Abstract

Six new sesquiterpenoid quinones with an amino acid residue, metachromins L-Q (1-6), have been isolated from an Okinawan marine sponge Spongia sp. The structures and stereochemistry of 1-6 were elucidated on the basis of the spectroscopic data and chemical correlations. Metachromins L (1) and M (2) showed modest cytotoxicity.
