β¦ Synopsis
Three novel nitrogen-containing metabolites, asmarines A-C (1 -3) together with two known diterpenes, zaatirin and chelodane were isolated from the Red Sea sponge Raspailia sp. collected in the Dahlak archipelago, Eritrea. The structure of the three new compounds and the known zaatirin and chelodane were established by spectroscopic analysis including X-ray diffraction analysis for asmarine A. Asmarines A-C are cytotoxic to a few human cancer cells.
