Two new compounds, 3-amino-7,8-dihydroimidazo-[1,5-c]-pyrimidin-5(6H)-one (1) and ethyl 3-(2-amino-1H-imidazol-4-yl)propylcarbamate (2), along with the previously known 7,8-dihydroimidazo-[1,5-c]-pyrimidin-5(6H)-one (3), aeroplysinin-1 (4), dibromoverongiaquinol (5), bisoxazolidinone derivative (6), aerophobins-1 (7) and −2 (8), purealidins J (9) and L, have been isolated from Aplysina sp. from the South China Sea. The structures were elucidated on the basis of 1H, 13C NMR, MS and IR analyses. The histamine-derived alkaloids 1-3 may be unknown bioconversion products of purealidin J (9), aerophobin-2 (8) and aerophobin-1 (7), respectively, when 7-9 are cleaved at C-8–C-9 in reactions of activated chemical defense in Aplysina sponge.

Three new bis-indole alkaloids, topsentin-A (1), -B1 (2), and -B2 (3) have been isolated from the Mediterranean sponge Topsentiagenitrix and their structure determined by spectroscopic methods. These compounds are weakly toxic for fish and for dissociated cells of the freshwater sponge Ephydatiafluviatilis and thus might be partially responsible for the chemical defense of the sponge.

Marine sponges often contain potent cytotoxic compounds, which in turn evokes the principle question of how marine sponges avoid self-toxicity. In a marine sponge Discodermia calyx, the highly toxic calyculin...
