110, 0, 008028, 8028, Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.

Spain E-mail: [email protected] Efficient exploitation of the chemical diversity of marine microorganisms relies on accurate genomic intraspecific dereplication in order to identify repeat strains. Horizontal gene transference means that differentiation is required at the subspecie/individual strain level. With the exception of some “predicable species” (vertical transference), partial 16S rRNA sequencing is not efficient enough to be applied upfront as a selection criteria. Of the diverse molecular fingerprinting methods available, Repetitive sequence-based PCR (REP-PCR) has been chosen as the most suitable for drug discovery from marine derived bacteria at PharmaMar. Cost-effective, reproducible and discriminatory, this protocol is based on the analysis and comparison of the individual patterns of DNA bands generated after PCR with interspersed repetitive sequences. Specifically, (GTG)5 and ERIC2 are the primers used for filamentous and unicellular-morphology actinobacteria respectively. Amplicons of different sizes, separated by electrophoresis, allow us to establish the different patterns of DNA fingerprints specific for each strain. The patterns of DNA fingerprints of each strain isolated from the same expedition are compared to each other and the ratio of similarity between them estimated using the BioNumerics software. Only one strain from each DNA fingerprint pattern is preserved. As proof of concept, 23 different strains belonging to the same specie Streptomyces antibioticus were analyzed. All the strains were cultured under the same conditions and different pattern of biological activities and metabolites have been identified. Posters Session 2 This method has enabled us to create a unique collection of marine microorganisms, as the starting point for drug discovery to find potential producers of new antitumor compounds. 204 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 205 Posters Session 2 P 140 BACTERIAL BAC CTERIAL ROMIDEPSI ROMIDEPSIN IN ISOLATED AT PHAR PHARMAMAR RMAMAR FROM THE M Ch C helidonura varians MARINE MOLLUSC Chelidonura Mart ta Pérez z,, Carlos Urda, Urdaa,, Rog Rogelio gelio Fernández Fernández, z,, Carlos dde Eguilior, Santiago Marta Pérez, Buenoo and Carmen Cuevas R&D R& D Area, Area, PharmaMar PharmaMar S.A.U., S.A.U., P.

P. galeata and G. splendidum are examples of toxic species very frequently found in Sao Paulo´s reservoirs, the most densely populated area in Brazil. During the search for bioactive substances from strains maintained in the Cyanobacteria Culture Collection of the Institute of Botany, Sao Paulo, Brazil, the acetic acid extracts (AE) of CCIBt-3082 - P. galeata and CCIBt-3223 - G. splendidum showed toxicity in mouse bioassay (v.o.). P. galeata AE didn’t cause deaths at a 1 g.kg-1, but induced symptoms: eyebrow ptosis, straub tail and pain. After one week the euthanized animals presented hemorrhage in the liver. Histology showed: disorganization of the hepatic parenchyma, necrosis, loss of vein endothelium, hyperemia; alterations in the kidneys’ convoluted tubules; lungs were unaffected. G. splendidum AE induced dyspnea, paralysis and pain at 0.5, 1 and 2 g.kg-1 doses, and one death at 0.5 g.kg-1. Necropsy of euthanized mice showed hemorrhage in the lungs, kidneys and liver. The lungs presented hemorrhagic focuses, edema, alveolar collapse and hyperplasia (macrophages). Damage in kidneys and liver were similar to P. galeata extract administration, but inflammatory cells were also observed. Further analysis of both extracts indicated absence of microcystins and saxitoxins, absence of haemolytic activity, and presence of two unknown anti-AChE substances in G. splendidum AE. Thus, P. galeata and G. splendidum are producers of new toxins that affect mammals when administrated orally.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Marine organisms are being studied for finding compounds with uses on different fields (medicine, nutrition, engineering). They have been recognized as new drugs being source of bioactive compounds with biomedical and pharmacological activities. However, only few marine species have been studied; the presence or production of those metabolites in marine organisms is apparently related to evolutionary pressures occurred inside the ecosystems. Additionally, it seems to have importance in adaptive processes, such as a chemical mechanism (defensives and predation) for preventing infections by pathogens, invertebrate’s settlement, or for avoiding being eaten or removed. Marine sponges are consumed by mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms, fish and turtles. In addition, sponges are important as microhabitats of bacteria, algae and other invertebrates, with camouflage strategies. The purpose of this investigation is finding a possible ecological and pharmacological function connection in terms of compounds identified in marine sponges. A literature-based review and the analysis about both processes were made. As a result, the ecological processes could be related to the production of identified compounds as metabolite sources with important biological activities, as immunodulatory, antifungical, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antiviral, and others. Additionally, though more than 5500 metabolites have been reported since 1950, and that the marine ecological chemistry has matured during the last two decades, the interest in developing biological studies to discover roles of those metabolites is still poor. Therefore, ecological studies for knowing physiology of marine organisms associated to their defense, predation or nutrition mechanisms with other potential applications that support current investigations, is deeply needed. 208 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 209 Posters Session 2 P 144 FUNDACIÓN MEDINA’S NATURAL PRODUCTS COLLECTION: INTEGRATED SOLUTION FOR INNOVATIVE MARINE DRUG DISCOVERY José R.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Based on more than fifty years of cumulative experience in the pharmaceutical industry and a worldwide collaboration with more than 20 partners, Fundación MEDINA is creating, improving and characterizing a high quality collection of natural product extracts and fractions for HTS drug discovery from marine-derived microorganisms. This precious resource will be open to worldwide collaborative discovery initiatives focused on novel therapeutic approaches and clinical development of medicinal agents. Fundación MEDINA offers an integrated solution for natural products discovery derived from a superbly diverse, laboratory-optimized and well maintained microbiological arsenal resulting in a collection thoroughly annotated with chemical and biological data. MEDINA’s Natural Products Collection of 7000 samples will cover an uncommonly unexplored broad chemical space resulting from a variety of fermentation products. Innovative semi-automated methodologies for SPE extraction and fractionation techniques have been integrated with the generation of this specific collection by using: • Marine-derived actinomycetes and fungi as source of secondary metabolites • Four fermentation media to ensure a diversity of secondary metabolite production • SPE extraction protocols to remove salts from culture media • Chromatography on highly retentive resins and reversed-phase separations • Automated procedures for the generation of a HTS compatible collection • Chemical & Biological profiling emphasizing its anti-infective properties and chemical space. 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products 209 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 210 P 145 Posters Session 2 HALOPHYTE NATURAL EXTRACTS WITH POTENTIAL USE IN TUMOR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT Maria João Rodrigues, Luisa Custódio, Luísa Barreira, Catarina Vizetto-Duarte, João Varela Centre of Marine Sciences, Universidade do Algarve - Campus de Gambelas, Ed. 7, 8005-139, Faro, Portugal. E-mail: [email protected] We screened the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties of different extracts of five halophytes species from the southern Portugal, namely Arthrocnemum macrostachyum, Plantago coronopus, Juncus acutus, Carpobrotus edulis and Atriplex halimus. Radical scavenging activity (RSA) was evaluated against 1,1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2"-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radicals. Total phenolic content (TPC) was assessed by the Folin-Ciocalteau (FC) assay. Anti-inflammatory activity was determined through the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages by the Griess method. The cytotoxicity of the extracts against HepG2 and THP1 cells was estimated by the [(3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] (MTT) assay, and the results were compared with the S17 non-tumor cells. Induction of apoptosis was assessed by 4",6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining. The highest RSA was observed in C. edulis methanol and the J. acutus ether extracts against the DPPH•; and J. acutus ether and A. halimus ether extracts against the ABTS•+. Methanol extracts of C. edulis and P. coronopus, and the ether extract of J. acutus had the highest TPC. The A. halimus chloroform and P. coronopus hexane extracts displayed antiinflammatory activity. The ether extract of J. acutus selectively reduced the viability of HepG2 cells, with a selectivity index (SI) of 7.4, when compared with non-tumor cells. Cell death was associated with apoptosis.

Drug therapy alternatives presents drawbacks like side effect and lately resistance, and the problem is aggravated because the latest antiparasitic drug was developed 40 years ago. Research must be done in order to find antiparasitic candidates for development. Sea cucumber has been shown to be a source of bioactive molecules such as antifungal, cytotoxic, anti-arteriosclerotic, antioxidant and other properties. We embarked in a bioassay guide study of sea cucumber presented in the Yucatan Peninsula as a source of antiprotozoal agents. Four different sea cucumber; Holothuria grisea, H. floridana, Astichopus multifidus, and Isostichopus badionotunus were collected and identified by macroscopic features and by examination of the skeletal ossicles of their body wall. Twenty adult organisms of each sea cucumber were eviscerated in order to remove the Cuvier tubules, chopped, lyophilized and extracted with methanol. Crude extract were separated by liquid-liquid extraction, followed by normal phase vacuum liquid chromatography, then SPE using C18 cartridge, and finally with reverse phase LC-MS (dereplication studies). All the fractions were evaluated in Artemia salina lethality test, and antiprotozoal subcultered bioassay over G. intestinalis and T. vaginalis.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 In the course of investigations on marine-derived toxigenic fungi, five strains of Trichoderma atroviride were studied for their production of peptaibiotics. While the five strains were found to produce classical 19 -residue peptaibols, three of them exhibited unusual peptidic sodium-adduct [M+2Na]2+ ions at m/z between 824 and 854. These peptaibiotics, obtained as microheterogeneous mixtures after a chromatographic fractionation, were identified by consecutive mass spectrometry fragmentations in ESIMSn. Twenty-nine sequences were identified, belonging to two series of unprecedented 17-residue peptaibiotics based on the model Ac-XXX-Ala-Ala-XXX-XXX-Gln-Aib-AibAib-Ala/Ser-Lxx-Aib-Pro-XXX-Aib-Lxx-[C129]. All sequences were characterized by a constant peculiar residue in C-terminal position, displaying a mass of 129 Da. Elemental formula C5H9N2O2 of the [C129] residue was established by HRMS and could correspond to the cyclized form of Nd-hydroxyornithine, which has already been observed at the C-terminus of various peptidic siderophores. Further studies are conducted in order to confirm the structure hypothesis of the [C129] residue. Comparison of the sequences for 17- and 19-residue peptides showed similarities for amino acids in positions 1 to 16, suggesting a common biosynthesis pathway. Both new 17-residue peptaibiotics and 19-residue peptaibols exhibited in vitro cytotoxicity against KB cells. 216 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 217 Posters Session 2 P 152 TOWARD THE TARGETED ISOLATION OF MARINE HALOGENATED COMPOUNDS USING THE MEHALOCOA METABOLOMIC TOOL Catherine Roullier, Yann Guitton, Elodie Blanchet, Marieke Vansteelandt, Marie Geiger, Yves-François Pouchus, Olivier Grovel University of Nantes, Faculty of Pharmacy, 9, Rue Bias, 44035, Nantes, France. E-mail: [email protected] Numerous halogenated natural compounds have been described from all natural sources. They are considered as biologically important and could play an interesting role as lead compounds for drug discovery [1]. Despite the abundance of chlorine in the marine environment, only nine compounds from marine -derived Penicillium strains have been described to possess a chlorine atom in their chemical structure [2] and they all displayed biological activities such as cytotoxicity for ligerin, a chlorinated sesquiterpene which exhibited a specific antiproliferative activity against osteosarcoma cell lines and in vivo antitumor activity [3]. In the course of our ongoing research on bioactive fungal metabolites, investigating marine -derived Penicillium strains by LCHRMS/MS for new halogenated compounds appeared to be of great interest. In order to simplify the data treatment and to fasten discoveries of natural halogenated compounds, several addons for R XCMS were developed, such as the MeHaloCoA (Marine Halogenated Compounds Analysis) metabolomic tool. All those R scripts were then validated on chlorinated-compounds containing samples, which were analyzed on an LC-ESI-IT-ToF apparatus (Shimadzu). Combining those scripts to a dereplication approach allowed the rapid identification of new halogenated compounds from marinederived Penicillium genus and to consider their targeted isolation.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Electrospinning is a relatively simple and versatile technique for the generation of micro/nanofibers from polymeric solutions under application of high voltage electric field. Significant progress has been made in the past few years and the applications of electrospinning have spread in many fields, including the pharmaceutical sector. Electrospun micro/nanofibers are promising materials for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, wound dressings and tissue engineering scaffolds. The increasing variety of natural and synthetic polymers that can be electrospun provide researchers with a broad spectrum of tools for tailoring the mechanical and biological properties of fibers. Natural polymers are frequently selected as materials with innovative and advanced properties in the biomedical field due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. The wide spectrum of bioactivities exhibited by marine polysaccharides renders them ideal biomaterials for the development of novel systems for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. In the context of our continuous investigations towards the exploitation of bioactive marine metabolites we turned our attention to polysaccharides from algae. A number of marine polysaccharides including ulvans, alginates, agarose, and carrageenans from various algal species were extracted, purified and electrospun in fibers. Experimenting with blends of marine polysaccharides and other biodegradable polymers, such as chitosan, PEO, PCL, PVA and cellulose acetate at different ratios and solvent systems under a variety of experimental conditions (applied voltage, polymer flow rate, distance to collector, etc.) allowed for the successful production of micro and nanofibers of variable sizes and morphologies as evidenced by SEM analyses. 218 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 219 Posters Session 2 P 154 METABOLIC PROFILING OF Laurencia EXTRACTS FOR THE RAPID DEREPLICATION AND DISCOVERY OF NEW NATURAL PRODUCTS Katerina Kokkotou1,2, Marianna Nomikou1, Florian Pitterl2, Ariadni Vonaparti2, Eleni Siapi2, Maria Zervou2, Efstathia Ioannou1, Vassilios Roussis1 1 University of Athens, School of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmacognosy and Chemistry of Natural Products, Panepistimiopolis Zografou, Athens 15771, Greece. 2National Hellenic Research Foundation, Institute of Biology, Medicinal Chemistry and Biotechnology, Division of Organic and Medicinal Chemistry, 48 Vassileos Constantinou Ave., Athens 11635, Greece. E-mail: [email protected] The cosmopolitan genus Laurencia represents an endless source of secondary metabolites exhibiting a wide range of biological activities and thus it has been the subject of intense research during the last decades. As a consequence, the need to develop a fast and reliable screening tool to detect new secondary metabolites among the pool of already isolated metabolites has emerged. In this context, the metabolic profiling of Laurencia extracts was addressed by the application of high throughput analytical techniques, namely LC-Orbitrap-MS and 2D HSQC NMR spectroscopy. An integrated platform including sophisticated software tools and databases, such as Xcalibur, ToxID, MarinLit and ACD/Labs, was developed to mine the complex analytical data for the identification of known metabolites and trace the presence of new natural products. In addition, an ‘in house’ database incorporating NMR data from the relevant literature, as well as an LC-MS library of algal metabolites isolated in our laboratory have been implemented. Application of this screening approach to an extract of Laurencia specimen collected in Kefalonia island led to the identification of ten previously reported metabolites and the detection of two new natural products. Subsequently, phytochemical analysis confirmed these results and led to the isolation and structure elucidation of two new bromoallene acetogenins. These results point out the potential of the direct screening of crude algal extracts in order to detect new compounds, trace biomarkers and /or monitor the presence of known bioactive metabolites.

Nonetheless, molecular data describing the microbial species present and their interactions are still limited. Laurencia is a genus of red algae that occurs worldwide and is recognized as an important source of bioactive secondary metabolites, mainly halogenated sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes and C15 acetogenins. In order to characterize these complex interactions and the produced terpenes, total RNA was prepared from L. microcladia specimens and sequenced by Illumina sequencing. 309,845 EST contigs of 167 bases mean length were assembled and used for the construction of 40,746 Unigenes of 473 bases mean length. For the identification of the associated microorganisms, BLAST searches against the 16S and nr databases were performed. Results indicated a high number of sequences presenting similarity with bacterial and unicellular organisms. Posters Session 2 To illuminate the terpene biosynthetic pathways of red algae, with an emphasis to the haloperoxidases, the resulted contigs were searched for halo- specific protein patterns. One 283 bp contig with similarity to haloperoxidase genes was identified. Based on this information, specific primers were designed and used in 3’-RACE experiments. Sequence analysis of the isolated fragments identified four clones of 724 bp with similarity to PAP2 haloperoxidase-like subfamily sequences. Further experiments aiming to isolate the full length gene are underway.

Bioactive metabolites, by nature, play specific functional roles in mollusc behaviour and their synthesis can be quite temporal and behaviour driven. In order to better understand the origin and biosynthetic activity of bioactive brominated indoles and choline esters from Australian muricid, Dicathais orbita, we employed surface assisted mass spectrometry imaging. Desorption / ionization on porous silicon (DIOS) and nano-assisted laser desorption / ionization (NALDI) provided alternative functionalized scaffolds to spatially analyze the two classes of low molecular weight compounds, without suppression of interfering matrix signals. DIOS and NALDI imaging were able to successfully capture the in situ distribution of metabolites from frozen fresh tissue sections. DIOS is also being applied to investigate the temporal patterns of metabolite biosynthesis, in particular, sex specific differences and maternally derived compounds associated with larval development. Locating the site of metabolite biosynthesis has contributed to our understanding of their ecological relevance and hopefully will contribute to their development as potential medicinal compounds.

E-mail: [email protected] We have recently reported isolation and biological activity of peptide Aculaines (ACUs) from the Okinawan sponge Axynissa acureata.1 ACUs are novel ribosomal polypeptide containing long chain polyamine (LCPA) in the molecule. Three ACUs A-C, were identified thus far. The molecular mass of those compounds 6600, 5700, and 2700 were deduced from SDS-PAGE. Further analysis by MALDI-TOFMS data indicated that ACU-A and-B are reasonably homogeneous but ACU-C present as complicated mixture. Analyses of amino acid sequence of ACU-A and B indicated both share the 45amino acid peptide whose N-terminal residue was indicated, from the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding ACUs, to be tryptophan. In the Edman degradation, however, the N-terminal amino acid was not detected but the sequencing started from the second residue Tyr. Enzymatic hydrolysis of ACU-A and B afforded the N-terminal tripeptides with the LCPA-containing N-terminal residue connected with Tyr-Asn. Thus, the LCPA was shown to be attached to the N-terminal of the peptide. Further structure determination was hampered because of difficulty in analyzing the NMR spectrum for ACUs due to spectral complexity. We recently isolated, however, a new LCPA-modified tryptophan (pACU-B) form the extract. The structure of pACU-B strikingly implicated the structure of N-terminal residue for ACU-B allowing us to propose a tentative structure of ACU-B. ACUs are found to show potent hemolytic activity and disrupt cell membrane. Here we discuss recent progress in chemical and biological investigation of the aculeines.

Department of Genetics and Microbiology, University of Murcia, Murcia 30100, Spain E-mail: [email protected] Marine bacteria constitute an enormous reservoir of biological diversity as revealed by metagenomic studies. The marine gammaproteobacterium Marinomonas mediterranea synthesizes LodA, a novel L-lysine- -oxidase. LodA is the first L-amino acid oxidase described that does not oxidize the amino acid in the alpha position. An additional difference is that LodA is not a flavoprotein, but contains a quinonic cofactor. LodA is encoded by the lod operon containing the lodA gene plus a second gene, lodB, encoding a protein required for LodA maturation. Posters Session 2 Genome sequencing has revealed genes encoding proteins similar to LodA in different bacteria. In some cases, lysine- -oxidase has been demonstrated. However, the actual enzymatic activity of other proteins with different levels of similarity to LodA is unknown. Genome sequencing of M. mediterranea revealed two genes, Marme_2396 and Marme_1655, similar to lodA. The characterization of a M. mediterranea mutant strain with lod deletion indicated that it lacks lysine oxidase activity suggesting that those genes must encode different enzymes. In this study, it is shown that Marme_1655 encodes a novel glycine oxidase that has been named GoxA. GoxA shows important differences in terms of substrate range and sensitivity to inhibitors to other glycine oxidases previously described. Similarly to lodA, goxA forms part of an operon with a gene, goxB, homologous to lodB. These data indicate that proteins similar to M. mediterranea LodA and GoxA may constitute a reservoir of novel L-amino acid oxidases. These enzymes are of interest because of their biological activities and biotechnological applications. 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products 223 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:31 Página 224 P 159 Posters Session 2 ACTIVITY OF ISOLATED EXTRACTS FROM THE SEA ANEMONE Bunodeopsis globulifera FROM THE MEXICAN CARIBBEAN Judith Sanchez-Rodriguez, Juan Jose Dorantes-Aranda Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnologia-UNAM, , Unidad Academica de Sistemas Arrecifales, P.o.

Bunedeopsis globulifera was collected, mashed to discharge nematocysts, frozen and lyophilized. Crude extract was purified by liquid chromatography. Two fractions were separated, and activity was assessed in ghost crabs Ocypode quadrata, and parasites Giardia intestinalis and Trichomonas sp. Phospholipase activity was measured using chicken egg yolk. Protein concentrations for crude extract, fraction 1 and 2 were 118, 223 and 30 μg mL-1, respectively. Protein sizes in crude extract ranged between 15 and 150 kDa fraction 1 from 15 to 250 kDa and fraction 2 from 25 to 100 kDa. Ghost crabs did not exhibit lethal effects when injected with fractions 1 or 2 at 5 mg mL-1. However, they did show lethal effects at 60 mg mL-1, including hemorrhage (crude extract and fraction 1), shaking and paralysis (crude extract and fraction 2), with death occurring within 6-11 min post-injection. Fraction 1 had the highest effect on parasites Giardia intestinalis and Trichomonas sp., with 62 and 68.5% loss of viability, respectively, at 100 μg mL-1, and showed 11-43% loss of viability after exposure to crude extract and fraction 2. Fractions 1 and 2 had similar phospholipase activity (Pz=0.19 at 48 hrs), whereas crude extract phospholipase activity was almost two fold (Pz=0.35). Two fractions were separated from the crude extract, showing phospholipase activity on egg yolk, and lethal effects on ghost crabs and parasites.

E-mail: [email protected] Didemnin B is a cytotoxic peptide isolated from the Caribbean tunicate Trididemnum solidum by Rinehart in 1981. This compound showed significant in vivo antitumor activity, but clinical trials were discontinued because of uncontrolled toxic effects. Some years later, dehydrodidemnin B (Plitidepsin, Aplidin) was isolated from the Mediterranean tunicate Aplidium albicans by PharmaMar researchers. Aplidin is being developed by PharmaMar as a new oncology medicine and is currently in Phase III clinical trials. The drug substance is manufactured by total chemical synthesis. Surprisingly, two years ago at PharmaMar, bacterial didmenins B, nordidemnin B, didemnin X and didemnin Y were all isolated from cultures of the á-proteobacteria Tistrella mobilis. This bacteria was isolated from a sedentary polychaete collected in the Indian Ocean. More recently, another T. mobilis didemnin producer has been isolated from a sponge from the same geographic area. Simultaneously to our experimentation, M. Tsukimoto published in 2011 bacterial production of didemnin B from T. mobilis isolated from sediments collected in Japan1 and in 2012 Y. Xu also described didemnin production from T. mobilis and T. bauzanensis in addition to a putative biosynthesis and characterization of a hybrid NRPS/PKS gene cluster located in a plasmid.2 We have analyzed the kinetics of production, as a function of the fermentation conditions and identified improved media. The fact that these are free living bacteria and a knowledge of the didemnin gene cluster opens the possibility of conducting gene modification to deflect the biosynthetic pathway to produce plitidepsin.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 A major problem for Natural Product Drug Discovery programmes is to avoid rediscovering already known compounds, especially since developing and scaling-up microorganism cultures, extraction, compound isolation and structure elucidation are all very time and resource intensive activities. During microbial antitumor drug discovery at PharmaMar, the analysis of more than 2600 active marine Actinomycetes by HPLC-mass spectrometry and dereplication against our own database of cytotoxic compounds has identified a number of such cases of redundancy. Using an internal criteria based on identification of microbial species which all the strains (more than 10) produce the same compounds, bioactive species have been dropped directly for drug discovery without the need to cultivate. Such so-called predictable species could be clear cases of the vertical transmission of genes. Following this approach, currently 34 predictable species have been discarded as sure producers of Actinomycins, antimycins, bafilomycins, staurosporine, echinomycin, fluvirucins, geldanamycin, hygrolidins, piericidins, ikarugomycin, levorins and rakicidins. This approach allows us to select the strains most likely to produce novel compounds and hence improve the efficiency and success of our Drug Discovery Process. 226 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:32 Página 227 Posters Session 2 P 162 NATURAL INDUCERS FOR LARVAL METAMORPHOSIS IN SCLERACTINIAN CORALS Peter J.

Germany E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Many benthic marine invertebrates, including corals, disperse among the plankton before settlement and metamorphosis. Finding a suitable habitat is especially important for larvae of sessile marine invertebrates that upon settlement cannot respond to changes in environmental conditions by moving to a more favorable environment. The ability of larvae to detect habitat-specific cues has been recognized in a range of phyla, but until recently, only a few studies identified the chemical structure of compounds involved in larval settlement and metamorphosis. This study was aimed at identifying compounds involved in the metamorphosis and settlement of scleractinian coral larvae. When various chemical extracts of different crustose coralline algae (CCA) from Guam were tested, only extract of Hydrolithion sp. resulted in high settlement rates. Bioguide fractionation of the Hydrolithion extract (e.g. Hydrolithion itself and the associated biofilms) revealed luminaolide to be a metamorphosis-enhancing macrodiolide, which enhanced the larval metamorphosis of several coral larvae (Acropora surculosa, Acropora globiceps, Leptastrea purpurea), indicating an unspecific metamorphosis enhancer. Further experiments testing the involvement of CCA biofilms, as well as biofilms from inert surfaces (e.g. tiles, bleached CCA), revealed that biofilms on Hydrolithion and biofilms on certain inert surfaces more than three weeks old repeatedly induced settlement in L. purpurea and Acropora larvae. Continued studies lead also to the isolation of two settlement inducing bacteria (Pseudoalteromonas sp.), from which 2 settlement and metamorphosis inducing compounds have been isolated. Their structure elucidation is currently under way. 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products 227 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:32 Página 228 P 163 Posters Session 2 STUDIES S TUDIES TOWARD TOWARD THE THE TOTAL TO OTAL S SYNTHESIS YNTHESIS O OF FP PISCIBACTIN ISCIBACTIN A AND ND P PREREPISCIBACTIN PISCIBACTIN Y uri S egade g e,, M Marcos ar a cos A.

Marine members of the genus Lyngbya (recently reclassified as Moorea) continue to provide a structurally diverse array of compounds with different bioactivities including peptides, macrolides and malyngamides. Bioassay-directed fractionation of a Red Sea cyanobacterium Morea producens afforded two new compounds together with several previously reported ones. The structures of the compounds were identified by extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies as well as high-resolution mass spectral determination. Furthermore, different biological activities of the compounds will be presented. 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products 229 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:32 Página 230 P 165 Posters Session 2 BIOACTIVE SECONDARY METABOLITES FROM MARINE Bacillus spp Hee Jae Shin, Fakir S.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Marine sponges are not only exceptionally rich in natural products, as also exhibit an interesting extracellular matrix with fascinating morphologies and composition, being mostly collagen and biosilica or calcium carbonate. Inspired by such features, SPECIAL project has been established aiming at delivering breakthrough technologies for the biotechnological production of cellular metabolites and extracellular biomaterials from marine sponges. These include a platform technology to produce secondary metabolites from a wide range of sponge species, which screening of biological activity is focus in antitumoral bioactivity. Moreover, a novel in vitro method for the production of biosilica is also pursued, as well as production of marine sponge collagen through recombinant technology or extraction from maricultured biomass. These exciting extracellular biomaterials motivate the development of porous structures to be used as scaffolds for human tissue regeneration, following three complementary strategies. First, collagen has been extracted from marine sponges and further processed as porous structures by freeze-drying methodology. In parallel, marine sponges have been extracted with water and ethanol and further treated with supercritical carbon dioxide to remove salts and possible toxic compounds but also to decellularize the sponge tissues, thus rendering a porous matrix composed of collagen. Regarding bioceramics, sponges have been calcinated in order to obtain a silica-based porous structure, which exhibits a bioactive behaviour. All the developed porous structures - scaffolds - can support the in vitro culture and proliferation of cells aiming tissue regeneration. 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products 231 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:32 Página 232 Posters Session 2 232 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Posters Session 2 P 167 Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:32 Página 233 Posters Session 2 P 168 DIFFERENCE IN THE PRODUCTION OF SECONDARY METABOLITES BY Salinispora arenicola SUBJECTED TO DIFFERENT CULTURE CONDITIONS Dulce Guillén-Matus1, Amayaly Becerril-Espinosa1, Ana Ma.

E-mail: [email protected] Recent studies have revealed that genus Salinispora is a select group of marine actinomycetes, considered the first forced marine genus and is characterized by producing new secondary metabolites with unique chemical structures that possessing antitumor, antiviral and immunosuppressive activities. In order to obtain information to assist the development of new farming methods and technologies that allows access to novel chemical compounds with biomedical application and additionally to understand the complex adaptations that have this action bacteria genus in the environment, in this research we analyzed the production of secondary metabolites from two bioactive Salinispora arenicola strain (AMS300 and AMS22) isolated from sediments of the Gulf of Californian México. Strains were subjected to 10 different culture conditions enriched with oat and A1 media and variation of pH from 5.5, 6.7, 7.2, 8.5 and 11. The compounds produced from the fifth to the tenth day, were monitored by molecular weight using a liquid chromatography with mass detector. A correlation between secondary metabolite production and variants considered was found. Differences in secondary metabolite production between strains and an effect on the production of these compounds caused by pH and culture media were found, indicating a complex ecological adaptation for Salinispora arenicola. Most of the compounds obtained are unknown, indicating that the strains of the AMS22 and AMS300 strains should be a source of new biologically active compounds. References: 2. 3.

For that reason, the development of effective methods to solve stereochemical problems has recently taken the limelight. In this context, new techniques based in NMR spectroscopy and/or modern computational calculations are paying off. Recently, we presented a simple and efficient spin-spin coupling constant approach for the challenging stereochemical analysis of five–membered rings.1 Here we report the application to this method to achieve the relative assignment of five new C15 tetrahydrofuranyl-acetogenins isolated from the red alga Laurencia marilzae GilRodríguez, Sentíes et M.

Fernández-Llamazares1, Fernando Albericio2 2 1 IRB Barcelona, Baldiri Reixac 10, 08028, Barcelona, Spain. University of Barcelona, Department of Organic Chemistry, Barcelona, 08028, Spain E-mail: [email protected] Backbone N-methyl groups are found as constituents in many naturally occurring bioactive peptides. Furthermore, the incorporation of N-methyl groups is an established tool to improve pharmacological parameters of therapeutic peptides, and has also been applied to enhance the activity and receptor selectivity of peptide ligands as a result of conformational modulation. We have investigated backbone amide groups as sites for structural modification. For two model cyclic peptides, the effect of replacing N-methyl groups for other chemical moieties was studied. On the example the peptide analog of Sansalvamide A, a cyclodepsipeptide isolated from a marine organism [1], an N-triethylene glycol chain (N-TEG) was incorporated at the different backbone positions with the aim of modifying its physicochemical properties. On the example of Cilengitide [2], an RGDcyclopeptide developed as a highly active and selective V3-integrin ligand; its Nmethyl group was replaced for an N-(4-azidobutyl) group, which allowed for the efficient conjugation of PEG through several chemical transformations. In both model peptides, replacement of an N-Me by either the NTEG chain or the N-azidobutyl linker provided a minimal impact on the original backbone conformation. With these preliminary studies, we want to disclose the utility of the backbone amide groups as sites for structural modification. As the synthesis of N-modified peptides involved the acylation of N-alkyl residues, we want to discuss strategies to overcome the inefficiency of such sterically demanding coupling steps.

As relatively fewer works have been reported on the metabolites of organisms in this zone, we started to collect specimens of this area in 2005 and keep on working on the material for unique bioactive molecules.1-3 An extract of the brilliant red bryozoa Calyptotheca sp. collected from Okinawa Is. showed cytotoxicity against cultured cells. After isolation followed by spectroscopic analysis and chemical modifications, we elucidated that the structures of active principles are sodium salt of a steroid sulfate and its analogue. We previously reported a series of spongian diterpenes from the sponge Dysidea cf. arenaria collected from Okinawa Is.4 Another collection of the same species from Irabu Is., 300 km west of Okinawa Is., furnished a different set of spongian diterpenes suggesting geographic variation. From a soft unidentified sponge collected from Iriomote Is., 450 km southwest of Okinawa Is., we isolated a cytotoxic diterpene having an endoperoxide. We will present isolation, structure elucidation, and bioassay results on the above new and related compounds. References 1. 2. Posters Session 2 3. 4.

E-mail: [email protected] Hepatitis C is a chronic liver disease developing into fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. To treat the causative agent hepatitis C virus (HCV), a combined medication with pegylated interferon-alpha and ribavirin is administered often with newly introduced protease inhibitor telaprevir or boceprevir. However, due to the side effects and ineffectiveness of the current therapy against several viral genotypes in addition to enormous number of infected people in the world, there still is a demand to supply new drug leads against HCV. In our collaborative efforts to find antiviral molecules, we use two screening strategies: enzyme assay against HCV NS3 helicase using photo-induced electron transfer (PET) or FRET and replicon assay by replacing a part of the viral genome with a reporter gene. As results, we found a number of hit extracts from coral reef organisms with PET assay and characterized the mode of action of manoalide,1 psammaplin A,2 cholesterol sulfate,3 and other phenol or sulfate molecules. On the other hand, we detected chlorophyllone and another molecule with replicon assay. We will present our screening results, identification of the molecules, and the mode of action of the hit molecules. References Salam, K.A. et al. J. Nat. Prod. 2012, 75, 650-654. Salam, K.A. et al.

In the present study we wanted to improve the activity shown by the natural cembranoids via the preparation of synthetic analogues. Thus, we selected six leads compounds,3 which showed antifouling activity, high concentration in the octocorals source and reactive functional groups in their structures. The cembranoids were then subjected to several fast, reproducible, and high yield regioselective reactions, grouped as: epoxide ring opening, oxidations, treatment with iodine, photochemical reactions, methylations and acetylations, and synthesis of cyclic hemiketals, to finally obtain thirty four analogues.3 The stereostructures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, by the NOESY experiments and by means of the modified Mosher method. The analogues obtained through the selected chemical transformations were tested against the mentioned antifouling assays.3 Half of the analogues assayed showed superior QSI and biofilm inhibition activity to the lead compounds, without interfering in the bacterial growth; three cembranoids ((-)-(1R,2S,7R,3E,8E,11E)-18Acetoxycembra-3,8,11,15(17)-tetraen-2,7-diol,(-)-(1S,7R,3E,8E,11E)-18Acetoxycembra-3,8,11,15(17)-tetraen-7-ol, and (-)-(1R,2S,7R,3E,8E,11E)-2,18Diacetoxycembra-3,8,11,15(17)-tetraen-7-ol) displayed remarkable potency up to three times higher than the natural compounds and was established that the presence of an electronegative group in C-7 and an E-double bond in C-8,9 were responsible for the activity. In conclusion, we have synthesized a pool of cembranoids that can be used as antifouling agents.3,4 1. 2. 3. 4.

Asparagopsis taxiformis (Rhodophyta, Bonnemaisoniaceae) has been shown to produce numerous Halogenated Volatile Organic Compounds (HVOCs), with 1 to 4 carbons. While this alga is suspected to expand worldwide, we implemented a research program that aims at understanding the role of this secondary metabolome in marine ecosystems.1 At first, chemical investigations were performed on A. taxiformis gametophyte stages coming from the Indian Ocean. Unexpectedly, these studies revealed two original and highly brominated cyclic metabolites 1 and 2. Structure elucidations of 1 and 2 were achieved using spectroscopic methods including NMR and GCMS. We will discuss biosynthetic hypotheses that might lead to these original 2,3dibromocyclopentenones. Then, as a first assessment of their role in the environment, we assessed their biological activities using a standardized ecotoxicological assay.

E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 The extension, localization and ecological aspects of the Brazilian coastal zone make it a remarkable reservoir of compounds with pharmacological potential. This is particularly interesting in the case of insular regions, such as oceanic islands and archipelagos. Marine bacteria have shown to be an attractive source of structurally diversified bioactive secondary metabolites. This study focused on the chemical characterization and cytotoxic evaluation of the extracts produced from bacteria isolated from sediment samples collected at the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago (SPSPA), a group of 15 rocky islets located in the central equatorial Atlantic Ocean. A preliminary investigation of ninety-three extracts obtained from marine bacteria strains have been evaluated for their cytotoxic properties. Of those, twenty-three were considered active, with IC50 values ranging from 0.04 to 20.5 μg/mL. The HR-LCMS dereplication analysis combined with the AntiMarin database of the twenty-three active extracts showed the occurrence of several know anticancer compounds, such as: staurosporine derivatives, piericidin A, salinosporamycin A, obyanamide, deoxytrichodermadiene, dechlororoseophilin, chaetongilin, ceratodictyo, toxin B, penicidone B and, saliniketal A and B. It is worthy to point out that saliniketals A and B, until now isolated only from Salinispora arenicola, was identified in fourteen strains, being five of them S. arenicola. The other active extracts, to which no known compounds were detected through the AntiMarin survey, are currently under chemical investigation in order to find new active compounds. References 1.

E-mail: [email protected] Marine sponges, as sessile filter feeders, produce a astonishing diversity of secondary metabolites. Many of these compounds are potential new drugs against important diseases like cancer but also bacterial, viral or parasitic infections. To better address the supply issues of these important natural products more attention should be paid towards the full description of their secondary metabolome but also to the corresponding metabolic pathways. The marine sponge Haliclona (Rhizoniera) sarai [1], belonging to the order Haplosclerida, is only encountered in some Northwestern Mediterranean caves or deep sea habitats. This sponge has attracted the interest of the chemists because the ability to contain 3-alkylpydinium derivatives and the chemically-related alkaloids named saraines. Several biological studies evidenced important pharmacological applications of these compounds like antibacterial and antiviral potential [2-4]. In the frame of our ongoing investigation on sponge metabolites and secondary metabolic pathways, we started investigating the full metabolome of this sponge in order to identify possible precursors of the saraines. This preliminary chemical study led to the isolation of new derivatives that may represent putative precursors of saraines. Here we present the results of these studies together with the preliminary feeding experiments with stable and radioactive labeled precursors of 3-alkylpyridines [5].

E-mail: [email protected] Pasteurellosis, caused by the fish pathogen Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida, is considered one of the bacterial fish diseases with greatest economic impact.1 Our group has previously identified and characterized a subset of genes from P. damselae subsp. piscicida involved in virulence for fish. Most of these genes encode proteins involved in the synthesis of the siderophore piscibactin. In addition, these studies led to the identification of protein FrpA as the piscibactin outer membrane receptor. Later genetic comparative studies and chemical analysis performed by our group resulted in the structural characterization of the complex piscibactin-Ga(III).2 In this communication, we want to present our advances pursuing the structural analysis of the complex FrpA - piscibactin-Fe (III) by means of X-ray crystallography. To this end, we have constructed an arabinose-inducible overexpression plasmid by overlapextension PCR cloning. This vector contains the predicted sequence of the mature FrpA protein preceded by the pelB targeting peptide and a 10-His sequence. We expect that the fusion protein can be correctly targeted to the outer membrane of E. coli cells from where it can be easily purified by affinity chromatography. Obtaining a detailed picture of the interaction between piscibactin-Fe(III) and its receptor protein FrpA, it will provide the kind of knowledge necessary for the rational design of piscibactin conjugates which can serve as new-generation antibacterials against pasteurellosis.

E-mail:[email protected] Posters Session 2 Metabolomic methods can be utilised to screen diverse biological systems for potentially novel and sustainable sources of antibiotics and pharmacologically-active drugs. Marine sponges and their endosymbionts have proven to be abundant sources of bioactive compounds. HR-LCFTMS and NMR were used in the identification of compounds isolated from a bacteria and its host sponge, as well as in the dereplication and metabolic profiling of other sponge-associated bacteria. 24-methylenecholesterol and two novel steroids, all significantly active against Trypanosoma brucei, were isolated from the Irish Sea sponge Haliclona simulans. Extracts from Streptomyces sp. isolated from H. simulans demonstrate anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities. HR-LCFTMS assisted in identifying antimycins as the anti-fungal compounds. NMR and HR-LCFTMS were applied to the dereplication of extracts from bacteria from Mediterranean sponges. EG4 was selected and its cultivation optimised from small scale to larger scale production, under different media conditions, with the aid of metabolomic methods and multivariate analysis to identify and trace biomarkers. Metabolomics has become a powerful tool in systems biology which allows us to gain insights into the potential of natural marine isolates for synthesis of significant quantities of promising new agents, and allows us to manipulate the environment within fermentation systems in a rational manner to select a desired metabolome. 252 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:32 Página 253 Posters Session 2 P 188 EXPLORING THE NATURAL PRODUCTS OF AN ALIEN SEA CUCUMBER IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA: Synaptula reciprocans Gabriela Vinueza-Hidalgo1, Paraskevi Louizidou2, Rainer Ebel3, and Frithjof C.Küpper4 1 School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. 2 Department of Zoology Marine Biology, School of Biology, University of Athens Panepistimiopolis, Athens, Greece. 3 Marine Biodiscovery Centre, University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. 4 Oceanlab, University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK E-mail: [email protected] The Mediterranean Sea is biologically diverse, but has undergone great change since the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 1. This has led to the establishment of over 925 Red Sea species in the Mediterranean basin, also known as the Lessepsian invasion.2,3 Invasive species are considered the second most important cause of global diversity change and thus a threat impacting local biodiversity and species richness. One such Lessepsian invasive species is the Red Sea holothurian Synaptula reciprocans, which was first recorded in 1926.4 It is a species with established success and dispersal that apparently follows circulation patterns of Atlantic water masses.4,5 So far, it has been described from the coasts of Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and Greece. Given its large size and abundance in most of the areas it has colonized, it is likely to have a significant effect on the ecosystem. Its successful dispersal and establishment may be the result of a variety of defense or allelopathic mechanisms. To date, Synaptula reciprocans appears not to have been chemically studied. Our preliminary analysis of its crude methanolic extract by LC-MS did not provide any evidence for the presence of steroid or triterpene glycosides that have been reported for the related Synapta maculata.6,7 The results of our current attempts at isolating and characterizing the metabolites of Synaptulareciprocans and tests for biological activity will be reported.

First we isolated two unusual lipidic alpha-aminoacids (LAAs) from the hexane fraction, which showed high cytotoxicity against tumor cells. Further studies showed that LAAs induce apoptosis on leukemia cells (Wilke et al., 2009 and 2010). Since it was observed cytotoxicity among all the other fractions with different polarity, it is expected that there is a great diversity of active compounds to be investigated from this invertebrate. However, neither the further purification of the other fractions nor the studies on LAAs mode of action were possible once their yield were very low. To overcome this issue, currently, our efforts are focused on culturing P. variabilis associated microorganisms. Ten strains were isolated and five of them yielded cytotoxic extracts. The dereplication process of two extracts was conducted using AntiMarin database. Piericidin A, Piericidin D and Glicopiericidin A were identified as the cytotoxic agents of BRA035 extract. Piericidin A was isolated and inhibited tumor cell growth in femtomolar range. BRA060 HRMS has at least thirty compounds, six of them matched to nine cytotoxic compounds. Studies are in progress to confirm the identity of BRA060 cytotoxic agents.

Fungi that are associated with marine invertebrates or with algae are of growing importance as promising sources of structurally unprecedented biologically active natural products. In this study, 236 fungal isolates were purified from 14 different marine invertebrates mostly sponges and tunicates that had been collected from the Red Sea. The antiinfective activity of 25 fungal extracts against several pathogens was evaluated. Bioactivities against these pathogens for the most active 10 fungal isolates will be presented. These results show a high diversity of fungi associated with marine invertebrates as well as highlight their potential to produce anti-infective agents. Fungal strains with proven activities were identified to the species level using the Internal Transcribed Spacer ITS-rDNA sequences. Most of the active strains belong to the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus. 258 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 02/08/13 11:32 Página 259 Posters Session 2 P 194 NEW DIDEMNAKETALS FROM THE RED SEA MARINE TUNICATE Didemnum SPECIES Diaa Youssef1, Jihan Badr1, Gamal Mohamed1, Lamiaa Shaala2, Faida Bamane1 2 1 King Abdulaziz University, Faculty of Pharmacy, 21589, Jeddah , Saudi Arabia King Abdulaziz University King Fahd Medical Research Center, 21589, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia E-mail: [email protected] Didemnaketals are terpenoids which have been reported from a Palauan ascidian of the Didemnum species by Faulkner’s group in 1991.1 So far, three compounds of this class, didemnaketals A-C, were reported from the same species.1,2 Later on, the absolute stereochemistry of the didemnaketals B and C was determined using a combination of degradation and derivatization experiments, chiral shift methods, and comparison of fragments to known compounds.3 Didemnaketals A and B inhibited the activity of HIV1 protease.1 Investigation of a fresh specimen of the Red Sea marine tunicate, Didemnum species afforded two new didemnaketals, D and E. The new didemnaketals differ from the reported ones in which that they lack the methyl functionality at C-6 and the hydroxyl moiety at C-21. Instead, they possess either an ether or ester moiety at C-6, in addition to new oxygen functionality at C-20 of the didemnaketals. The structure determination of the new compounds was assigned by 1D and 2D NMR studies as well as high-resolution mass spectral data. The biological activities of the compounds will be presented.

A lot of attention is intended to pyrrole-2aminoimidazole alkaloids growing family (P-2-AI), which was isolated from different sponges species and nowadays contains over 150 members. The structural simplest and smallest members of the P-2-AI family are clathrodin and its brominated derivatives oroidin and hymenidin, which are assumed to be the biosynthetic building blocks for more complex members of the P-2-AI group.1 Clathrodin was first isolated from sponges Agelas clathrodes in 1991 and in the biological test exhibited a broad spectrum of bioactivity, where the blockade of voltage-gated sodium channels was the most expressed. On isolated cells from the symphathetic ganglia of chicken embroys clathrodin showed a blockade of voltage-gated sodium channels in the micromolar range.2,3 Our purpose was to prepare clathrodin and evaluated on isolated voltage-gated sodium channels and other targets. So far, two different total synthesis for clathrodin have been published.4,5 We manage to prepare clathrodin by synthetic pathway which is simple, green, scalable and has ability to produce oroidin, hymenidin and a set of clatrodin’s derivatives. In the context of the research work the reactivity of double bond in structure of clathrodin was also examined. NMR, HPLC, LC-MS analysis proved that the presence of double bound in the structure contributes to the instability of clathrodin in various solvents.

PharmaMar SAU, Av. Los Reyes, 1 .ES-28770, Colmenar (Madrid). Spain E-mail: [email protected] Posters Session 2 Drug discovery at PharmaMar to find new antitumoral microbial metabolites involves, among other innovative technologies, selective marine sampling for the isolation of rare actinobacteria. The unusual habitat generated by bio-deposits of marine mussel cultures which produce organic matter rich in C, N and S with traces of Cr, Cu, Fe, and Pb is expected to be an extraordinarily rich source of new microorganisms, notably actinomycetes which are theoretically very abundant in high content organic sediments. Samples collected by scuba diving in the Ria of Pontevedra, were homogenized and seeded on selective enriched media to target the growth of actinomycetales. DNA was extracted from pure colonies using REP-PCR for molecular dereplication and partial 16S rRNA sequencing for taxonomy. All the unique strains were preserved in the PharmaMar library of microorganisms. A total of 676 strains were isolated from 8 sediment samples, corresponding to 179 Actinobacteria species belonging to 26 genera assigned to a half of the 14 known Actinomycetales suborders: Corynebacterineae, Glycomycineae, Micrococcineae, Micromonosporineae, Propionibacterineae, Streptomycineae and Streptosporangineae. Although the vast majority belonged to the genus Streptomyces, a Salinibacterium strain was also isolated. This rare genus has been described as a bacteria associated with cold oceans (Artic and Antarctic). Specifically, the isolation of S. amurskyense has only been described in Amursky Bay (East Sea). In addition, we also found two candidates for possible new species of the Arcobacter and the Glycomyces genera. These results demonstrate that the isolation protocols used by PharmaMar for targeting actinobacteria in Ria Pontevedra are capable of finding unusual new biodiversity. 264 14th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products / 8th European Conference on Marine Natural Products Interior POSTERS 2:Abstracts 18/08/13 22:44 Página 265 Posters Session 2 P 200 PROKARYOTIC M PROKARYOTIC MOLECULAR OLECULAR A ACTIVITY CTIVITY P PROFILING ROFILING (PROMAP (PROMAP)) A AS SA PLATFORM FOR THE DISCOVERY OF NOVEL NATURAL PRODUCT P L TFORM F LA OR TH ED ISCOVER RY O FN OVEL LN ATURAL P RODUCT A NTIBIOTICS ANTIBIOTICS W eng Ru hW on o g1, Allen Alllen G.
