The marine sponge Phakellia carduus obtained during commercial trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight yielded a series of new C23 acetylenic acids, carduusynes (A-E) [(3)-(7)], which were isolated, characterized and identified as their respective ethyl esters [(8)-(12)].

A chemical investigation of a large purple sponge, Spongia sp., from the Great Australian Bight, resulted in the isolation of a new sesquiterpene/quinone (8), together with the known compounds dehydrocyclospongiaquinone-1 (4) and spongiaquinone (2). The last compound was also isolated as the potassium salt (9), this being the first recorded account of a naturally occurring marine sesquiterpene/quinone salt. The structure for (8) was assigned by detailed spectroscopic analysis. A re-investigation into the stereostructure of spongiaquinone (2) resulted in the first unambiguous assignment of absolute stereochemistry, and uncovered the peculiar chiroptical properties of spongiaquinone (2) and its potassium salt (9).

A Sigmosceptrella sp. of sponge collected during trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight, Australia, has yielded a series of new norterpenes. These include a new bisnorditerpene, sigmosceptrin-A (5); two new norditerpenes, sigmosceptrin-B (14) and sigmosceptrin-C (15), isolated as their methyl esters (6) and (7) respectively; and an ethylated artefact, sigmosceptrin-B ethyl ester (8). Complete stereostructures were assigned to the sigmosceptrins by spectroscopic analysis, chemical degradation, derivatization, and by a single-crystal X-ray structural analysis. A biosynthetic pathway is proposed that requires a common biosynthetic precursor to both the sigmosceptrins and norterpene cyclic peroxides.

The known marine furanosesterterpene furospinosulin-1 (1), together with three new furanosesterterpenes, namely cometin-A (2), cometin-B (3) and cometin-C (4), were isolated from a marine sponge, Spongia sp., collected during commercial trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight. The structures of these metabolites were determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis and chemical derivatization . The antibiotic property of the crude ethanol extract of this sponge was attributed solely to the furanosesterterpene tetronic acid cometin -A (2).

Chemical investigation of a marine sponge, Euryspongia sp., collected from the Great Australian Bight, Australia, resulted in the isolation of two new sesquiterpene quinones , deoxyspongiaquinone (4) and (E)-chlorodeoxyspongiaquinone (5), as well as two sesquiterpene hydroquinones, deoxyspongiaquinol (6) and (E)-chlorodeoxyspongiaquinol (7). The structures for (4)-(7) were determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis, as well as chemical interconversion and degradation.

An Australian marine sponge Arenochalina mirabilis (Lendenfeld 1887) collected from the Great Australian Bight has been found to contain six tricyclic alkaloids, mirabilins A-F (5)-(10), isolated and identified as their N-acetyl derivatives (11)-(16). Structures for the mirabilins were secured by detailed spectroscopic analysis.
