Abstract
8-Oxoadenine (1) was found as a main secondary metabolite of a far-eastern Thorectidae sponge. In addition, a related minor compound, 9-methyl-8-oxoadenine (2), was isolated for the first time as a natural product, along with the previously known 3-methyladenine (3). Two known trihydroxylated sterols of the Δ7 series (4, 5) were also identified. Structural identification of 1–5 was carried out by analysis of spectroscopic data.
