Many polyhalogenated indoles (37-42) were identified in Rhodophyllis membranacea collected from the Kaikoura coast (New Zealand). The fractions (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, and 42) obtained from the extract of R. membranacea contain polychlorinated and polybrominated alkaloids [53] (Fig. 2.6).

About 10 tri-and tetrahalogenoindoles, all strongly antifungal, were identified in Rhodophyllis membranacea, a Rhyzophyllidaceae of New Zealand, by comparison with all the isomers obtained by synthesis (Brennan and Erickson, 1978). 

Indolic derivatives are also present in many species of Ceramiales, especially in the families Rhodomelaceae and Delesseriaceae, and we limit ourselves here to some characteristic examples. Three series of bromoindoles were isolated from Laurencia hrongniartii harvested in the Caribbean (Carter et al., 1978), Japan (Tanaka et al., 1989). and Taiwan (El-Gamal, Wang, and Duh, 2005). The first (Caribbean) without sulfur derivatives, contains molecules similar to the bromoindoles isolated from the Gigartinale Rhodophyllis membranacea the second and third series (Japan and Taiwan) contain sulfur derivatives, but they do not appear to have analogs in other species of...
