Abstract

In 1975, Cimino et al.'reported the isolation of a series of 3-alkylpyrrole-~!-carboxaldehydes from the marine sponge Oscarella lobularis. During our studies on Indo-Pacific sponges, we obtained a group of alkylated pyrrole-2-carboxaldehydes from Laxosuberites sp. We have shown that these metabolites are pyrrole-2-carboxaldehydes substitui ed at the 5-position by various alkyl groups.
