Abstract
Pyrrole-containing natural products form a large group of structurally diverse compounds that occur in both terrestrial and marine organisms. In the present study the formation of trideuteromethylated artifacts of pyrrole-containing natural products was investigated, focusing on the discorhabdins. Three deuterated discorhabdins, 1, 3, and 5, were identified to be isolation procedure artifacts caused by the presence of DMSO-d6 during NMR sample preparation and handling. Three additional semisynthetic derivatives, 7-9, were made during the investigation of the mechanism of formation, which was shown to be driven by trideuteromethyl radicals in the presence of water, methanol, TFA, and traces of iron in the deuterated solvent. Generation of trideuteromethylated artifacts was also confirmed for other classes of pyrrole-containing metabolites, namely, makaluvamines, tambjamines, and dibromotryptamines, which had also been dissolved in DMSO-d6 during the structure elucidation process. Semisynthetic discorhabdins were assessed for antiproliferative activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines, and 14-trideuteromethyldiscorhabdin L (3) averaged low micromolar potency.

Abstract
Marine natural products occurring along the Western Australian coastline are the focus of this review. Western Australia covers one-third of the Australian coast, from tropical waters in the far north of the state to cooler temperate and Antarctic waters in the south. Over 40 years of research has resulted in the identification of a number of different types of secondary metabolites including terpenoids, alkaloids, polyketides, fatty acid derivatives, peptides and arsenic-containing natural products. Many of these compounds have been reported to display a variety of bioactivities. A description of the compound classes and their associated bioactivities from marine organisms found along the Western Australian coastline is presented.

Abstract
Pyrroloiminoquinones are a group of cytotoxic alkaloids most commonly isolated from marine sponges. Structurally, they are based on a tricyclic pyrrolo[4,3,2-de]quinoline core and encompass marine natural products such as makaluvamines, tsitsikammamines and discorhabdins. These diverse compounds are known to exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities including anticancer, antiplasmodial, antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral activities as well as the inhibition of several key cellular enzymes. The resurgence of interest in pyrroloiminoquinones and the convoluted understanding regarding their biological activities have prompted this review. Herein, we provided a concise summary of key findings and recent developments pertaining to their structural diversity, distribution, biogenesis, and their potential as chemical probes for drug development, including a discussion of promising synthetic analogs.

Biochemical and Toxinological Characterization of Venom from Macrorhynchia philippina (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa). BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:8170252.

Abstract
Macrorhynchia philippina is a colonial benthic hydroid from the Class Hydrozoa (Phylum Cnidaria) distributed in the tropical and subtropical marine waters from Atlantic Ocean, Indo-Pacific, and Mozambique. Its colonies somewhat resemble plants, causing confusion in the bathers who accidentally touch the animal. Acute burning/local pain, edema, erythema, and pruritus were symptoms already described, but its venom composition is unknown, as well as the participation of toxins for the symptom's development. Thus, herein, we show the biochemical composition and toxic effects of M. philippina venom. Colonies were collected and processed for histological analysis; alternatively, they were immersed into methanol containing 0.1% acetic acid for venom attainment, which was analyzed by mass spectrometry and submitted to edema and nociception evaluation in mice, hemolysis and antimicrobial assays in vitro. Before the molecule's extraction, it was possible to see the inoculation structures (hydrocladiums and hydrotheca) containing venom, which was released after the immersion of the animal in the solvents. The venom was composed mainly by low molecular mass compounds, able to cause significant reduction of the paw withdrawal latency from the hot plate test, 30 minutes after the injection. Moreover, significant edema was observed 10 and 30 minutes after the injection, indicating the activity of at least two inflammatory mediators. The venom caused no hemolytic activity but reduced the growth of A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae strains. This study is the first biochemical description of M. philippina venom, with molecules that cause fast inflammatory and painful effects, characteristic of the envenomation.

Toxicological risks on the human health of populations living around the Mediterranean Sea linked to the invasion of non-indigenous marine species from the Red Sea: A review. Toxicon 2021; 191:69-82.

Abstract
The Mediterranean region is, by far, a prime travel destination, having hosted more than 330 million tourists in 2016, mostly for seaside holidays. A greatly increased influx of thermophilic Red Sea species, introduced through the Suez Canal in a process referred to as Lessepsian invasion (in honor of Ferdinand de Lesseps who instigated the building of the Suez Canal), have raised awareness among scientists, medical personnel, and the public, of health risks caused by some venomous and poisonous marine species. The main species of concern are the poisonous Lagocephalus sceleratus, and the venomous Plotosus lineatus, Siganus luridus, Siganus rivulatus, Pterois miles, Synancea verrucosa, Rhopilema nomadica, Macrorhynchia philippina and Diadema setosum. Recognizing that the main factors that drive the introduction and dispersal of Red Sea biota in the Mediterranean, i.e., Suez Canal enlargements and warming seawater, are set to increase, and international tourist arrivals are forecasted to increase as well, to 500 million in 2030, an increase in intoxications and envenomations by alien marine species is to be expected and prepared for.

Abstract
Two new cyclic depsipeptides named swinhopeptolides A (1) and B (2) have been isolated from the marine sponge Theonella swinhoei cf. verrucosa, collected from Papua New Guinea. They each contain 11 diverse amino acid residues and 13-carbon polyketide moieties attached at the N-terminus. Compounds 1 and 2 each exist as two conformers in DMSO-d6 due to cis/trans isomerism of the proline residue, and their structures were successfully assigned by extensive NMR analyses complemented by chemical degradation and derivatization studies. Swinhopeptolide B (2) contains a previously undescribed 2,6,8-trimethyldeca-(2E,4E,6E)-trienoic acid moiety N-linked to a terminal serine residue. Swinhopeptolides A (1) and B (2) showed significant inhibition of the Ras/Raf signaling pathway with IC50 values of 5.8 and 8.5 μM, respectively.

Abstract
The synthesis of a diastereomer of lytophilippine A required 22 longest linear steps using known building blocks. Cross-metathesis/asymmetric aldol addition and regioselective esterification/ring-closing metathesis served as efficient combi tools for scaffold construction. Detailed NMR investigations in different solvent (systems) provide evidence for a deep-seated configurational misassignment of the molecule named lytophilippine A.
