A new unique sesquiterpene lactone, bicyclolamellolactone A (1), was isolated together with two known monocyclofarnesol-type sesquiterpenes, lamellolactones A (2) and B (3), from the Indonesian marine sponge Lamellodysidea sp. (cf. L. herbacea). The planar structure of 1 was assigned based on its spectroscopic data (1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, UV, and IR spectra). The relative and absolute configuration of 1 was determined by comparison of its calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism spectra in combination with NOESY correlations. Compounds 1-3 inhibited bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-induced alkaline phosphatase activity in mutant BMP receptor-carrying C2C12 cells with IC50 values of 51, 4.6, and 20 μM, respectively.
