Abstract

The new meroterpenoids avinosol (1),3 ’-aminoavarone (2), and 3 ’-phenethylaminoavarone (3) have been isolated from the marine sponge Dysidea sp. collected in Papua New Guinea, and their structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data. Avinosol (1), which is apparently the first example of a naturally occurring meroterpenoid-nucleoside conjugate, showed antiinvasion activity in a cell-based assay.
