Abstract

Marine sponge has become a significant source of natural products for the development of therapeutic agents. Therefore, this study aims to isolate anti-mycobacterial activity of marine sponge Agelas sp. During the experiment, ethanol was used for sponge extraction, and the resulting ethanol extract was separated into 7 fractions using open column chromatography. The fractions were subsequently purified by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography, and 1H-NMR and mass spectroscopy were used to identify and characterize the compounds that were obtained. Anti-mycobacterial activity testing was carried out using the disc diffusion method with Mycobacterium smegmatis bacteria. The results showed that the extract of Agelas sp. yielded 10 known compounds, namely 2-cyano-4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole (1), 4,5-dibromo-2-methyl carboxylate (2), 4,5-dibromo pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (3), 4,5-dibromopyrrole-2-carboxamide (4), 5-bromopyrrole-2-carboamide (5), longamide (6), oroidin (7), keramadine (8), cyclooroidin (9), and manzacidin A (10). Compound 1 (2-cyano-4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole) inhibited Mycobacterium smegmatis bacteria, with an inhibition zone diameter of 7 mm at a dose of 50 g/disc. However, compounds 2-10 did not show any anti-mycobacterial activity at a dose of 50 g/disc. This study presented the first report on anti-mycobacterial activity of compound 1 (2-cyano-4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole).
