Molecular networking prospection and characterization of terpenoids and C-acetogenins in Brazilian seaweed extracts.

Molecular networking (MN) can efficiently dereplicate extracts and pure compounds. Red algae of the genus are rich in halogenated secondary metabolites, mainly sesquiterpenes and C-acetogenins. Brown algae of the genus produce mainly C-hydrocarbons, sesquiterpenes and sulfur-containing compounds, while and are reported to contain mainly diterpenes.
