Ten bromotyrosine alkaloids were isolated and characterised from the marine sponge Aplysinella rhax (de Laubenfels 1954) collected from the Fiji Islands, which included one new bromotyrosine analogue, psammaplin P and two other analogues, psammaplin O and 3-bromo-2-hydroxy-5-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid, which have not been previously reported from natural sources. HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods were used in the elucidation of the compounds. Bisaprasin, a biphenylic dimer of psammaplin A, showed moderate activity with IC at 19±5 and 29±6 μM against Trypanzoma cruzi Tulahuen C4, and the lethal human malaria species Plasmodium falciparum clone 3D7, respectively, while psammaplins A and D exhibited low activity against both parasites. This is the first report of the antimalarial and antitrypanosomal activity of the psammaplin-type compounds. Additionally, the biosynthesis hypotheses of three natural products were proposed.

Psammaplins are sulfur containing bromotyrosine alkaloids that have shown antitumor activity through the inhibition of class I histone deacetylases (HDACs). The cytotoxic properties of psammaplin A (), the parent compound, are related to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) activation, but the mechanism of action of its analogs psammaplin K () and bisaprasin () has not been elucidated. In this study, the protective effects against oxidative stress of compounds -, isolated from the sponge , were evaluated in SH-SY5Y cells.

forms stable biofilms, providing a major barrier for multiple classes of antibiotics and severely impairing treatment of infected patients. The biofilm matrix of this Gram-negative bacterium is primarily composed of three major exopolysaccharides: alginate, Psl, and Pel. Here, we studied the antibiofilm properties of sponge-derived natural products ianthelliformisamines A-C and their combinations with clinically used antibiotics.

Article Synopsis
- - T-type calcium (Ca3) channels play a crucial role in heart function, particularly in heart conditions like hypertrophy and failure, but there's a lack of clinical inhibitors for them.
- - The study focused on purpurealidin analogs from marine sponges to find novel inhibitors and identified purpurealidin I as having a significant inhibitory effect on the rat Ca3.1 channel.
- - Four potent analogs were found to inhibit the Ca3.1 channel by blocking its ion flow, without altering the activation curve, and also showed activity on hERG channels, paving the way for new drug designs targeting T-type Ca channels.

In order to further expand the NatureBank open access compound library, chemical investigations of the Australian marine sponge, were undertaken since UHPLC-MS analysis of the extract from this sponge indicated the presence of a new alkaloid. Large-scale extraction and mass-directed isolation studies on the CHCl/MeOH extract resulted in the purification of a new bromotyrosine-derived alkaloid, 5-debromopurealidin H (), along with the known marine natural product, ianthesine E (). The chemical structure of the new compound was determined following detailed spectroscopic and spectrometric data analysis.

Sponges are prolific producers of specialized metabolites with unique structural scaffolds. Their chemical diversity has always inspired natural product chemists working in drug discovery. As part of their metabolic filter-feeding activities, sponges are known to release molecules, possibly including their specialized metabolites.
