Lf. Pitombo et al., OCCURRENCE OF CHAMIGRENES IN APLYSIA-DACTYLOMELA FROM BRAZILIAN WATERS, Boletin de la Sociedad Chilena de Quimica, 41(4), 1996, pp. 433-436
Chemical analysis of the ether-soluble extract from the marine mollusc
Aplysia dactylomela led to the isolation of four halogenated sesquite
rpenes: Prepacifenol epoxide 1, Johnstonol 2, Pacifidiene 3 and anothe
r diol 4, previously isolated from the marine red alga Laurencia and f
rom Aplysia californica. The structures of these metabolites were conf
irmed by comparison of their spectra; the present work reports the fir
st occurrence of these chamigrenes in Brazilian waters.
