Chemical investigation of the sponge $Verongia aerophoba$

The solvent effect on $Verongia aerophoba$ metabolites during the extraction and isolation processes were examined in this study. A major compound (6), a stereoisomer of fistularin-3, and a new compound (2) were isolated from the acetone extract of dried and ethanol extract of fresh V.$aerophoba$ samples respectively. The structures of these metabolites were elucidated using spectroscopic methods.
