Two new alkaloids from Xestospongia sp., a New Caledonian sponge

J Nat Prod. 1992 Oct;55(10):1505-8. doi: 10.1021/np50088a017.

Abstract

Five alkaloids have been isolated from a New Caledonian sponge Xestospongia sp. These include three known xestospongin derivatives, the new demethylxestospongin B (1) and a tetrahydrocarboline derivative 5. The structures of the new compounds 1 and 5 have been established by nmr studies and comparison with previously described products.
