Oceanapamine, a sesquiterpene alkaloid from the Philippine sponge Oceanapia sp.
The major metabolite of the Philippine sponge Oceanapia sp. is the antimicrobial alkaloid oceanapamine [1], which was isolated as a trifluoroacetate salt. The structure and the absolute configuration of oceanapamine, which consists of a monocyclic sesquiterpene attached to a histamine residue, were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data.
