A marine sponge Petrosia similis afforded two compounds which belongs to bis-quinolizidine alkaloids namely, petrosin (1) and petrosin-A (2), respectively. Petrosin (1) and petrosin-A (2) showed anti-HIV inhibition with IC(50) values of 41.3 and 52.9 microm respectively. MAGI cell assays indicated that the compounds inhibited early steps of HIV replication. In extracellular HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase inhibition assay petrosin and petrosin-A inhibited HIV-1 RT at 10.6 and 14.8 microm. This is the first report of petroisns with anti-HIV activity.

A new stereoisomer Meso-araguspongine C together with nine reported macrocyclic bis-quinolizidine alkaloids araguspongines A, C, E, L, N-P, petrosin, and petrosin A were isolated from marine sponge Xestospongia muta. Stereochemistry of meso-araguspongine C (2) and araguspongines N-P (3-5) were established by their NMR data and conformational analyses. Both araguspongine C (1) and meso-araguspongine C (2) exhibited great cytotoxic activity towards HepG-2, HL-60, LU-1, MCF-7, and SK-Mel-2 human cancer cells (IC in the range of 0.
