Two new cyclic depsipeptide derivatives, kahalalides R (1) and S (2), together with two known congeners, kahalalidesF (3) and D (4), were isolated from the Indian sacoglossan mollusk Elysia grandifolia. The structures of the newcompounds were unambiguously established on the basis of NMR spectroscopic (1H, 13C, COSY, HMBC) and massspectrometric (FABMS, ESIMS, MALDI-TOF/PSD) data, which also included Marfey amino acid analyses. The newderivative kahalalide R was found to exert comparable or even higher cytotoxicity than the potential drug candidatekahalalide F toward the MCF7 human mammary carcinoma cell line.
