    Ectyoplasides A-B, Unique Triterpene Oligoglycosides from the Caribbean Sponge Ectyoplasia ferox.

    Two novel norlanostane triglycosides, ectyoplasides A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from the methanolic extracts of the Caribbean sponge Ectyoplasia ferox (Raspaliidae, Axinellida). Their structures have been established by extensive application of high-resolution FABMS and two- dimensional NMR techniques, supported by chemical and enzymatic degradation methods. Ectyoplasides A and B have been shown to possess identical sugar chains (composed of two β-galactose units and one α-arabinose unit), but to differ in their aglycone moieties, which possess nortriterpene skeletons with an unprecedented substitution pattern on ring A. Ectyoplasides A and B show moderate cytotoxic activity when tested in vitro towards various cell lines

    Further investigation of the Caribbean marine sponge Agelas dispar for biologically active constituents has led to the isolation of the novel bromopyrrole alkaloids longamide B (1), and clathramides C (2) and D (3), whose structures have been determined by spectroscopic methods. Isolation of the known keramadine (4) and of the ecdysonic sterols ecdysterone (5) and ajugasterone C (6) is also reported. The antimicrobial activities of the isolated bromopyrrole alkaloids is summarized

    Three novel betaine alkaloids, called Aminozooanemonin (1), Pyridinebetaine A (2) and Pyridinebetaine B (3) have been isolated from the Caribbean sponge Agelas dispar. Their structures were determined by using FABMS, IR, UV, and one- and two dimensional NMR experiments. Aminozooanemonin (1) and pyridinebetaine A (2) showed a moderate antibacterial activity

    A purine derivative, 3,7-dimethylisoguanine (1), and a novel alkaloid with the unusual pyrrolopiperazine nucleus, longamide (2), were isolated from the sponge Agelas longissima, and their structures established on the basis of spectroscopic data. In addition, 2 exhibited a mild antibacterial activity
