The two metabolites, Aaptamine(1) and Demethyl(oxy)aaptamine(2) were isolated from marine Sponge Luffariella sp., collected in October 1992, Manado Bay, Sulawesi in Indonesia showed in vitro activity against KB cancer cell line. Their structures were elucidated by $^1H-$, $^{13}C-NMR$, $^1H-^{13}C$(1 bond) heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence spectroscopy(HMQC), electron ionization mass spectroscopy(EIMS), ultra-violet spectroscopy(UV) and infrared spectroscopy(IR).

Two new species of the genus Luffariella (Dictyoceratida: Thorectidae), L. tubula n. sp. and L. koreana n. sp. were collected from Jeju-do, Korea. These species differ significantly from the previously reported five species in terms of shape and skeletal structure. L. tubula n. sp. has two categories in thickness of secondary fibres which were different from other species. L. koreana n. sp. is very similar to L. variabilis from Tahiti in skeletal structure, but differs in sponge shape with irregular branching and indistinct surface conules. Primary fibres of the two new species are separated from secondary and tertiary fibres.

The three metabolites, Germacrene alcohol(1), Aaptamine(2) and Hexacyclic terpene(3) were isolated from Marine Sponge Luffariella sp., collected in October 1992, Manado Bay, Sulawesi in Indonesia showed in vitro activity against KB cancer cell line, and structure assignment for 1 was corrected by comparison of their spectral data with the literature $values^1$. Their structure were elucidated by $^1H$, $^13C$ NMR, $^1H$ $^13C$(1 bond) Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence Spectroscopy$(HMQC)^2$, $^1H$ $^13C$(2 and 3 bond) Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation Spectroscopy$(HMBC)^3$, Electron Impact Mass Spectroscopy(EI ms), Ultra-violet Spectroscopy(UV) and Infrared Spectroscopy(IR).
