Abstract

Three new p-terphenyl derivatives, nocarterphenyls A-C (1-3), along with three known analogues (4-6) were isolated from the marine-derived actinobacterial strain Nocardiopsis sp. OUCMDZ-4936. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment. Compounds 1 and 2 possess a benzothiazole and benzothiazine moiety, respectively, which are rare in the skeleton of p-terphenyls. Nocarterphenyl A (1) showed potent cytotoxic activity against the HL60 and HCC1954 Cancer cell lines with the IC50 values of 0.38 and 0.10 μM among 26 human Cancer cell lines.
