Abstract

Capillasterin A (1), a novel pyrano[2,3-f]chromene, together with seven known naphthopyrones including comaparvin (2), TMC-256C1 (3), 6-methoxycomaparvin-5- methyl ether (4), 5,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-propyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-4-one (5), 5,8-dihydroxy-6,10-dimethoxy-2-propyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-4-one (6), TMC-256A1 (7) and 6-methoxycomaparvin (8) were isolated from an EtOH/H2O extract from the Australian crinoid Capillaster multiradiatus. The structures of all the compounds were determined by detailed spectroscopic (1D/2D NMR and MS) data analysis. This is the first report of a natural product that contains the pyrano[2,3-f]chromene skeleton. Compounds 26 were observed to display moderate inhibition of in vitro HIV-1 replication in a T cell line with EC50 values ranging from 7.5 to 25.5 µM without concomitant cytotoxicity.
