Orphan date January 2011 File Agelasimine A.svg thumb 100px right Chemical structure of agelasimine A Agelasimines are a group of adenine related bicyclic terpenoid diterpenoids isolated from the orange sea sponge sponge Agelas mauritania . Their chemical structures are closely related to the agelasine s. Both groups of compounds display a range of biological activities, such as cytotoxicity, inhibition of adenosine transfer into rabbit erythrocyte s red blood cells , Ca sup 2 sup channel antagonistic action, Alpha 1 adrenergic receptor 1 adrenergic blockade and others. Both compounds have been reproduced in the laboratory by organic synthesis .
