New dimeric bromopyrrole–imidazole alkaloids, nagelamide I (1) and 2,2′-didebromonagelamide B (2), have been isolated from an Okinawan marine sponge Agelas species. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated based on analyses of the spectral data. Nagelamide I (1) was the first symmetric dimeric bromopyrrole–imidazole alkaloid consisting of two subunits connected with a single bond.
