The two new indole alkaloids 2‐amino‐1,5‐dihydro‐5‐(1 H ‐indol‐3‐ylmethyl)‐4 H ‐imidazol‐4‐one ( 1 ), 2‐amino‐5‐[(6‐bromo‐1 H ‐indol‐3‐yl)methyl]‐3,5‐dihydro‐3‐methyl‐4 H ‐imidazol‐4‐one ( 2 ), and auramine ( 3 ) have been isolated from the sea anemone Heteractis aurora. Both indole alkaloids were synthesized for the confirmation of the structures. Homarine ( 4 ), along with uracil ( 5 ), hypoxanthine ( 6 ), and inosine ( 7 ) have been obtained from Octopus cyanea.
