ABSTRACT

Alkaloid caulerpin (1), along with β-sitosterol (2), were isolated from the n-hexane extract of the macroalga Halimeda cylindracea Decaisne. The chemical structure was identified by a spectroscopic method including IR, MS, UV, NMR 1D, NMR 2D, and comparison with data of spectra previously reported. Compounds (1) and (2) were isolated for the first time from this macroalga. Compund (1) were evaluated for their cytotoxicity activity against NCL-H460 lung cancer cells in vitro and showed moderate activity with IC₅₀ value of 20.05 µg/mL.

Keywords: β-sitosterol; caulerpin; Halimeda cylindracea; NCL-H460 lung cancer cells

ABSTRAK

Alkaloid kaulerpin (1), bersama dengan β-sitosterol (2), diasingkan daripada ekstrak n-heksana daripada makroalga Halimeda cylindracea Decaisne. Struktur kimia dikenal pasti dengan kaedah spektroskopi termasuk IR, MS, UV, NMR 1D, NMR 2D dan perbandingan dengan data spektrum yang dilaporkan sebelumnya. Sebatian (1) dan (2) diasingkan untuk pertama kalinya daripada makroalga ini. Sebatian (1) dinilai untuk aktiviti kesitotoksikannya terhadap sel barah paru-paru NCL-H460 secara in vitro dan menunjukkan aktiviti sederhana dengan nilai IC₅₀ 20.05 µg/mL.

Kata kunci: β-sitosterol; Halimeda cylindracea; kaulerpin; sel barah paru-paru NCL-H460
