Abstract

A screening of 30 crude extracts of marine sponges against human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) yielded an EtOAc extract of the sponge Callyspongia sp. (Callyspongiidae) with significant activity. Further bioassay-guided fractionation of the EtOAc extract led to the isolation of three polyacetylene metabolites: a new polyacetylene diol, callyspongidiol (1), along with two known compounds, siphonodiol (2) and 14,15-dihydrosiphonodiol (3). Their structures were determined by a combination of spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 13 exhibited antiproliferative activity against HL-60 with IC50 values of 6.5, 2.8, and 6.5 µg/ml, respectively. These metabolites induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Dendritic cells (DC) differentiated with 13 enhance the differentiation of naïve T cells towards the Th1 type.
