Four new debromoaplysiatoxin analogues isolated from marine cyanobacteria demonstrated inhibitory activity against the Kv1.5 potassium channel, a potential target for atrial tachyarrhythmias.
Potassium channel Kv1.5 has been considered a key target for new treatments of atrial tachyarrhythmias, with few side effects. Four new debromoaplysiatoxin analogues with a 6/6/12 fused ring system were isolated from marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya sp. Their planar structures were elucidated by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR. The absolute configuration of oscillatoxin J (1) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the absolute configurations of oscillatoxin K (2), oscillatoxin L (3) and oscillatoxin M (4) were confirmed on the basis of GIAO NMR shift calculation followed by DP4 analysis. The current study confirmed the absolute configuration of the pivotal chiral positions (7S, 9S, 10S, 11R, 12S, 15S, 29R and 30R) at traditional ATXs with 6/12/6 tricyclic ring system. Compound 1, 2 and 4 exhibited blocking activities against Kv1.5 with IC50 values of 2.61 ± 0.91 µM, 3.86 ± 1.03 µM and 3.79 ± 1.01 µM, respectively. However, compound 3 exhibited a minimum effect on Kv1.5 at 10 µM. Furthermore, all of these new debromoaplysiatoxin analogs displayed no apparent activity in a brine shrimp toxicity assay.

Shen et al. (2021) studied Atrial tachyarrhythmias. Debromoaplysiatoxin analogues (oscillatoxins J, K, L, M) was evaluated on Kv1.5 ion channel inhibition (IC50). New debromoaplysiatoxin analogues (oscillatoxins J, K, and M) exhibited blocking activities against the Kv1.5 ion channel with IC50 values of 2.61, 3.86, and 3.79 µM, respectively.
