Abstract
The sea hare Aplysia punctata from Sancti Petri (Cadiz, Spain) contain s four new unusual acetates of linear polyhalogenated monoterpenes (5- 8) together with four known cyclic derivatives (1-4). The structures w ere elucidated by interpretation of spectral data. It is suggested tha t the new constituents of A. punctata might be biotransformation produ cts. Compounds 6-8 showed significant in vitro cytotoxicity against fo ur tumor cell lines.
