“…Noteworthy is the percent of sponge extracts (40%) active against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Only recently marine sponges have started to be investigated for the search for new antituberculosis agents, for which they show to be a promising source of new drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis (Copp, 2003;El Sayed et al, 2000;Donia and Hamann, 2003). A smaller percentage of sponge extracts displayed cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells (11%), HCT-8 colon cancer cells (18%) and B16 murine melanoma cancer cells (8%).…”

“…puupehenone (14) from the sponge Hyrtios sp. [46,47], which also shows a potent antituberculosis activity [48]). Among those are also the ones with a 4,9-friedo-rearranged skeleton, such as ilimaquinone (3) [49], and a related amino derivative 15 from the sponge Dactylospongia elegans [50], the nakijiquinones 5 [11] and especially avarone (2) and avarol (1), with strong ED 50 activities of 0.62 µM and 0.93 µM, respectively, for mouse lymphoma cells [51,52].…”

“…22 The in vitro activity of manzamines against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv), malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, and Leishmania donovani, the causative agent for visceral leishmaniasis, is reported in Table 2. Most manzamines were active against M. tuberculosis with MICs < 12.5 μg/mL.…”
