Abstract After the first discovery of manzamine A from a marine sponge by Sakai and colleagues in 1986, its derivatives have attracted much attention among chemists and biologists due to their structural complexity and diverse biological activities. So far, more than 100 manzamine-related alkaloids have been identified, most of which have a fused 6-, 6-, 5-, 8-, and 13-membered ring system connected to a β-carboline as shown in manzamine A. In addition, a variety of bioactivities including cytotoxic,

1 Introduction The manzamine family is a class of alkaloids isolated from marine sponges. More than 100 derivatives with novel structures and significant biological activities have been reported to date. This chapter focuses on recent reports of the manzamines.

1.1

Discovery

Manzamine A (1) (Fig. 1) was first isolated by Sakai et al. in 1986 from a marine sponge Haliclona sp. collected in Okinawa, Japan, as a cytotoxic compound against P388 mouse leukemia cells [1]. It is composed of a β-carboline conjugated with an aliphatic moiety with a high degree of complexity. The structure was unprecedently novel, with complicated fused and bridged 6-, 6-, 5-, 8-, and 13-membered rings. The absolute configuration was determined by X-ray analysis of its hydrochloride salt. Later on, manzamine derivatives were frequently isolated from marine sponges belonging to the genera Pellina [2], Xestospongia [3, 4], Haliclona [1, 4, 5], Pachypellina [6], Amphimedon [7–9], Petrosia [10], Cribochalina [10], and Acanthostrongylophora [11–14].
