Abstract

Two structurally unique dimeric bromopyrrole alkaloids, agelamadins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from a marine sponge Agelas sp. Agelamadins A (1) and B (2) have a structure consisting of an agelastatin-like tetracyclic moiety and an oroidin-like linear moiety in common. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. The antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of agelamadins A (1) and B (2) were evaluated.
