Five new alkaloids, lissoclin A (1), lissoclin B (2), lissoclin C (3), lissoclinotoxin C (5), and the dimeric lissoclinotoxin D (6), were isolated along with the known compounds lissoclinotoxin A (4), 2-phenylethylamine (11), and 6-bromotryptamine (12) from Lissoclinum sp. collected from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Lissoclin A (1) undergoes photorearrangement to a new benzo-1, 3-oxathiazoline 10. The 13C NMR spectrum of 4 is reported for the first time and the structure independently assigned by conversion to the known varacin N-trifluoroacetamide with diazomethane and [13C] diazomethane. Compound 4 is chiral and exhibits unusual stereoisomerism due to restricted inversion about the benzopentathiepin ring. Lissoclinotoxin A (4) and D (6) exhibit antifungal activity against Candida albicans.Since the discovery of amphimedine by Schmitzand co-workers in 1983,* 1 pyridoacridine alkaloids have emerged as a class of alkaloids from sponges and ascidians with significant antifungal, cytotoxic, and DNA binding properties. Dercitin, 2, 3 kuononiamine D, 4, 5 and neoamphime-dine6 were shown to intercalate DNA while neoamphi-medine, but not dercitin, inhibits topoisomerase II. 6 Kuanoniamine D5 and 2-bromoleptoclinidone7 chelate transition metal ions with high binding constants, a property that may play a role in their cytotoxic effects. Meridine, isolated independently from the ascidian Am-phicarpa meridiana8and sponge Corticum sp., 9 displays significant antifungal activity against Candida albicans, a property that is related to inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis. 9 The antineoplastic tetracyclic alkaloids varamine A and B10 and diplamine11 are examples of a less common group of sulfur-containing pyridoacridines./3-Carbolines and tetrahydro-/3-carbolines, including the eudistomins12 isolatedfrom several species of tropical ascidians, have shown activity as antitumor and antiviral agents. In this report, we demonstrate secondary me-tabolism from three distinct biosynthetic pathways within
