Four new bromotryptamine derivatives from the marine bryozoan Flustra foliacea.

Ten brominated alkaloids, 6-bromo-2-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propenyl)-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (1), N-(2-[6-bromo-2-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propenyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethyl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide (2), deformylflustrabromine (3), flustrabromine (4), (3aR,8aS)-6-bromo-3a-[(2E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl]-1,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]-indol-7-ol (5), flustramine C (6), dihydroflustramine C (7), flustramine A (8), flustramine D (9), and flustraminol A (10), and the diterpene 4,6-bis(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)-6-methylcyclohexa-1,3-diene-carbaldehyde (11) were isolated from the dichloromethane extract of the North Sea bryozoan Flustra foliacea. Of the 10, four (1, 2, 3, and 5) represent new natural products. The structures of all isolates were elucidated by interpretation of their spectroscopic data (NMR, MS, UV, and IR). For compound 4 complete (13)C NMR data are reported for the first time. Compounds 3 and 6-8 were tested on voltage-activated potassium and sodium channels. Flustramine A (8) shows an unspecific blocking activity on Kv1.4 potassium-mediated currents.
