Abstract
A new sesterterpene tetronic acid (5) exhibiting antimicrobial activit y has been isolated from an Australian marine sponge, Psammocinia sp., and its structure secured by detailed spectroscopic analysis. The tet ronic acid (5) possesses almost identical spectroscopic characteristic s to, and is a structural isomer of, the known marine natural product (6) previously reported from an Australian sponge.
