Background: Siphonochalina siphonella is a marine sponge collected from saudi Red Sea water and scare study from this region.

Objective: To isolate the anticancer triterpenes with potent cytotoxicity from marine sponge, Siphonochalina siphonella and state the mode of action in cancer cell lines.

Materials And Methods: The sponge material was collected, extracted with organic solvent, and fractionated on different adsorbents. The structure of the pure metabolites were elucidated employing different spectroscopic techniques including 1D ((1)H and (13)C) and 2D (COSY, HMQC and HMBC) NMR, and MS spectroscopy.

Results: A new Neviotine-C (1) was obtained, along with four known metabolites (2-5). All compounds, except 5, were tested towards MCF-7, PC-3 and A549 and showed effects with IC50 in range 7.9-87 μM, whilst, 3 showed potent anti-proliferative activity against PC-3 and A549 with IC50 = 7.9 ± 0.120 and 8.9 ± 0.010 μM, respectively.

Conclusion: Compounds (1-4) showed significant cytotoxic activities, while 3 showed potent effect. The antiproliferative of 3 was attributed to significant S-phase cell cycle arrest.

Red Sea marine sponges (phylum Porifera) and associated microorganisms harbor a wide range of microorganisms, which are considered an essential source of bioactive products. In this study, we screened both the crude extracts of Red Sea marine sponges and their associated bacterial extract for antimicrobial activity and antiviral activity. Molecular characterization of bioactive producers was performed using16S rRNA sequencing, in addition to metagenomic analysis of three representative sponges utilizing the 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 region sequencing in two different seasons.

Increasing incidence of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens, especially in clinical settings, has been developed into a grave health situation. The drug resistance problem demands the necessity for alternative unique therapeutic policies. One such tactic is targeting the quorum sensing (QS) controlled virulence and biofilm production.

Four new polyacetylene amides, siphonellamides A-D (1-4), and one new fatty amide, siphonellamide E (5), together with a known indole fatty amide (6) and callyspongamide A (7), were isolated from the Red Sea marine sponge Siphonochalina siphonella. The structures of 1-5 were elucidated by extensive analyses of their 1D- and 2D-NMR spectra and MS. The isolated compounds were assessed for their cytotoxicity against HeLa, MCF-7, and A549 cancer cell lines.

Bacterial communities of marine sponges are believed to be an important partner for host survival but remain poorly studied. Sponges show difference in richness and abundance of microbial population inhabiting them. Three marine sponges belonging to the species of , and were collected from Red sea in Jeddah and were investigated using high throughput sequencing.

Three new polyacetylenic alcohols, siphonellanols A-C (1-3), together with two known polyacetylenic alcohols (4-5), were isolated from the CHCl-soluble fraction of the methanolic extract of the marine sponge Siphonochalina siphonella, collected in Egypt. The structures of 1-3 were determined by spectroscopic analyses of their 1D-, 2D-NMR, and MS spectra and by comparisons with reported data. The cytotoxicity assay revealed that 1-3 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities against a human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa), a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7), and a human lung cancer cell line (A549) with IC values ranging from 25.
