Abstract
In this first report on the chemistry of the sponge Stylissa caribica, two known bromopyrrole metabolites and a new compound, N-methyldibromoisophakellin (1), were isolated and identified. The structure of 1 was determined using spectroscopic methods and the computer program Cocon. N-Methyldibromoisophakellin (1) was shown to be the only secondary metabolite in Stylissa caribica that, at its natural concentration, is active as a feeding deterrent against a common omnivorous reef fish.
