Article Abstract

Three novel pentacyclic meroterpenoids with a unique dilactone structure containing C-C bonded bi- and tricyclic γ-lactone moieties, biyoulactones A-C (1-3), were isolated from the roots of Hypericum chinense, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. The relative and absolute stereochemistry of 1 was assigned by a combination of NOESY and a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

In our continuing search for structurally and biologically interesting metabolites from marine organisms and plants, we investigated the constituents of Okinawan marine sponges and Hypericum plants, resulting in the isolation of several new and unique natural products. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses and chemical conversions. Novel bromopyrrole alkaloids, nagelamides X-Z, were isolated from a sponge Agelas sp.
