Two new linear cytotoxic tripeptides, virenamides D and E, have been isolated as minor constituents of extracts of the didemnid ascidianDiplosoma virens collected on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Their structures were deduced from one-dimensional and two-dimensional n.m.r. spectroscopic data, and the absolute stereochemistry of virenamide E is proven by synthesis from virenamide A.

A marine sponge, Coscinoderma sp., from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, contained a new sesterterpene hydroquinone, coscinoquinol (1). The structure was elucidated by one-dimensional and two-dimensional n.m.r. techniques. Cytotoxicity and other biological activities are reported for (1).

Three new chlorinated metabolites, namely 3-(3,3-dichloro-2-methylpropyl)-6-(3,3-dichloro-2-methyl-propylidene)-1,4-dimethylpiperazine-2,5-dione (3), 1-methyl-3-(3,3,3-trichloro-2-methylpropyl)-6-(3,3,3-richloro-2-methylpropylidene)piperazine-2,5-dione (4) and 5,5-dichloro-4-methyl-2-[methyl(4,4-dichloro-3-methyl-1-oxobutyl)amino]-N-(thiazol-2-ylmethyl)pentanamide (8), have been isolated from collections of Dysidea herbacea from the southern region of the Great Barrier Reef. The relative and absolute stereochemistry of (4) was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Dermocanarin 7 (3), a unique combination of a macrocyclic lactone of the dermocanarin class with an oxanthrone, is isolated from an indigenous Australian toadstool belonging to the genus Dermocybe. The structure of dermocanarin 7 (3) is determined mainly from spectroscopic data, while the absolute stereochemistry at the three chiral centres and at the chiral axis follows from the c.d. spectrum of (3) and the results of NOESY and other n.m.r. experiments.

Samples of Dysidea herbacea collected at Pelorus Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, afforded a new polybrominated diphenyl ether (1). The structure was determined by n.m.r. two-dimensional methods and by an X-ray diffraction study. N.m.r. spectral assignments for (1) and some previously reported isomeric polybrominated diphenyl ethers are discussed.

Great Barrier Reef sponges of the genus Spongia have yielded eight closely related tetracyclic furanoditerpenes. The structures, assigned on the basis of spectral methods, have been confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray analysis of one of the metabolites and the relative stereochemical features have been defined. The absolute configuration of this metabolite was determined by circular dichroism, which allowed the relationship between the eight new compounds to be determined.

A new isoflavan, named dalbergiacochan A (1), was isolated from the heartwood of Dalbergia cochinchinensis, along with two known isoflavans, namely mucronulatol (2) and 2′-O-methylsepiol (3). Their structures were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic analyses, including one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR), and mass spectroscopy (MS) data, and the absolute stereochemistry of compound 1 was determined as R-3′,6-dihydroxy-2′,4′,8-trimethoxyisoflavan from its circular dichroism spectrum. Compound 1 was inactive against Escherichia coli, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Shigella dysenteriae.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.
