β¦ Synopsis
The structures of a dimeric and a tetrameric degraded dipeptide. derivable from bromotyrosine and cysteine, have been elucidated. Both compounds inhibit the growth of Bacillus subtiZis and Staphylococcus aLLI-eus. Bromotyrosine-derived secondary metabolites are characteristic of sponges of the order Verongida. 2
The compounds that have been encountered may be simple tyrosine degradation products, as e.g. aerothionin (1) 3 or they may be complex, as e.g. the psammaplysins (_2).4
which may have arisen from condensation of tyrosine with homoserine or its equivalent.

A chemical investigation of secondary metabolites from the sponge Aiolochroia crassa has been performed and five bromotyrosine derivatives (1-5) were identified. Their structures have been assigned on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, of which araplysillin III (2) and hexadellin C (3) possess new
