EntuziastoV, 38, Moscow 111123, Russian Federation ReceiVed July 1, 2007 Eight new triterpene glycosides, erylosides R (1), S (2), T (3), U (4), F5-F7 (5–7), and V (8), were isolated from the sponge Erylus goffrilleri collected near Arresife-Seko Reef (Cuba). Structures of 1 and 2 were determined as the corresponding monosides having aglycons related to penasterol with additional oxidation and methylation patterns in their side chains. Eryloside T (3) was structurally identified as the ∆7-isomer of 1, containing an unusual (14f9)lactone ring in the tetracyclic aglycon moiety, and eryloside U (4) was shown to be the 7,8-epoxide of 3. Erylosides F5-F7 (5–7) and V (8) contain new variants of carbohydrate chains with two (5–7) and three (8) sugar units, respectively. Marine sponges of the genus Erylus (order Astrophorida, family Geodidae) are a source of various saponins, erylosides, belonging to the steroidal or triterpenoid series. Erylosides derived from 4Rmethyl-5R-cholesta-8,14-dien-3β-ol or a related nortriterpenoid were isolated from Erylus lendenfeldi,1–3 and glycosides derived from penasterol or its congeners were described from E. formosus,4–7 E. nobilis,8,9 E.goffrilleri,10 and Erylus sp.11 Recently, two steroid glycosides, sokodiosides A and B, with a novel carbon skeleton were isolated from E. placenta.12 Erylosides from Erylus spp. have been reported to exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities. For example, eryloside F was discovered to possess selective thrombin receptor antagonist activity and functional activity in a platelet aggregation assay.5 Eryloside E exhibits immunopressive activity,10 and nobiloside inhibits neuraminidase from the bacterium Clostridium perfringens.9 Erylosides A, K, and L from E. lendenfeldi1–3 and sokodiosides A and B from E. placenta12 possessed antitumor and antifungal properties. In continuation of our studies on glycosides from marine sponges,7,13 we have isolated a series of new erylosides (1–8) from the ethanolic extract of the Caribbean sponge Erylus goffrilleri. We report herein the isolation and structural elucidation of eight new glycosides. Results and Discussion The ethanolic extract of the sponge was separated by lowpressure reversed-phase column chromatography on Teflon powder Polycrome-1 followed by Si gel flash column chromatography and by several rounds of reversed-phase HPLC to yield individual glycosides 1–8 as colorless, amorphous solids. The molecular formula of eryloside R (1) was determined as C38H64O9 by a pseudomolecular ion at m/z 687.4483 [M + Na]+ in HRMALDIMS and by 13C NMR analyses. A close inspection of the 1H and 13C NMR data (Tables 1, 4, and 5) of 1 by DEPT and HSQC revealed the presence of nine methyls; 11 methylenes, including one oxygen-bearing methylene; six oxygenated methines, including one methine linked to an anomeric carbon; and three tertiary and five saturated quaternary carbons. The remaining functionality, corresponding to the carbon signals at δ 178.2 (C), 139.8 (C), 127.9 (C), and 75.2 (C), suggested the presence of a carbonyl or carboxyl carbon, one tetrasubstituted double bond, and * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

The IR spectrum of 1 exhibited a characteristic band attributable to a carboxyl (1687 cm-1) group. Interpretation of the COSY data gave rise to spin systems involving one anomeric proton, four oxymethines, and protons of a hydroxymethyl group. On the basis of these data, a triterpene monoside with a tetracyclic aglycon structure was suggested for 1. The correlation observed in the COSY and HSQC spectra of the aglycon part of 1 indicated the presence of the following distinct spin systems: -CHOH-CH2-CH2-(C-3-C-1), >CH-CH2-CH2>CH-CH2-CH2(C-5-C-7), CH2-CH2-(C-11-C-12), (C-17-C-15). These partial structures were further connected to each other by HMBC correlations: H3-19/C-1, C-5, C-9, and C-10; H3-28/C-3, C-4, C-5, and C-29; H3-29/C-3, C-4, C-5, and C-28; H-6/C-8 and C-10; H-12/C-9, C-13, C-14, and C-18; H3-18/C-12, C-13, C-14, and C-17; and H-15/C-8, C-13, and C-14. The position of a double bond at ∆8,9 was evident from the long-range correlation of H3-19 with C-9 at 139.8. The chemical shift of C-14 at δ 62.7 and HMBC correlations of H2-15 (δ 1.69, 2.48) with C-30 (δ 178.2) indicated the attachment of a carboxyl function at C-14. The COSY and HMBC data allowed the assignment of the signal at δ 88.3 (C-3) to a secondary oxygen-bearing carbon, adjacent to a quaternary sp3 carbon. This information together with the observed NOE correlations H3-19/H-2β (δ 1.90), H-6β (δ 1.55), and H-11β (δ 2.16), H-3/H-5 (δ 1.28) and H-28 (δ 1.24), H-6R/H-28, H-6β/ H-29 (δ 1.03), and H-12R/H-17 (δ 2.07) indicated that 1 contained a 14-carboxylanost-8(9)-ene skeleton. In addition, the long-range COSY correlation between H3-19 and H-1R and between H3-18 and H-12R, H-17 confirmed this conclusion. The relative stereochemistry of the proton at C-3 was defined on the basis of the 1H-1H coupling constants (J ) 4.3, 11.8 Hz) observed between H-3 and H-2R,β and assigned as axial.

This interpretation was confirmed by a strong NOESY cross-peak from H1-Gal to H-3. On the basis of the above data, the structure of eryloside R was established as 3-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-14carboxy-24,25-dimethyllanost-8(9)-en-3β,24-diol (1). HRMALDIMS eryloside S (2) gave a quasimolecular ion at m/z 715.4351 [M + Na]+. These data, coupled with 13C NMR spectral data, established the molecular formula of 2 as C39H64O10. The general features of the 1H and13C NMR spectra (Tables 4, 5) of the aglycon part of 2 closely resemble those of eryloside R (1), with the exception of proton and carbon signals belonging to the side chain. The difference in the NMR spectra was the appearance of the signals of the acetoxy group (δ 2.01 s, 170.0 C, 21.8 CH3) and downfield chemical shift of a quaternary oxygenated carbon (C-24, δ 87.4). Furthermore, the interpretation of the COSY and HSQC data revealed two additional isolated spin systems: >CH-CH3 (C-25-C-26, C-27). This information and a COSY correlation from H-20 (δ 1.52), H-22 (δ 1.05, 1.30) to H-23 (δ 1.97, 2.04) along with HMBC correlations from H3-31 (δ 1.37) to C-23 (δ 32.6), C-24 (δ 87.4), and C-25 (δ 34.0), from the doublet signals (J ) 7.0 Hz for each) observed for H-26 (δ 0.85) and H-27 (δ 0.92) to both C-24 and C-25, established the structure of the side chain, including the C-24 tertiary acetoxy group. Thus, the structure of eryloside S (2) was determined as 3-O-(β-Dgalactopyranosyl)-14-carboxy-24-acetoxy-24-methyllanost-8(9)en-3β-ol. 6 35.2 CH2 27.0 CH2 88.7 CH 39.5 C 50.2 CH 18.4 CH2 27.9 CH2 127.9 C 139.9 C 37.3 C 22.4 CH2 31.6 CH2 46.9 C 62.8 C 28.4 CH2 29.6 CH2 51.0 CH 17.9 CH3 19.5 CH3 36.8 CH 18.7 CH3 29.5 CH2 32.5 CH2 87.4 C 34.0 CH 17.1 CH3 16.9 CH3 27.5 CH3 16.4 CH3 178.2 C 19.7 CH3 7 8 35.3 CH2 27.0 CH2 88.4 CH 39.4 C 50.2 CH 18.4 CH2 27.9 CH 127.9 CH 2 139.9 C 37.3 C 22.5 CH2 31.7 CH2 46.9 C 62.7 C 28.3 CH2 29.5 CH2 51.5 CH 18.0 CH3 19.5 CH3 37.4 CH 18.8 CH3 30.4 CH2 33.5 CH2 75.2 C 38.5 C 25.7 CH3 25.7 CH3 27.5 CH3 16.6 CH3 178.3 C 21.0 CH3 25.7 CH3 35.3 CH2 27.0 CH2 88.4 CH 39.6 C 50.2 CH 18.4 CH2 27.9 CH 127.9 CH 2 139.9 C 37.3 C 22.5 CH2 31.7 CH2 46.9 C 62.8 C 28.3 CH2 29.5 CH2 51.6 CH 18.0 CH3 19.6 CH3 37.3 CH 18.8 CH3 30.3 CH2 33.4 CH2 75.3 C 38.5 C 25.7 CH3 25.7 CH3 27.4 CH3 16.4 CH3 178.3 C 20.9 CH3 25.7 CH3 169.8 C 21.9 CH3 Eryloside T (3) exhibited the molecular formula C38H62O9 as deduced from its HRMALDIMS ([M + Na]+, m/z 685.4331) and 13C NMR spectra. A close inspection of the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data (Tables 1, 4, and 6) of 3 revealed the presence of a galactoside with a triterpenoid aglycon structure possessing a secondary alcohol function at δ 88.2, two quaternary oxygenated carbons at δ 75.1 and 88.6, and one carbonyl carbon and one trisubstituted double bond at δ 178.5 (C), 120.2 (CH), and 140.2 (C). The IR spectrum of 3 exhibits a characteristic band at 1748 cm-1 attributable to a five-membered lactone. A major portion of the tetracyclic backbone was assembled on the basis of COSY-45, HSQC, and 1D-TOCSY experiments and through interpretation of key HMBC correlations from four methyl singlets (δ 0.77 H3-18, 0.97 H3-19, 1.26 H3-28, 1.09, H3-29) and from H-7 (δ 5.58, t, J ) 4.8 Hz) to C-5, C-6, C-9, and C-14 and from H-17 (δ 1.99, brq, J ) 9.5 Hz) to C-12, C-13, C-16, C- 18, and C-20. Localization of the trisubstituted double bond at ∆7(8) was evident from the COSY45 and 1D-TOCSY data and HMBC correlations of H-5 (δ 1.35, t, J ) 7.5 Hz) with C-6 and C-7 and of H-11 (δ 1.71, 1.82) and H-15 (δ 1.70) with C-8. A quaternary carbon at δ 65.1 in the 13C NMR spectrum was assigned to C-14 on the basis of its coupling with H-7, H-15, and H3-18. The chemical shift of this carbon and HMBC correlations from H2-15 (δ 1.70, 1.77) to C-30 (δ 178.5) suggested the attachment of a carbonyl function at C-14. The positioning of a γ-lactone at C-14 and C-9 was established by longrange correlation of H3-19 with the signal of C-9 (δ 88.6). The relative configuration of the aglycon part of 3 was assigned on the basis of a NOESY experiment and 1H-1H coupling constants. The magnitudes of the vicinal coupling constants (4.0, 11.6) between H-3 (δ 3.39) and H-2R,β (δ 1.88, 2.39) revealed an equatorial configuration of the oxygen function at C-3.

Finally, NOE cross-peaks H3-18/H-20 and H-12R/H-21 showed the R* configuration of C-20 and the β-orientation for the side chain. The structure of the side chain was established to be the same as that of eryloside R on the basis of COSY and HMBC correlations. The R-orientation of a γ-lactone in 3 was assigned on the basis of the upfield shift of the C-5 signal (47.0) when compared with that for lanost-7-en-3β,17R-diol (50.0).15 Eryloside T (3) was thus unambiguously determined as 3-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)14,9-lactone-24,25-dimethyllanost-7(8)-en-3β,24-diol. Thus, eryloside T exhibits a an unusual structural feature among known marine sponge glycosides, a 14,9-carbolactone. The molecular formula of eryloside U (4) was determined to be C38H62O10 by a HRMALDIMS peak at m/z 701.4263 and was in accordance with 13C NMR data. The IR spectrum of 4 exhibited a characteristic band at 1748 cm-1 attributable to a five-membered lactone. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the aglycon part of 4 (Tables 4 and 6) indicated the presence of a β-equatorial secondary alcohol function at δ 88.0 (CH), a γ-lactone at 176.8 (C) and 85.8 (C), two quaternary oxygenated carbons at 64.4 (C) and 75.2 (C), and one secondary oxygenated carbon at 54.0 (CH). The placement of a γ-lactone at C-14 and C-9 was evident from the long-range correlation of H3-19 (δ 1.01) with C-9 (δ 85.8) and of H3-18 (δ 1.04), H-15 (δ 1.25) with C-14 (δ 59.6). The COSY-45 and HSQC spectra of 4 revealed the connectivity sequence of the protons in ring B (>CH (5)-CH2 (6)-CHO (7)-). Further, the 1H and 13C NMR spectra showed signals corresponding to a trisubstituted epoxy methine at δH 3.13 (1H, brd, J ) 6.4 Hz) and δC 54.0. These data NOESY H-3 H-19 b All assignment were given for 2; and HMBC correlations of H-7 with C-5 (δ 42.6), C-6 (δ 20.8), and C-8 (δ 64.4), of H-6 with C-5, C-7 (δ 54.0), and C-8, and of H-11 with C-8 (Table 6) indicated the location of an epoxy group at C-7, C-8. The structure of the side chain was established to be the same as that of eryloside R on the basis of COSY and HMBC correlations. The orientation of an epoxy group in 4 was assigned as R, because the upfield shift of the C-5 signal (42.6) when compared with that for 3 (47.0) may be explained by the γ-effect of an axial oxygen function at C-7. This shift is predictable on the basis of analysis of spectral data of lanostane derivatives.15–18 The above data defined the structure of 4 as 3-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)7,8-epoxy-14,9-lactone-24,25-dimethyllanostan-3β,24-diol. This agrees with the molecular mass difference of 16 mass units between eryloside T and 4. Taking into consideration that five biosides, namely, erylosides F and F1-F4, were previously described,5,7 we have designated glycosides 5–7 as erylosides F5–F7. The NMR spectra of erylosides F5 (5) and F6 (6) indicated that both compounds contained identical carbohydrate moieties (Table 2). Initial examination of the 1-D proton and one-bond correlation NMR data suggested the presence of two sugars (anomeric signals at δH 4.77, δC 104.8 and δH 5.42, δC 102.8). Interpretation of the 1H-1H COSY and 1D-TOCSY spectra gave rise to a spin system for these monosaccharides, which were assigned as β-galactopyranose (Gal) and β-2-N-acetylglucosamine by analysis of 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY data as well as by the 3JH-H coupling constant of ring protons.19,21 The acid hydrolysis of the sum of these glycosides gave D-galactose and D-N-acetylglucosamine, which were identified by capillary GC Journal of Natural Products, 2007, Vol. 70, No. 12 1875 Erylosides from the Carribean Sponge Erylus goffrilleri Table 6. 1H NMR Data for the Aglycon Moieties of 3 and 4 in C5D5N 3 H 1 δH (J, Hz) HBMC 3 R: 2.00 m β: 1.56 m R: 2.39 m β: 1.88 m 3.39 dd (4.0, 11.6) 5 1.35 t (7.5) 6 1.95 t (6.2) 7 11 5.58 t (4.8) R: 1.82 m β: 1.71 m R: 1.59 m β: 1.84 m C-5,6,9,14 C-8 C-8 C-13,14,30 C-14,30 17 1.77 1.70 2.28 1.42 1.99 18 0.77 s 19 20 21 22 26 27 28 0.97 1.44 0.96 2.02 1.23 1.74 1.70 1.15 1.15 1.26 29 31 32 1.09 s 1.29 s 1.15 s 2 12 15 16 23 m m m m brq (9.5) s m d (7.0) m m m m s s s 4 H-19 C-4,28,29 C-4,6,7,10, 19,28 C-5,7,8,10 C-12,13,16, 18,20 C-12,13,14,17 C-1,5,9,10 H-29 H-5,28, H1-Gal H-3 H-19,28,29 H-15 H-18 H-21 H-18 H-7 H-21 H-11β,12β, 20 H-1β,6, H-29 H-18 C-17,20,22 C-24,25,27,32 C-24,25,26,32 C-3,4,5,29 C-3,4,5,28 C-23,24,25 C-24,25,26,27 δH (J, Hz) NOESY H-3,6 H1-Gal H-6 of the corresponding acetylated (-)- and (+)-2-octyl glycosides using authentic samples prepared from D- and L-galactose and D-Nacetylglucosamine.13 The arrangement of the sugar units was determined by HMBC and NOESY experiments. A long-range 1H-13C correlation (H1-Gal (δ 4.78)/C-3 (δ 88.8)) (Tables 2 and 4) as well as the NOESY cross-peak between H1-Gal and H-3 revealed a linkage between the galactose and aglycone. Similary, a long-range correlation of H-1-NAcGlc (δ 5.39)/C2-Gal (δ 80.8) and the NOESY cross-peak between H1-NAcGlc and H2-Gal (δ 4.52) assigned the linkage between these two sugar units. The HRMALDIMS of eryloside F5 (5) showed the quasimolecular ion at m/z 890.5214 [M + Na]+, consistent with the molecular formula C46H77O14. The structure of the aglycon moiety of 5 was found by extensive NMR spectroscopy (1H and 13C NMR, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) (Tables 4 and 5) to be the same as that of eryloside R. All the above data confirmed the structure of eryloside F5 (5) as 3-O-[2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-Dglucopyranosyl-(1f2)-β-D-galactopyranosyl]-14-carboxy-24,25dimethyllanost-8(9)-en-3β,24-diol. The molecular formula of eryloside F6 (6) was determined as C47H77O15 on the basis of a high-resolution MALDIMS peak at m/z 918.5226 and was in accordance with 13C NMR data. The 1H and 13C NMR data observed for the aglycon part of 6(Tables 4 and 5) matched those reported for eryloside S. Thus, the structure of eryloside F6 (6) was represented as 3-O-[2-acetamido-2-deoxyβ-D-glucopyranosyl-(1f2)-β-D-galactopyranosyl]-14-carboxy-24acetoxy-24-methyllanost-8(9)-en-3β-ol.

Interpretation of the 13C NMR, COSY, HSQC, and 1D-TOCSY spectra gave rise to spin systems for these monosaccharides, which were assigned as galacto- and gluco-β-configured residues on the basis of chemical shifts and coupling constants of ring protons.19,21–23 This deduction was further corroborated by intraresidual NOE connectivity between anomeric methines and H3,5-Gal, H3,5-Glu found in the NOESY spectrum (Table 3). The absolute configurations of the galactose and glucose were determined after acid hydrolysis of 7 by preparation of acetylated (-)-2-octyl glycosides followed by GC and comparison with corresponding authentic samples obtained from D- and Lgalactose and D- and L-glucose.14 The arrangement of the sugar moieties in 7 was established by a combination of the HMBC and NOESY spectra. A long-range 1H-13C correlation (H1-Gal (δ 4.79)/C-3 (δ 88.4)) (Tables 3 and 4) as well as the NOESY cross-peak between H1-Gal and H-3 revealed a linkage between the galactose and aglycone. Similary, a long-range correlation of H1-Glc (δ 5.40)/C3-Gal (δ 85.0) and the NOESY cross-peak between H1-Glc and H3-Gal (δ 4.26) assigned the 1,3-linkage between glucose and galactose. A close inspection of the 1H and 13C NMR data of 7 (Tables 4 and 5) revealed that eryloside F7 was structurally identical to eryloside R with respect to the aglycon. All the above data confirmed the structure of eryloside F7 (7) as 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1f3)-β-D-galactopyranosyl]14-carboxy-24,25-dimethyllanost-8(9)-en-3β,24-diol. 1876 Journal of Natural Products, 2007, Vol. 70, No. 12 AfiyatulloV et al. Figure 2. Structures of erylosides 5–8. Figure 1. Structures of erylosides 1–4. The molecular formula of eryloside V (8) was determined to be C48H80C17 by high-resolution MALDIMS (m/z 951.5258, [M + Na]+) and 13C NMR analyses. Its 1H and 13C NMR spectra (Table 3) revealed three anomeric protons at δ 4.82 (d, J ) 6.5 Hz), 5.17 (d, J ) 7.5 Hz), and 5.35 (d, J ) 7.8 Hz), which correlated with the anomeric carbon signals at δ 105.0 (CH), 105.1 (CH), and 104.9 (CH). Acid hydrolysis of 8 gave L-arabinose, D-xylose, and D-galactose, which were identified by GC of the corresponding acetylated (-)-2-octyl glycosides, using authentic samples prepared from the standard monosaccharides.14 The identification of each sugar as well as their sequence, interglycosidic linkage, and configuration of glycosidic bonds (β for xylose and galactose and R for arabinose) in 8 were determined by 1D and 2D NMR, including HMBC, HMQC, NOESY, and 1H-1H coupling constant values.19,21–23 The correlation observed in the HMBC spectrum between H1-Ara and C-3 as well as the NOESY cross-peak H-3/ H1-Ara assigned the connectivity between arabinose and C-3 of the aglycon. The long-range correlations of H2-Ara with C1-Gal and H3-Ara with C1-Xyl coupled with NOESY cross-peaks between H2-Ara and H1-Gal and between H3-Ara and H1-Xyl defined the 1,2-linkage between galactose and arabinose and 1,3linkage between xylose and arabinose. The aglycon moiety of 8 was found by extensive NMR spectroscopy (Tables 4 and 5) to be the same as that of eryloside R. On the basis of all the data above, the structure of eryloside V (8) was established as 3-O-{[β-Dgalactopyranosyl-(1f2)]-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1f3)]-R-L-arabinopyranosyl}-14-carboxy-24,25-dimethyllanost-8(9)-en-3β,24-diol. Erylosides R, S, T, V, F6, and F7 exhibited cytotoxic action against tumor cells of Ehrlich carcinoma (IC50 ) 20–40 µM) in vitro. Experimental Section General Experimental Procedures. Optical rotations were measured using a Perkin-Elmer 343 polarimeter. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in C5D5N on Bruker Avance 500 and Avance 600 spectrometers at 500 and 125.8 MHz and 600 and 150.9 MHz, respectively, using tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. HR MALDI-TOF mass spectra were recorded on a Bruker Biflex III laser desorption mass spectrometer coupled with delayed extraction using a N2 laser (337 nm) and R-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid as matrix. GC analyses were performed on an Agilent 6850 Series GC system equipped with a HP-5MS column using a temperature program of 100 to 250 °C at 5 °C min-1; temperatures of injector and detector were 150 and 270 °C, respectively. Low-pressure liquid column chromatography was performed using Polychrome-1 (Teflon powder, Biolar, Latvia) and Si gel L (40/100 µm, Chemapol, Praha, Czech Republic). Glass plates (4.5 × 6.0 cm) precoated with Si gel (5–17 µm, Sorbfil, Russia) were used for TLC. Preparative HPLC was carried out on a Beckman-Altex chromatograph, using Diasphere-110-C18 (5 µm, 10 × 250 mm) and YMC-Pack ODS-A (5 µm, 10 × 250 mm) columns with an RIDK refractometer detector. Animal Material. The sponge was collected in February 1998 near Arresife-Seko Reef (Cuba) by scuba diving at depths of 15–20 m. The sponge was cut and lyophilized immediately after collection. A voucher specimen (PIBOC 001-059) is on deposit in the collection of the Pacific Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Vladivostok, Russia. The sponge was identified as Erylus goffrilleri Wiedenmayer, 1977 (family Geodidae). The sponge was massively encrusting, up to 30 mm thick. Texture is firm, slightly compressible; surface is smooth and gently wrinkled. A layer of aspidasters and microoxes form a detachable crust (up to 0.8 mm thick). The rare orthotrianes are radially arranged to surface. The rhabdus are 650 by 10 µm, the clads 240 by 8 µm. The choanosomal oxeas are slightly curved (1 mm by 15 µm). The thin aspidasters are irregularly rhomb shaped 150 µm in length and 90 µm in width. The microoxeas/microstrongyles are slightly centrotylote and curved (30 µm by 2 µm). There are small calthrop-like oxyasters with 4–6 acanthose rays (14 µm in diameter). There is some resemblance to Erylus formosus Sollas widely distributed in the Caribbean, but clearly different by the morphology of the aspidasters. Extraction and Isolation. The lyophilized specimens (0.1 kg) were macerated and extracted with EtOH (4 × 500 mL) and 70% EtOH (2 × 500 mL). The combined extracts were concentrated to dryness and separated by low-pressure RP CC (20 × 8 cm column) on Polychrome-1 Teflon powder in H2O and 50% EtOH. After elution of inorganic salts and highly polar compounds by H2O, 50% EtOH was used to obtain the fraction of amphiphilic compounds, including the erylosides. After evaporation of the solvent, half of the residual material (4.5 g) was subjected to Si gel flash CC (7 × 13 cm) with a solvent gradient system of increasing polarity from 5% to 30% EtOH in CHCl3 (total volume 3 L). Fractions of 10 mL were collected and combined by TLC examination to obtain two subfractions. Subfraction I (540 mg) was further purified and separated by RP HPLC on a Diasphere-110-C18 column eluting with MeOH-H2O (90:10) and repeatedly chromatographed on a YMC-Pack ODS-A column in the same system to yield erylosides R (1) (180 mg), S (2) (5.5 mg), T (3) (3.0 mg), and U (4) (3 mg). Subfraction II (240 mg) was subjected to HPLC on a Diasphere110-C18 column with MeOH-H2O (85:15) and then on a YMC-Pack ODS-A column using MeOH-H2O-CHCl3(75:25:5) to give erylosides A5 (5) (3.5 mg), A6 (6) (12.0 mg), A7 (7) (10.0 mg), and V (8) (8 mg).

Acidic Hydrolysis of Erylosides R-U (1–4). A solution of a mixture of compounds 1–4 (each 1.5 mg) in 0.2 M TFA (0.5 mL) was heated in a stoppered reaction vial at 100 °C for 1 h. The H2O layer was extracted with CHCl3 and then neutralized with Dowex (HCO3-). The residue obtained after evaporation of the H2O layer was purified on a Zorbax NH2 column (5 µm, 4.6 × 150 mm) eluting with CH3CN-H2O (90:10) to yield 1.1 mg of galactose. The monosaccharide was treated with (-)-2-octanol (0.2 mL) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (1 drop) in a stoppered reaction vial at 130 °C overnight.13 The mixture was evaporated to dryness and acetylated with Ac2O in pyridine. The acetylated (-)-2-octyl glycoside was analyzed by GC using the corresponding authentic samples prepared from D- and L-galactose. Acidic Hydrolysis of Erylosides F5 and F6 (5, 6). A solution of a mixture of compounds 5 and 6 (each 4.0 mg) in 2 N HCl (1 mL) was heated in a stoppered reaction vial at 100 °C for 2 h. The residue obtained after evaporation of the H2O layer was separated on a Zorbax NH2 column (5 µm, 4.6 × 250 mm) eluting with CH3CN-H2O (90: 10) to yield 0.8 mg of galactose and 0.7 mg of 2-N-acetylglucosamine. The absolute configurations of the monosaccharides were determined by GC of the acetylated (-)-2-octyl glycosides using the corresponding authentic samples prepared from D- and L-galactose. Retention time for the L-GlcNAc derivative was determined for (+)-2-octyl glycoside of the corresponding D-sugar according to Leontein.13 Acidic Hydrolysis of Eryloside F7 (7). Compound 7 (6.0 mg) was hydrolyzed as described above for erylosides F5 and F6. The absolute configurations of the monosaccharides were determined by GC of the acetylated (-)-2-octyl glycosides using the corresponding authentic samples prepared from D- and L-galactose and D- and L-glucose.14 Acidic Hydrolysis of Eryloside V (8). Compound 7 (6.0 mg) was hydrolyzed as described above for erylosides F5 and F6. The absolute configurations of the monosaccharides were determined by GC of the acetylated (-)-2-octyl glycosides using the corresponding authentic samples prepared from D- and L-galactose, D- and L-arabinose, and Dand L-xylose.14 Bioassay. Ehrlich carcinoma cellls were grown intraperitoneally in albino mice, 18–20 g in weight. Cells were harvested on the seventh to tenth day after inoculation and washed twice by centrifugation (450 g, 10 min) in cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Then 100 µL of Journal of Natural Products, 2007, Vol. 70, No. 12 1877 the cell suspension (final cell concentration (2–5) × 106 cells/mL) was placed into wells of a 96-well microplate containing 10 µL solutions of tested compounds. The incubation was conducted within 1 h at 37 °C. Then, 10 µL of an aqueous solution of propidium iodide (final concentration 2.5 µg/mL) was added to each well, and the microplate was incubated additionally for 10 min at 37 °C. The fluorescence intensity was measured at λex ) 485 nm, λem ) 620 nm. Acknowledgment.
