Objective:
To study the chemical constituents in the fresh marine sponge Spongilla Wagner.
Methods:
Compounds were separated and purified through various chromatographic methods and their structures were identified by spectroscopic data.
Results:
Seven compounds were isolated and identified as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (I), p-hydroxycinnamic acid (II), Pyrimidine-2, 4 (1H, 3H)-dione (III), Ferulic acid methyl ester (IV), Dodecyl ethers of glycerol (V), Tetracosane( VI).
Conclusion:
All compounds are isolated from this sponge for the first time.

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
