The discovery of anti-cancer compounds in Cryptotheca crypta in 1950 initiated a wave of bioprospecting efforts focused on marine sponges. Jaspis sp., a marine sponge, has been reported to exhibit anti-cancer activity against human colorectal cancer. A sample of Jaspis sp., collected from the waters off Pulau Banggi, Sabah, Malaysia, was analyzed through a non-polar metabolite survey. The non-polar crude extract was profiled using UHPLC-QTOF in both positive and negative modes. The detected metabolic features were clustered, and representative features were tentatively identified through a combination of spectral database searches (using various MS2 spectral databases) and in silico compound identification. This dataset provides a valuable foundation for future bioprospecting endeavors involving Jaspis sp. publisher: Elsevier Inc. date: 2025-03-22 type: Article type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/44704/1/FULLTEXT.pdf identifier: Jiunn, Dexter Herng Lee and Yee, Soon Ling and Lok, Christopher Yung Voo and Mok Sam Lum and Jualang Azlan Gansau (2025) Characterization of metabolic features derived from the non-polar metabolite UHPLC-QTOF dataset of Jaspis sp.
