Abstract
The structure of a mixture of ceramides (1) derived from 2-amino-4(E)-alken e-1,3-diol sphingenines with C-22, C-23, and C-24 saturated fatty acid resi dues from red alga Ceratodictyon spongiosum ZANARDINI (Rhodymeniaceae) cont aining the symbiotic sponge Sigmadocia symbiotica has been elucidated on th e basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence. In addition, one new sterol , n-nonadecanoic acid 24-methylenecholesteryl ester (2), and six known ster ols were also isolated from the marine organisms.
