Girolline , a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella , has been investigated for possible antitumor effects and also found to have anti-malarial effects.

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science have discovered that girolline acts by modulating the activity of eIF5A, a protein that helps the ribosome navigate difficult to translate amino acid sequences.
