Guided by LC-MS/MS molecular networking-based metabolomics and cytotoxic activity, two new discorhabdin-type alkaloids, tridiscorhabdin ( 1 ) and didiscorhabdin ( 2 ), were isolated from the sponge Latrunculia biformis , collected from the Weddell Sea (Antarctica) at -291 m depth. Their structures were established by HRESIMS, NMR, [α] D , and ECD data coupled with DFT calculations. Both compounds bear a novel C-N bridge (C-1/N-13) between discorhabdin monomers, and 1 represents the first trimeric discorhabdin molecule isolated from Nature. Tridiscorhabdin ( 1 ) exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against the human colon cancer cell line HCT-116 (IC 50 value 0.31 μM).
