An Australian population of the nudibranch mollusk Glossodoris atromarginata has been found to contain furanoditerpenes of the spongian series. Spongia-13(16),14-dien-3-one (1) and 3alpha-acetoxy-19-hydroxyspongia-13(16),14-dien-2-one [corrected] (2) were isolated for the first time from a natural source, along with a series of known diterpenes (3-7). Anatomical dissection of the animals revealed the relative distribution and chemical variation of secondary metabolites. Structural studies have provided a basis for chemical comparisons between populations from different geographic locations.

A detailed chemical investigation of the nudibranch Glossodoris atromarginata collected from Weizhou Island, South China Sea, yielded a new spongian-type diterpene 1, together with the four known-related compounds 2-5. The structure of the new compound 1 was elucidated by the detailed spectroscopic analysis, the comparison of the spectroscopic data with the known diterpene isoagatholactone, and the C chemical shift calculation. In addition, evidence for the absolute stereochemistry of the known compound 2 was, for the first time, provided by the application of time-dependent density functional theory electronic circular dichroism calculation.

Ten new norscalarane metabolites (1-10) with the mooloolabene skeleton in which the C-8 methyl substituent of a scalarane is replaced by a C-7/C-8 double bond are described from the nudibranch Doriprismatica (= Glossodoris) atromarginata and characterized by extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies, together with MS data. Also isolated was the known scalarane 12-deacetoxy-12-oxo-deoxoscalarin together with 26 furanoterpenes, nine of which (11-19) are reported for the first time. The high diversity of chemical compounds and variation between individuals and locations could reflect a varied sponge diet or an enzymatic detoxification mechanism.

Two new scalaranes (1 and 2) have been isolated from the dorid nudibranch Glossodoris atromarginataand its prey. The structures were deteremined by spectral techniques and confirmed by chemical methods. Compounds 1 and 3 showed selective cytotoxic activity against human thyroid carcinoma.
