Abstract:
Two new alkene sulfates, (5Z)-dec-5-en-1-yl sulfate (4) and (3E)-dec-3-en-1-yl sulfate (5), together with three known sulfated alkanes, 2,6-dimethylheptyl sulfate (1), octyl sulfate (2), and decyl sulfate (3), were isolated from the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus. The structures of the new compounds 4 and 5 were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, including ¹H-, ¹³C-, and 2D-NMR, ESI-MS, and HR-ESI-MS. Compounds 2 and 3 were isolated from natural sources for the first time. In preliminary bioassays in vitro, compounds 4 and 5 showed antibacterial, antifungal, and cytotoxic activities.
