Abstract

Abstract Manzamine A (1) known as a cytotoxin exhibited potent antimalarial activity with 40% recovery 60 days after single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection against mice infected with the malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei. Pachastrisamine (6), a simple derivative of a sphingosine, isolated from a sponge, Pachastrissa sp. showed a high level of cytotoxicity. New sesquiterpene carbonimidic dichlorides and related aldehydes (8­12) have been isolated as cytotoxic constituents of the sponge Stylotella aurantium and shown to have moderate cytotoxicity. Cyclic undecapeptides, barangamides A­D (13­16), have been isolated from the sponge Theonella swinhoei. Their structures were established by spectroscopic analysis and chemical reaction.
