title: The structures of aplysinamisines I, II, and III; new bromotyrosine-derived alkaloids from the Caribbean sponge Aplysina cauliformis.
abstract: Three new bromotyrosine-derived alkaloids, aplysinamisines I [4], II [5], and III [6], were isolated from the sponge Aplysina cauliformis collected in Puerto Rico and their chemical structures elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods. Compounds 4-6 showed marginal antimicrobial activity, and aplysinamisines II [5] and III [6] displayed modest cytotoxicity.
