The Mediterranean sponge Axinella verrucosa has been investigated for its alkaloid composition and has been found to produce a complex mixture of bromopyrrole alkaloids. Along with the previously isolated compounds 5-18, four novel alkaloids of this class, compounds 1-4, have been isolated, and their structures established through spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1-4 were found to display neuroprotective activity against the agonists serotonin and glutamate in vitro.

Sixteen undescribed pyrrololactam alkaloids, including five 2-bromopyrrole-ε-lactam (1a, 1b, 4a, 4b and 5), two 3-bromopyrrole-ε-lactam (9 and 10), eight pyrrole-ε-lactam (2a-3 and 6a-8), and one pyrrole-δ-lactam alkaloids (11), along with three previously reported compounds (12-14) were isolated from the marine sponge Phakellia fusca collected in the South China Sea. The planar structures were determined by NMR and MS analyses, while the absolute configurations were clearly elucidated by comparing the experimental and calculated ECD spectra. Compounds 2a, 2b, 4a-7b, 10, 12 and 13 exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 in LPS-induced RAW264.

Marine bromopyrrole alkaloids are a diverse family of natural products with a large array of biological applications. The mukanadin family is a group of molecules consisting of seven members (mukanadin A-G) that possess a range of biological activities. Inhibition of serotonergic signaling has been demonstrated by mukanadin B derivatives, presenting this chemical scaffold as a candidate for further SAR exploration.

Sri Lanka is a biodiversity hotspot and one of the richest geographical locations of marine sponges in the Indian ocean. However, the most extensive taxonomical study on Sri Lankan sponge biodiversity dates back ~100 years and only a limited number of studies have been conducted on sponge natural products. In the current study, 35 marine sponge specimens (collected from 16 sponge habitats around Sri Lanka) were identified, microfractionated and evaluated for antibacterial and anticancer assays.

Chemical diversification of substances present in natural product extracts can lead to a number of natural product-like compounds with a better chance of desirable bioactivities. The aim of this work was to discover unprecedented chemical conversion and produce new compounds through a one-step reaction of substances present in the extracts of marine sponges. In this report, a new unnatural tetracyclic bromopyrrole-imidazole derivative, -6-Et-cylindradine A (), was created from a chemically diversified extract of the sponge sp.
