The structures and relative stereochemistry of nine new briaran -based diterpenes from a Briareum species have been deduced from 2-D n.m.r. experiments at high field, and nuclear Overhauser effect experiments. The new compounds are (1R*2R*,3R*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*,11R*,-12S*,14S*,17R*)-2,3,14-triacetoxy-8,17:11,12-bisepoxy-9-hydroxybriar-5-en-18-one (5), (1R* ,2R* ,3R* ,5Z*,7S*,8S* ,9S*,10S*,11R*,12S*, 14S*, 17R*)-3,14-diacetoxy-2-butyryloxy-8,17:11,12-bisepoxy-9-hydroxybriar-5-en-18-one (6),(1R*,2R*,3R*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*,11R*,12S*,14S)-2,3,14-triacetoxy-11,12-epoxybriara-5,8(17)-dien-18-one(17),(1S*,2S*,4R*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*,2,4,9.12-tetraacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-11-hydroxybriara-5,13-dien-18-one (8),(1S*, 2S*,4R*, 5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*, 11S*, 12R*,13Z,17R*)-2,4,9-triacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-11,12-dihydroxybriara-5,13-dien-18-one (9), (1S *,2S*,4R*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*, 11S *,12R*,13Z,17R*)-2,4,9,12-tetraacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-11-hydroxybriara-5,13-dien-18-one(10),(1Si,2S*,5Z,7S',8S*,-9S*,10S*,11R*,12R*,13Z,17R*)-2,12-diacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-9-hydroxybriara-5,13-dien-18-one(ll), (1R*,2R*,3Si,5Z,7S* ,8S* ,9S* ,10S* ,11Z,14S*,17R*)-2,14-diacetoxy-3-butyryloxy-8,17-epoxy-9-hydroxybriara-5,11-dien-18-one (12) and (1R *,2R*,3S*,5Z,7S*,8S*,9S*,10S*,11Z,-14S',17R*)-2,3,14-triacetoxy-8,17-epoxy-9-hydroxybriara-5,11-dien-18-one (13). In addition to the nine new briaran derivatives, the same coral afforded two cladiellane derivatives (1R*,4R*,5S*,6R*,8R*,12R*,13R*,14R*)-cladiellane-4,8,12-triol (14) and its 4-acetoxy derivative (15). Aknowncembranoid diterpene (1R *,4R*,ZE,7E,l1E)-cembra-2,7,11-trien-4-ol(21) wasalso isolated together with an unprecedented perhydrophenanthrene-based diterpene (20): (1R *, 1aR*,4S*,4aR*,5aR*,8aR*)-4-isopropyl-l,8a-dimethyl-5-methylenetetradecahydrophenanthren-1-ol. The extraordinary biosynthetic ability of soft corals from the genus Briareum is once more revealed.

The structure and relative stereochemistry of four new metabolites from Briareum steckei has been deduced from 2D-n.m.r. experiments at high field, and confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray determination of a minor metabolite. The new compounds are non-halogenated briaran derivatives: (1R*,2S*,3R*,5Z,7S*,8(17)Z,l0R*, llR *,12S*,14S*)- 3,14-diacetoxy- 11,12-epoxy- 18-oxobriara-5,8(17)-dien-2-yl butanoate (3), its 3-deacetoxy derivative (4), (1R*,2R*,4R*,5Z,7S*,8(17)Z,10R*, 11R *,12S*,14S*)-4,14-diacetoxy-11,12-epoxy-18-oxobriara-5,8(17)-dien-2-yl butanoate (5) and the related 2-propanoate (6). Single-crystal X-ray determinations were performed on (5) and (6).

The analysis of proton nuclear Overhauser effect data for piriprost, (6,9-deepoxy)-6,9-(phenylimino)-Δ6,8 prostaglandin I1, indicates that the cyclopentene ring has the 11E conformation. A long-range nOe effect indicates that the α-chain is folded near the pyrrole and the phenyl rings.

The nuclear Overhauser effects at the formyl proton of dimethylformamide have been measured at and above room temperature. At 90° separate irradiation of the high field and low field methyl signals results in equal nuclear Overhauser effects from both methyls.

The conformational properties of the Sarmesin analogues [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4]ANGII and [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4, Ile8]ANGII in hexadeutero-dimethysulfoxide were investigated by Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) Enhancement Studies. Cis-trans isomers (ratio 1 : 6) due to restricted rotation of the His-Pro bond were observed. Interresidue interactions between the His Cα proton and the two Pro Cδ protons revealed that the major isomer was the trans.

The fungus strain SCSIO 40433 was isolated from an Arctic-derived glacier sediment sample and characterized as Tolypocladium cylindrosporum. A new compound, cylindromicin (1), and seven known secondary metabolites (2–8) were isolated from this strain. The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses. Cylindromicin (1) featured a 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran skeleton. The absolute configuration of compound 1 was assigned via interpretation of key Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (NOESY) correlations and Electronic Circular Dichroism (ECD) calculation. Cylindromicin (1) exhibited significant tyrosinase inhibition activity. This study highlights Polar fungi as a potential resource for new bioactive natural products.
