Abstract
Large amounts of bacteriohopanoids have been isolated from the marine spong e Plakortis simplex. In addition to the common bacteriohopanetetrol, the ne w 12-methylbacteriohopanetetrol, with an unprecedented methylation at C-12, was isolated and characterized by an extensive NMR analysis. While bacteri ohopanetetrol is most likely of dietary origin, the unusual methylation at C-12 could be carried out by the sponge. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
