Abstract
The ethanolic extracts of two shallow water sponge species collected from the Aegean Sea afforded thirteen terpenoids in total, two of which were determined to be new. The structure elucidation of the terpenoids was carried out by spectroscopic techniques and comparison with related authentic compounds. The terpenoids have also been assayed for antibacterial activity. This is the first report about the metabolites isolated from the marine sponges of the Aegean Sea in Turkey.
