As part of the Tara Pacific expedition, the first chemical investigation of the sponge Narrabeena nigra collected around the Futuna Islands yielded 18 brominated alkaloids: seven new bromotryptamine derivatives 1–7 and one new bromotyramine derivative 8 together with 10 known metabolites of both families 9–18. Their structures were deduced from extensive analyses of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data. In silico metabolite anticipation using the online tool MetWork revealed the presence of a key and minor biosynthetic intermediates. These 18 compounds showed almost no cytotoxic effect up to 10 µM on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y and microglia BV2 cells, and some of them exhibited an interesting neuroprotective activity by reducing oxidative damage PB MDPI YR 2019 FD 2019 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/21311 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/21311 LA eng NO Miguel-Gordo, M.; Gegunde, S.; Calabro, K.; Jennings, L.K.; Alfonso, A.; Genta-Jouve, G.; Vacelet, J.; Botana, L.M.; Thomas, O.P.
