Two new marine sponges in the family Chalinidae, Haliclona (Haliclona) uljinensis n. sp. and Haliclona (Reniera) hongdoensis n. sp., are collected from Uljin and Hongdo Island, Korea during 2004-2007. H. (H.) uljinensis n. sp. is closely related to H. (H.) oculata in type of spicules. However, ectosomal skeleton of H. (H.) uljinensis n. sp. is reticulated and isodictyal reticulated type but H. (H.) oculata has not any dermal specialization in skeleton. The growth form of H. (H.) uljinensis n. sp. is thin encrusting with numerous cylindrical tubes on the surface but H. (H.) oculata is solid branch form. Haliclona (R.) hongdoensis n. sp. is closely related to H. (R.) aquaeductus in skeletal structure and growth form. However, oxeas of H. (R.) hongdoensis n. sp. are larger than H. (R.) aquaeductus's.

Two new marine sponges, Haliclona (Haliclona) tonggumiensis n. sp. and H. (Reniera) sinyeoensis n. sp., in the family Chalinidae were collected from Ulleungdo Island and Gageodo Island, Korea from 2007 to 2009. Haliclona (Haliclona) tonggumiensis n. sp. is similar to H. (H.) simulans (Johnston, 1842) in shape, but the former differs in its ectosomal skeleton structure and spicules' shape and size. The ectosomal skeleton of H. (H.) tonggumiensis n. sp. is absent, but that of H. (H.) simulans is very regularly arranged, and has tangential reticulation with oxea. The spicule shape of H. (H.) tonggumiensis n. sp. is slender, but that of H. (H.) simulans is short and cigar-shape. The new species have two sizes of oxea, but H. (H.) simulans has one size of oxea. Haliclona (Reniera) sinyeoensis n. sp. resembles H. (R.) tubifera (George and Wilson, 1919) in the growth form and choanosomal skeleton structure. However, the new species has two kinds of oxea in size, but H. (R.) tubifera has only one size.

A new sphingosine (1) was isolated from the MeOH extract of a marine sponge Haliclona (Reniera) sp. by bioactivity-guided fractionation. The 1D and 2D NMR, and MS spectroscopic analyses were used to establish the planar structure of 1. The stereochemistry of the compound was defined on the basis of modified Mosher's method, comparison of optical rotation and NMR data with those of the reported. Compound 1 was mildly cytotoxic to a panel of five human solid tumor cell lines.

Two species of the family Chalinidae, Haliclona (Gellius) tubulensis n. sp. and Haliclona (Gellius) marismedi were collected from Hongdo Island and Gageodo Island, Korea during 2004-2007. H. (G.) tubulensis n. sp. is closely related to H. (G.) coreana in type of spicules and growth form. But it is different in size of toxas and oscules. Toxa of H. (G.) tubulensis n. sp. is one type and its oscules are tuberculated. The toxa of H. (G.) coreana is two types and lacks projections. The overall shape and spiculation of H. (G.) marismedi are nearly identical with specimens described by Pulitzer-Finali (1977).

Two new sesterterpenes, including a known sesterterpene, were isolated from the marine sponge Haliclona sp. collected in the Gageo island, Korea. One of the new sesterterpenes (1) was an unusual compound possessing a spiroketal moiety and the other (2) represented a four ring-fused skeleton. The planar structure of compound 1 was identical to gombaspiroketals A and B isolated from the marine sponge Clathria gombawuiensis, but the configuration for the two chiral centers was different each other. On the other hand, the skeletal structure of compound 2 was similar to that of phorone A isolated from Phorbas sp. and a compound from C. gombawuiensis, except for one configuration at C-8. However, in comparing the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data, the proton and carbon chemical shifts for the three compounds were almost consistent. The NOESY spectrum revealed that the C-8 configuration of 2 was reversed to that of the two reported compounds. The configuration for compound 2 was supported by quantum mechanical calculation for the carbon chemical shifts and DP4+ probability for the protons and carbons of 2.

A taxonomic study on marine sponges was conducted by SCUBA diving at Gageodo Island, Korea from August 1999 to July 2001. Among them, Haliclona (Gellius) coreana n. sp. turned out to be new to science. This new species seems to be close to H. (G.) arcoferus Vosmaer, 1885, based on the type of spicules. However, it is different in size of toxa and growth form. Toxa of the new species is half in length compared to H. (G.) arcoferus. The growth form is jar shaped in this new species, but flat in H. (G.) arcoferus.

Four spiroketal sestertepenoids (1 ~ 4) were isolated from the marine sponge Haliclona species. Their planar structures were completely determined from a combination of extensive 1D and 2D NMR experiments, and also the relative stereochemistry on the chiral centers were established by the ROESY experiment. Compounds 1 ~ 3 were determined as the same planar structures with different stereochemistry on the chiral centers C-11 and C-13. Of these, 1 was identified as a new stereoisomer. Four compounds showed the inhibition effect of nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells (0.7~2.0 g/ml).

Antimicrobial substances were screened by paper disk plate method in marine sponges, Halichondria okadai, Halichendria sp., H iaponica and Haliclona Pemollis, collected from the south coast of Korea. Antibacterial components were detected in two species, H okadai and Halichondria sp.. Three components such as benzoic acid, okadaic acid(OA) and dinophysistoxin-1(DTX1) were identified from these sponges as the antimicrobial compounds by MS and NMR spectral data. OA$(550{\~}600{\mu}g/kg)$ and $(400{\~}490{\mu}g/kg)$ were determined from the wet H okadai and Halichondria sp., respectively, by using fluorometric HPLC analysis with 9-anthryldiazomethane(ADAM) as fluorescent labelling reagent.

L-Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid(A-2-C) is a four-membered cyclic imino acid which was first discovered from Convalaria majalis and Polygonatum officinalis in 1955(1,2). The imino acid A-2-C has been identified in at least 16 species of plants (3) (mostly the families Liliaceae, Agavaceae and Amaryllidaceae); in two marine sponges (Haliclona sp. and Chalinospilla sp.) (4); in the red algae (Lophocladia lamenandi) (5); in the sugar beet Beta vulgaris (6) ; and the microorganism Actinoplanes ferrugineus (7).
