Ei. Graziani et al., LOVENONE, A CYTOTOXIC DEGRADED TRITERPENOID ISOLATED FROM SKIN EXTRACTS OF THE NORTH-SEA DORID NUDIBRANCH ADALARIA-LOVENI, Tetrahedron letters, 36(11), 1995, pp. 1763-1766
The structure of lovenone (1), a degraded triterpenoid isolated from t
he dorid nudibranch Adalaria loveni, has been elucidated via spectrosc
opic analysis. Lovenone exhibited in vitro cytotoxicity against human
cancer cell lines.
