Abstract
A detailed analysis of the secondary metabolites of Aplysina aerophoba and Aplysina cavernicola has been performed. A number of bromotyrosin e derivatives have been identified of which two, 14 and 15, both isola ted from A. cavernicola, are novel compounds. Their structures have be en assigned on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical data. The obtai ned results indicate a remarkable difference in the secondary metaboli sm of the two sponges, which eventually confirms the separation of the two Mediterranean Aplysina species, in perfect agreement with Vacelet 's opinion.
