Isohalitulin and haliclorensins B and C, three marine alkaloids from Haliclona tulearensis

J Nat Prod. 2010 Mar 26;73(3):456-8. doi: 10.1021/np900500c.

Abstract

Three new alkaloids, designated isohalitulin (4), haliclorensin B (5), and haliclorensin C (6), were isolated from two specimens of the Madagascan sponge Haliclona tulearensis, collected at two locations in Salary Bay, north of Tulear. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic means. Alkaloids 4-6 exhibited mild toxicity in the brine shrimp test.
