Abstract

Kohamamides A, B, and C (1-3), new cyclic depsipeptides that belong to the kulolide superfamily, were isolated from an Okeania sp. marine cyanobacterium. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses and degradation reactions. Kohamamide B (2) exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against HL60 cells. Although many natural products in the kulolide superfamily have been isolated from cyanobacteria collected in various parts of the world, kohamamides 1-3 are the first members to be isolated from the East Asian marine environment. In addition, unlike other members of this superfamily, kohamamides 1-3 contain a Leu residue adjacent to the Pro residue, rather than another lipophilic amino acid.
