K1 Zoantharia K1 Tropical Eastern Pacific K1 Zoanthus pulchellus K1 Zoanthamine K1 Inflammation AB Two new zoanthamine alkaloids, namely 3-acetoxynorzoanthamine (1) and 3-acetoxyzoanthamine (2), have been isolated from the zoantharian Zoanthus cf. pulchellus collected off the coast of the Santa Elena Peninsula, Ecuador, together with three known derivatives: zoanthamine, norzoanthamine, and 3-hydroxynorzoanthamine. The chemical structures of 1 and 2 were determined by interpretation of their 1D and 2D NMR data and comparison with literature data. This is the first report of zoanthamine-type alkaloids from Zoanthus cf. pulchellus collected in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. The neuroinflammatory activity of all the isolated compounds was evaluated in microglia BV-2 cells and high inhibitory effects were observed in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) generation PB MDPI YR 2018 FD 2018 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/22505 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/22505 LA eng NO Guillen, P.O.; Gegunde, S.; Jaramillo, K.B.; Alfonso, A.; Calabro, K.; Alonso, E.; Rodriguez, J.; Botana, L.M.; Thomas, O.P.
