Adocia from Great Barrier Reef

Adociasulfates 1-6 (380-385) were isolated from a Haliclona (aka Adocia) sp. from Palau and were all inhibitors of kinesin motor proteins [331]. Adociasulfate 2 (381) had earlier been shown to inhibit the activity of the motor protein kinesin by interference with its binding to microtubules [332], An Adocia sp. from the Great Barrier Reef contained adociasulfates 1 (380), 7 (386) and 8 (387), which inhibit vacuolar H -ATPase [333]. Adociasulfates 5 (384) and 9 (388) were obtained from Adocia aculeata from the Great Barrier Reef [334], The structure of adociasulfate 1 (380) was confirmed by an enantioselective total synthesis [335]. Adociasulfate 10 (389) from Haliclona sp. from Palau also inhibits the kinesin motor proteins [336].
