A. Aiello et al., Novel bioactive sulfated alkene and alkanes from the Mediterranean ascidian Halocynthia papillosa, J NAT PROD, 63(11), 2000, pp. 1590-1592
Three sulfated alkene and alkanes-(R)-2,6-dimethylheptyl sulfate (1), 6-met
hylheptyl sulfate (2a), and (E)-5-octenyl sulfate (3a)-with cytotoxic activ
ity in vitro, have been isolated from the Mediterranean ascidian Halocynthi
a papillosa. The structures of the new compounds 2a and 3a have been elucid
ated by spectroscopic analysis.
