Two new brominated compounds, subereaphenol K ( 2 ) and 2‐(3,5‐dibromo‐1‐ethoxy‐4‐oxocyclohexa‐2,5‐dien‐1‐yl)acetamide ( 3 ), together with subereaphenol B (methyl 2‐(2,4‐dibromo‐3,6‐dihydroxyphenyl)acetate; 1 ) with a revised structure, and five dibromotyrosine‐derived metabolites, 4 – 8 , were isolated from the sponge Suberea sp. and characterized by 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR spectroscopic and HR‐MS spectrometric data. Compounds 1, 2, 6 , and 8 exhibited various weak or moderate bioactivities, including antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. Furthermore, compounds 1 and 2 inhibited human recombinant phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) with IC 50 values of 2 μ M , whereas compounds 6 and 8 were less active.
