Using various chromatographic methods, one new sesquiterpene quinone named smenohaimien F (1) and five known, neodactyloquinone (2), dactyloquinone C (3), dactyloquinone D (4), isoamijiol (5), and amijiol (6), were isolated from the marine sponge Smenospongia cerebriformis Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864. Their structures were elucidated by ID-, 2D-NMR spectroscopic analysis, HR-ESI-MS, and by comparing with the NMR data reported in the literature. The cytotoxic activities of the all compounds were evaluated on five human cancer cell lines, LU-1, HL-60, SK-Mel-2, HepG-2, and MCF-7. Compound 4 was found to exhibit significant cytotoxic activities on all tested human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 0.7 to 1.6 μg/mL.

In cancer cells, aerobic glycolysis rather than oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) is generally preferred for the production of ATP. In many cancers, highly expressed pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) reduces the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) by inducing the phosphorylation of its E1α subunit (PDHA1) and subsequently, shifts the energy metabolism from OxPhos to aerobic glycolysis. Thus, PDK1 has been regarded as a target for anticancer treatment.

Two new naphtoquinones (smenocerones A and B, 1 and 2) and four known sesquiterpene cyclopentenones (dactylospongenones A-D, 3-6) were isolated from sponge Smenospongia cerebriformis living in the Eastern Sea of Vietnam. Their chemical structures were determined by high resolution electrospray ionization (HR-ESI)-MS, NMR spectroscopic analysis, and in comparison with the reported data. The chiroptical properties of compounds 3-6 were examined by experiment and theoretical calculation of circular dichroism (CD) spectra to prove their absolute configurations.

Using various chromatographic methods, five new sesquiterpene derivatives named smenohaimiens A-E (1-5) and five known, 19-hydroxy-polyfibrospongol B (6), ilimaquinone (7), dictyoceratin C (8), polyfibrospongol A (9), and polyfibrospongol B (10) were isolated from the marine sponge Smenospongia cerebriformis Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864. Their structures were assigned by 1D, 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis, HR ESI MS, and calculations of the electron circular dichroism spectra. All compounds were evaluated for the inhibitory activity against NO production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated in BV2 microglia cells.

A novel phenyl alkene () was isolated from a mixture of three Florida sponges, , and . Unlike terpenoids or amino acid derivatives, which are commonly known classes of secondary metabolites from these genera, the chemical structure of showed an unprecedented linear phenyl alkene skeleton. Through comprehensive analyses of NMR and MS data, the gross structure of was determined to be ()-10-benzyl-5,7-dimethylundeca-1,5,10-trien-4-ol.
