Research
editClavelina cylindrica has yielded two novel alkaloids in 1993, cylindricine A, the first naturally occurring pyrrolo[2, 1-j]quinoline, and cylindricine B, a pyrido-[2,1-j]-quinoline ring compound.[2] Further research the following year led to the discovery of further cylindricines C to G,[3] and a further three, H to J in 1995.[4]
