Inconspicamide, new N-acylated serinol from the marine sponge Stelletta inconspicua

Abstract

A new N-acylated serinol, inconspicamide (1), was isolated from the marine sponge, Stelletta inconspicua, together with a glyceryl ether (2). Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data and the modified Mosher analysis. They exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity against HeLa human cervical cancer cells.
