Norzoanthamine is a new alkaloid found in Zoanthus species (Class Anthozoa), a kind of sea anemones.

Norzoanthamine has been shown to suppress the loss of bone weight and strength in mice; that could lead to a treatment for osteoporosis. Some derivatives of norzoanthamine also suppress development of some kind of leukemia cell lines and human platelet aggregation.

A laboratory synthesis of this compound was developed in 2004.[1]
