Sventrin, a new bromopyrrole alkaloid from the Caribbean sponge Agelas sventres.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A detailed analysis of the secondary metabolites of a specimen of Agelas sventres was carried out here for the first time. The chemistry of Agelas sponges is dominated by bromopyrrole derivatives. Besides three known bromopyrrole metabolites, a new compound, sventrin (1), was isolated and its structure identified using spectroscopic methods. Sventrin (1) was shown to be a feeding deterrent compound against a common omnivorous reef fish.

Monobromoisophakellin, a new bromopyrrole alkaloid from the Caribbean sponge Agelas sp.
A detailed analysis of the chemical constituents of a Caribbean specimen of Agelas sp. was carried out. Four brominated compounds (1-4) were isolated and one of them was identified as a new bromopyrrole metabolite, monobromoisophakellin (1). The structure of 1 was determined using spectroscopic methods. All compounds were tested for their antifeedant activity against the Caribbean reef fish Tha...

متن کاملBromosceptrin, an alkaloid from the marine sponge Agelas conifera.
Six dimeric bromopyrrole alkaloids (1-6) were isolated from a Florida Keys specimen of Agelas conifera. One of the constituents was identified as a new bromopyrrole metabolite, bromosceptrin (1). The structure of 1 was established from MS spectrometry and 1D and 2D NMR spectrocopy.
متن کاملThe marine sponge Agelas citrina as a source of the new pyrrole–imidazole alkaloids citrinamines A–D and N-methylagelongine
The chemical investigation of the Caribbean sponge Agelas citrina revealed four new pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids (PIAs), the citrinamines A-D (1-4) and the bromopyrrole alkaloid N-methylagelongine (5). All citrinamines are dimers of hymenidin (6) which was also isolated from this sponge as the major metabolite. Citrinamines A (1) and B (2) are derivatives of the PIA dimer mauritiamine (7), where...
متن کاملMultiple Defensive Roles for Bromopyrrole Alkaloids from Caribbean Agelas Sponges
Previous studies have indicated that Caribbean reef sponges of the common genus Agelas are chemically defended from fish predators by brominated pyrrole alkaloids: Agelas clathrodes and A. wiedenmayeri by 4,5-dibromopyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (1) and oroidin (2), A. conifera by sceptrin (3). In this study, we expand our understanding of chemical defense in this sponge genus to include an extensi...
