Abstract

Chemical investigations of two specimens of Trikentrion flabelliforme collected from Australian waters have resulted in the identification of four new indole alkaloids, trikentramides A-D (9-12). The planar chemical structures for 9-12 were established following analysis of 1D/2D NMR and MS data. The relative configurations for 9-12 were determined following comparison of 1H NMR data with previously reported and related natural products. The application of a quantum mechanical modeling method, density functional theory, confirmed the relative configurations and also validated the downfield carbon chemical shift observed for one of the quaternary carbons (C-5a) in the cyclopenta[g]indole series. The indole-2,3-dione motif present in trikentramides A-C is rare in nature, and this is the first report of these oxidized indole derivatives from a marine sponge.
