Abstract

During our search for bioactive compounds from Turkish marine sponges, we have detected secondary metabolites from five different marine sponges which have been collected from Kemer (Antalya), Turkey. The compounds were detected by DAAD- HPLC from the methanolic extracts of five sponge species Axinella polypoides, Ircinia oros, Sarcotragus spinulosa, Ircinia variabilis, Agelas oroides. Our sponge samples contain bromopyrrole type of alkaloids, furanosesterterpens, and terpens which show similarity with the studies carried out by previous researchers.
