M. Stewart et al., AVAROL AND RELATED-COMPOUNDS FROM THE NEW-ZEALAND MARINE SPONGE DYSIDEA SP, Australian Journal of Chemistry, 50(4), 1997, pp. 341-347
Bioassay and t.l.c. guided separation of extracts from the New Zealand
marine sponge Dysidea sp. has led to the isolation of avarol (1), six
other known compounds (2)-(4) and (6)-(8), and seven new compounds (9
)-(15). All but one of these, compound (8), are related to avarol. The
structures of all the compounds have been established by spectroscopi
c methods.
