Dysidenin is an alkaloid toxin found in the marine sponge Lamellodysidea herbacea (previously known as Dysidea herbacea) which has a lethal effect on certain fish species and other marine organisms. The toxic mechanism of dysidenin is linked to its ability to inhibit iodide transport in thyroid cells. Dysidenin was originally isolated in 1977.
