Cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of two new sesquiterpenoids from red sea brittle star Ophiocoma dentata
2022
Overview
Bioactive compounds were extracted from a locally available brittle star;
Ophiocoma dentata
, collected from the Red Sea, Egypt. Two new sesquiterpenoids; 8, 11-epoxy-9(15)-himachaladiene-4-ol (O8-ophiocomane) and, 11-epoxy-9(15)-himachaladiene-4-ol (O7-ophiocomane) were isolated and characterized using appropriate techniques. Structure elucidation was estimated via 1D NMR, 2D NMR, FT-IR and mass spectroscopy analyses. The isolated compounds were tested for cytotoxic, antibacterial and antifungal activities. Pure compounds showed a dose dependent reduction in MCF-7 cells viability with LC50 of 103.5 and 59.5 μg/ml for compounds 1 and 2 respectively compared to the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin (47.4 µg/ml). In vivo experiments showed that
O. dentate
extract significantly reduced tumor progression and improved hematological parameters and liver functions of tumor-bearing mice when administered either before or after tumor cells’ injection. The most remarkable antimicrobial effects of
O. dentate
crude extract were against
Staphylococcus aureus
,
Vibrio damsela
and
Pseudomonas
aeruginosa
while the pure compounds showed activity against
P. aeruginosa
alone. Neither the crude extract nor the pure compounds have shown activity against
Aeromonas hydrophila
. These results indicates that
O. dentata
extract and newly isolated compounds have shown a promising cytotoxic, antiproliferative and antimicrobial activities that might be useful for pharmaceutical applications.
