Herein, we describe the isolation and spectroscopic identification of eight new tetrabrominated tyrosine alkaloids ⁻ from the Polynesian sponge , along with known major compound psammaplysene D (), ,-dimethyldibromotyramine, 5-hydroxy xanthenuric acid, and xanthenuric acid. Cytotoxicity and acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities were evaluated for some of the isolated metabolites. They exhibited moderate antiproliferative activity against KB cancer cell lines, but psammaplysene D () displayed substantial cytotoxicity as well as acetylcholinesterase inhibition with IC values of 0.7 μM and 1.3 μM, respectively.

Dynamics of microbiomes through time are fundamental regarding survival and resilience of their hosts when facing environmental alterations. As for marine species with commercial applications, such as marine sponges, assessing the temporal change of prokaryotic communities allows us to better consider the adaptation of sponges to aquaculture designs. The present study aims to investigate the factors shaping the microbiome of the sponge Dactylospongia metachromia, in a context of aquaculture development in French Polynesia, Rangiroa, Tuamotu archipelago.

Four new brominated tyrosine metabolites, aplyzanzines C-F (-), were isolated from the French Polynesian sponge n. sp., along with the two known 2-aminoimidazolic derivatives, purealidin A () and previously isolated, respectively, from the sponges and Verongula sp.

Although the French Polynesian reefs are among the most well studied reefs of the world, sponges are still poorly known, with only 199 species or OTUs of sponges having been described from French Polynesia, 167 at an OTU level and 32 at a species level. From those 199 species, just five are calcareous sponges. As it is possible that this number is underestimated, the aim of the present work was to study the diversity of calcareous sponges from French Polynesia.

Two new acyclic bis-guanidine alkaloids, unguiculins B-C (2-3), were isolated from a French Polynesian sponge Monanchora n. sp. together with the known compound unguiculin A (1).
