Chart I extracts of a sponge tentatively identified as a species of Fenestraspongia1 exhibited in vitro antimicrobial activity and inhibited cell division in thefertilized sea urchin egg assay. Extracts of the sponge material contained the in-active metabolite furospinulosin-1 (l) 2 and the active metabolites ilimaquinone (2) 3 and 5-ept-ilimaquinone (3). In this note we report the structural elucidation of 5-epi-ilimaquinone (3)(Chart I). Specimens of Fenestraspongia sp. were collected near Urukthapel Island, Palau, and were stored frozen until required. Chromatography of a methanolic extract on Sephadex LH-20 using 1: 1 dichloromethane-methanol as eluant separated the major inactive metabolite furospinulosin-1 (1, 0.4% dry weight) from a 6: 4 mixture of ili-maquinone (2) and 5-epi-ilimaquinone (3)(2.1% dry weight). We had previously encountered a number of sponge samples from Palau that contained ilimaquinone (2) mixed with 10-20% isospongiaquinone (4), 4-5 but the active mixture from this sponge contained two compounds both having an exocyclic methylene group. The NMR spectrum contained the signals expected for ilimaquinone (2) at 5.86 (s, 1 H), 4.45 (br s, 1 H), 4.43 (br s, 1 H), and 3.87 (s, 3 H) together with an additional set of signals at 5.87 (s, 1 H), 4.70 (br s, 1 H), 4.67 (br s, 1 H), and 3.88 (s, 3 H) in the low-field region. These data suggested that (1) The sponge was in an unusually poor condition for identification but has the basic characteristics of the genus Fenestraspongia Bergquist.(2) Cimino, G.; De Stefano, S.; Mínale, L.
