Swinhoeisterols C-F (1-4), four new steroids having a rearranged 6/6/5/7 ring system, were isolated from the Xisha sponge Theonella swinhoei, together with the known analogue swinhoeisterol A (5). Their structures were determined based on spectroscopic analysis, TDDFT-ECD and optical rotation calculations, and biogenetic correlations. In an in vitro assay, compound 1 showed an inhibitory effect on (h)p300 with an IC value of 8.8 μM, whereas compounds 2-4 were not active.

Numerous biologically active natural products have been discovered from marine sponges, particularly from Theonella swinhoei, which is known to be a prolific source of natural products such as polyketides and peptides. Recent studies have revealed that many of these natural products are biosynthesized by Candidatus Entotheonella phylotypes, which are uncultivated symbionts within T. swinhoei.

Molybdenum is an essential micronutrient, but because of its toxicity at high concentrations, its accumulation in living organisms has not been widely demonstrated. In this study, we report that the marine sponge accumulates exceptionally high levels of molybdenum (46,793 micrograms per gram of dry weight) in a wide geographic distribution from the northern Red Sea to the reefs of Zanzibar, Indian Ocean. The element is found in various sponge body fractions and correlates to selenium.

Given the continuous emergence of new variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the development of new inhibitors is necessary to enhance clinical efficacy and increase the options for combination therapy for the coronavirus disease 2019. Because marine organisms have been a resource for the discovery of numerous bioactive molecules, we constructed an extract library of marine invertebrates collected from the Okinawa Islands. In this study, the extracts were used to identify antiviral molecules against SARS-CoV-2.

A novel bacterial strain, designated as PHS-Z3, was isolated from a marine sponge belonging to the genus on the Puerto Galera Deep Monkey, Philippines. Cells of PHS-Z3 were Gram-stain-positive, motile, oxidase- and catalase-positive, white-pigmented, spore-forming, short rods that could grow at 10-40 °C (optimum, 20 °C), pH 6.0-9.

Six new thiazole-containing cyclic peptides, the cyclotheonellazoles D-I (-), were isolated from the Australian marine sponge sp. (2131) with their structures assigned by comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and MS spectrometric analyses, Marfey's derivatization studies, and comparison with time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculated ECD data. The Type 2 azole-homologated peptides herein comprise up to five nonproteinogenic amino acids, including the protease transition state mimic α-keto-β-amino acid residue 3-amino-4-methyl-2-oxohexanoic acid (Amoha), while - also contain a terminal hydantoin residue not previously found in cyclotheonellazoles.
