Abstract
The cell extracts of two cultured freshwater Nostoc spp., UIC 10279 and UIC 10366, both from the suburbs of Chicago, showed antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435 cancer cell lines. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of five glycosylated cylindrocyclophanes, named ribocyclophanes A–E (1–5) and cylindrocyclophane D (6). The structure determination was carried out by HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR analyses and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The structures of ribocyclophanes A–E (1–5) contain a β-d-ribopyranose glycone in the rare 1C4 conformation. Among isolated compounds, ribocyclophane D (4) showed antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells with an IC50 value of less than 1 μM.
