title: Staurosporine aglycone (K252-c) and arcyriaflavin A from the marine ascidian, Eudistoma sp.
abstract: Staurosporine aglycone (K252-c) (compound 1) and arcyriaflavin A (2) were isolated from a specimen of the marine ascidian, Eudistoma sp., collected off the coast of West Africa. In addition to expressing micromolar and submicromolar inhibition of enzyme activity against seven protein kinase C isoenzymes and inhibition of proliferation of the human lung cancer A549 and P388 murine leukemia cell lines, 1 also inhibited cell adhesion of the EL-4.IL-2 cell line and expressed activity in the K562 bleb and neutrophil assays.
