ABSTRACT:

24 ethyl-5a-cholest-7-en-3a-ol (1), trans-P-hydroxycinnamaldehyde (2), para-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3), hamigeramine A (new alkaloid, 4) and Hamiguanasinol A (new nucleoside, 5) were isolated from the sponge Hamigera hamigera and their structures were established on the basis of UV data, NMR analysis and mass spectra. The extracts showed activity in fish feeding assay and were inactive in brine shrimp and antimicrobial assay.

KEYWORDS:

Hamigera hamigera; sterols; nucleoside; alkaloids brine shrimp; fish feeding assay
