More recently, several examples of bromophenols, bro-moanisoles, bromocresols and bromohydroxybenzalde-hydes have been characterized in the species Polysiphonia sphaerocarpa harvested in Australia (Sydney), and Rhodomela confervoides, Symphyodadia latiuscula, and Laurencia similis harvested in China (Qingdao, Dalian, and Hainan).

Bromophenols coupled with pyroglutamic acid, deoxygua-nosine, with urea derivatives and with nucleosides, as well as brominated derivatives of tetrahydroisoquinoline were characterized for the first time in the species Rhodomela confervoides of Chinese origin, harvested aroimd Qingdao (Zhao et al, 2005 Ma et al, 2006, 2007). However, none of these derivatives seems to present any significant antimicrobial or cytotoxic activity.
