• /bjoc.20.267 Abstract A new psammaplysin derivative, ceratinadin G (1), was obtained from the Okinawan marine sponge Pseudoceratina sp., and the gross structure was clarified through spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses. The absolute configuration of compound 1 was established by comparing its NMR

• cytotoxicity against L1210 murine leukemia cells and KB epidermoid carcinoma cells. Keywords: ceratinadin; cytotoxicity; marine sponge; psammaplysin; Pseudoceratina sp.; Introduction Marine sponges are widely recognized as a rich source of unique bioactive natural products. For instance, marine sponges

• have identified various bioactive bromotyrosine alkaloids [8]. Previously, we isolated two psammaplysin derivatives, ceratinadins E and F, containing two or three 11-N-methylmoloka’iamine units, from the Okinawan marine sponge Pseudoceratina sp. [9]. Further investigation of this sponge has led to the

• compound 2 with literature values [15] identified this metabolite as ianthesine E, which had been previously identified from a Pseudoceratina sp. specimen collected from the Great Barrier Reef. 5-Debromopurealidin H and ianthesine E corresponded to peaks one and two in the UHPLC–MS trace, respectively

• recently from an extract of Pseudoceratina Sp. [6]. The variety of types of pharmacological activity revealed in these marine sponges’ metabolites is not inferior to the chemodiversity of their structure. Many of them are reported to have properties such as α-adrenoreceptors [7] and leukotriene B4 receptor
