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.
