Two novel alkaloids, named manadomanzamines A (
1) and B (
2), were isolated from anIndonesian sponge
Acanthostrongylophora sp. (Haplosclerida: Petrosiidae). Their structures were elucidatedand shown to be a novel organic skeleton related to the manzamine type alkaloids. Their absoluteconfiguration and conformation were determined by CD, NOESY, and molecular modeling analysis. Themicrobial community analysis for the sponge that produces these unprecedented alkaloids has also beencompleted. Manadomanzamines A (
1) and B (
2) exhibited strong activity against
Mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb) with MIC values of 1.9 and 1.5

g/mL, respectively. Manadomanzamines A and B also exhibit activitiesagainst human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) and AIDS opportunistic fungal infections.
