Enantiomeric pairs of the cytotoxic pyrroloiminoquinone marine alkaloids discorhabdins B (2), G*/I (3), L (4), and W (5) have been isolated from Latrunculia species sponges collected at different locations around the coast of New Zealand. The absolute configuration of all compounds was secured by comparison of observed data with the results of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Enantiomeric discorhabdins exhibit equipotent antiproliferative biological activity.
