Two novel spiroaminals, marineosins A and B (1, 2), containing two pyrrole functionalities, were isolated from cultures of a marine sediment-derived actinomycete related to the genus Streptomyces. The marineosins, which appear to be derived from unknown modifications of prodigiosin-like pigment pathways, showed significant inhibition of human colon carcinoma (HCT-116) in an in vitro assay (IC50 = 0.5 mu M for marineosin A) and selective activities in diverse cancer cell types.
