Successive chromatographic separations and final HPLC purification of the potent antifungal fraction afforded a new bicyclic glycopeptide, theonellamide G (1). The structure of the peptide was determined using extensive 1D and 2D NMR and  high-resolution mass spectral determinations. The absolute configuration of theonellamide G was determined by chemical degradation and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Theonellamide G showed potent antifungal activity towards wild and amphotericin B-resistant strains of Candida albicans with IC50 of 4.49 and 2.0 \u03bcM, respectively. Additionally, it displayed cytotoxic activity against the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (HCT-16) with IC50 of 6.0 \u03bcM. These findings provide further insight into the chemical diversity and biological activities of this class of compounds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/md12041911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,1]],"date-time":"2014-04-01T11:07:06Z","timestamp":1396350426000},"page":"1911-1923","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["Theonellamide G, a Potent Antifungal and Cytotoxic Bicyclic Glycopeptide from the Red Sea Marine Sponge  Theonella swinhoei"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2217-4039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diaa","family":"Youssef","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural Products, Faculty of Pharmacy, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1866-8258","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lamiaa","family":"Shaala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Natural Products Unit, King Fahd Medical Research Center, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Suez Canal University Hospital, Suez Canal University, Ismailia 41522, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gamal","family":"Mohamed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural Products, Faculty of Pharmacy, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Al-Azhar University, Assiut Branch,  Assiut 71524, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jihan","family":"Badr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural Products, Faculty of Pharmacy, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Suez Canal University, Ismailia 41522, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faida","family":"Bamanie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, King Abdulaziz University,  Jeddah 21589, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabrin","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Assiut University, Assiut 71526, Egypt"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy and Medicinal Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Taibah University, Al Madinah Al Munawwarah 41477, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2643","DOI":"10.3390\/md9122643","article-title":"Natural Products from the Lithistida: A Review of the Literature since 2000","volume":"9","author":"Winder","year":"2011","journal-title":"Mar.
