N. Takada et al., Isolation and structures of hedaols A, B, and C, new bisnorditerpenes froma Japanese brown alga, J NAT PROD, 64(5), 2001, pp. 653-655
New bisnorditerpenes, hedaols A (1), B (2), and C (3), were isolated from t
he Japanese brown alga Sargassum sp. Their structures were determined by sp
ectroscopic analysis. The absolute stereocenter of 1 was determined by the
modified Mosher's method. Hedaols showed low cytotoxicity against P388 cell
s.
