Secobatzellines A and B, two new enzyme inhibitors from a deep-water Caribbean sponge of the genus Batzella.
Secobatzelline A (1), a new batzelline natural analogue, and secobatzelline B (2), a likely artifact formed during the isolation procedure, have been isolated from a deep-water marine sponge of the genus Batzella. Secobatzellines A and B inhibited the phosphatase activity of calcineurin, and secobatzelline A inhibited the peptidase activity of CPP32. Both compounds showed in vitro cytotoxicity against P-388 and A-549 cell lines. The isolation and structure elucidation of secobatzellines A (1) and B (2) are described.
