Five new sulfated arylpyrrole and arylpyrrolone alkaloids, denigrins H-L (-), along with two known compounds, dictyodendrin B and denigrin G, were isolated from an extract of a New Zealand c.f. marine sponge.

Article Synopsis
  • The study mapped the metabolite profiles of 34 isolates from 13 different species, identifying a total of 56 secondary metabolites produced by these organisms.
  • Notably, only specific species were found to produce particular toxins, such as Pacific-ciguatoxins and maitotoxins, with ubiquitous production of 44-methylgambierone across all isolates.
  • The findings suggest that while the isolates produce known ciguatoxins (CTXs) or maitotoxins (MTXs), they do not produce both, and point to the presence of uncharacterized compounds that warrant further investigation.

Covering: January to the end of December 2022This review covers the literature published in 2022 for marine natural products (MNPs), with 645 citations (633 for the period January to December 2022) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, the submerged parts of mangroves and other intertidal plants. The emphasis is on new compounds (1417 in 384 papers for 2022), together with the relevant biological activities, source organisms and country of origin. Pertinent reviews, biosynthetic studies, first syntheses, and syntheses that led to the revision of structures or stereochemistries, have been included.

Feeding-choice experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions with two dorid spongivorous nudibranchs, Goniobranchus aureomarginatus and Ceratosoma amoenum, collected from a sponge meadow off Tauranga, New Zealand with two sponge prey (Dysidea teawanui sp.nov. and an undescribed species from the Dictyodendrillidae family, possibly Dictyodendrilla tenella (Lendenfeld 1888).
