Bromotyrosine-derived metabolites from an Indonesian marine sponge in the family Aplysinellidae (Order Verongiida).

Seven new bromotyrosine-derived metabolites, purpuramine M-N (1-2), araplysillin VII-XI (3-7) and six known compounds (8-13) were isolated from an Indonesian sponge belonging to the family Aplysinellidae (Order Verongiida). The structures of the new compounds were determined by extensive NMR experiments and mass spectrometric measurements. These compounds were screened against BACE1 and five cancer cell lines.
