Abstract

A new brominated pyrrolactam stylissaol A (1) together with four known analogues, 2-bromoaldisine, aldisine, spongiacidin D, and Z-hymenialdisine, were isolated from the EtOAc extract of marine sponge Stylissa massa collected in Myanmar. The absolute configuration at C-10 of 1 was determined as R by the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data. Among the isolated compounds, 2-bromoaldisine showed anti-Viral Protein R (Vpr) activity against TREx-HeLa-Vpr cells with an effective dose of 10 μM and its potency was comparable to that of positive control damnacanthal.
