Oroidin is a bromopyrrole alkaloid, originally isolated from marine sponges in the genus Agelas.[1][2][3] It appears to have a wide range of biological activities, which makes Oroidin a potential drug candidate for various diseases.[4] It also serves as chemical defense in marine sponges.[5]

Occurrence and properties[edit]

Oroidin is a secondary metabolite extracted from marine sponges.[5] It belongs to the pyrrole-2-aminoimidazole structural class, which is a family of marine alkaloids with many secondary metabolites in marine sponges.[6] These compounds show unique structural complexity and exclusively studied biological activities.[4]

Oroidin was first extracted from marine sponge Agelas in 1971.[1][3][2] Studies later found that Oroidin is present in other genera of sponges, such as Hymeniacidon, Cymbaxinella, Axinella.[7][8][4]

The relatively simple structure and lower molecular mass of Oroidin compared to other pyrrole-2-aminoimidazoles makes Oroidin suitable for chemical optimization.[9] Researchers have synthesized many Oroidin derivatives to improve the biological activities.[6] Adding additional side chains and/or functional groups gives many possibilities for new natural derivatives.[9] Those derivatives can also arise through dimerization of the parent Oroidin system.[10][11][12] Specifically, the polycyclic property of Oroidin helps build diverse polycyclic natural metabolites. Combinations of pyrrolic building blocks and different cyclization dimerization fashions produce these polycyclic derivatives.[7] However, details of the biosynthesis of these derivatives still remain unclear.[10]

Biological activities[edit]

Oroidin analogues have anticancer,[13] antiparasitic,[4] and antibiofilm[14] activities and therefore are a potential drug candidate for cancers, parasitic infections, and biofilm.

Cancer[edit]

Oroidin analogues have the modified structure of the original.[13] Analogues with increasing number of carbon atoms in the alkane component of the molecule show higher cytotoxicity than the original molecule towards cancer cells, making the analogs a promising anticancer drug candidate.[13] Oroidin analogues appear to inhibit the growth of colon cancer cells the most, but the precise mechanism remains unclear.[13]

Oroidin further helps cancer treatment development by inhibiting multidrug resistance (MDR) activity.[8] MDR possess resistance to anticancer agents and therefore significantly hinders cancer treatment.[8] Oroidin reverses MDR by interfering the MDR enzyme activity without having severe toxicity unlike other compounds.[8] It is thus a potential novel drug lead for MDR with no or little toxicity towards cancer patients.

Parasitic diseases[edit]

Oroidin also shows moderate anti-protozoal activity against several major parasites. Oroidin kills and/or inhibits the growth of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (causes African sleeping sickness), Trypanosoma cruzi, (causes Chagas disease), Leishmania donovani (causes Leishmaniasis), and Plasmodium falciparum (causes Malaria), making it a potential treatment for these diseases.[4]

Bacteria biofilm[edit]

Oroidin inhibits bacteria biofilm formation and its analog is a pivotal compound in developing biofilm inhibitors.[14]Bacteria biofilm leads to skin infection and is typically resistant to antibiotics.[14] Therefore, the antibiofilm activity of Oroidin helps develop effective treatment for biofilm skin infection.

Ecological function[edit]

Sea sponge Agelas

Oroidin defends marine sponges against predation and disease outbreak. The sponges produce and secrete Oroidin (possibility with other secondary metabolites) in response to these ecological threats.[15] In 1996, Oroidin and its hydrolysis product, 4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid, were isolated and identified as the chemical defensesagainst fish predators.[5][8] Later, a study found that Oroidin also regulates bacterioplankton communities and inhibit pathogenesis.[15]

A study suggests site-specific variation in secretion concentration of Oroidin.[15] This could be due to different environmental conditions, such as differences in ocean depth and particulate organic matter (POM) availability.[15] POM is a major nutrient source for sponges at depths, and POM availability increases with increasing depth.[15] Deep sea sponges secrete Oroidin three times more than shallow sponges, possibly due to the increased POM availability for energetic surplus.[15]

The chemical defense mechanisms still remain unclear since most studies on Oroidin focus on its biological activities.[10] However, molecules responsible for chemical defense appear to be evolutionary conserved and contribute to the success of marine sponges.[5]
