Mj. Ortega et al., FULVINOL, A NEW LONG-CHAIN DIACETYLENIC METABOLITE FROM THE SPONGE RENIERA-FULVA, Journal of natural products, 59(11), 1996, pp. 1069-1071
The sponge Reniera fulva from Algeciras Bay, Spain, contains, in addit
ion to the five acetylenic compounds described previously, a new long-
chain acetylene named fulvinol (1). Its highly symmetric structure was
elucidated by interpretation of spectral data, and its absolute confi
guration was established using the Mosher method. Fulvinol (1) exhibit
ed cytotoxicity against four tumor cell lines (ED(50) = 1 mu g/mL).
