Clavelina cylindrica is a species of tunicate in the genus Clavelina. It is found in shallow waters around Australia.[1]

Research

Clavelina 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]
