The first enantioselective total synthesis of epiplakinic acid F (1) was achieved through a pivotal step involving a radical-mediated asymmetric peroxidation of vinylcyclopropanes with molecular oxygen to construct highly substituted 1,2-dioxolanes. Subsequent conversions of the chiral 1,2-dioxolanes led to total synthesis of epiplakinic acid F (1) and the confirmation of its absolute configuration. The enantiomer of epiplakinic acid F methyl ester (2) was also prepared.

Plakortinic acids A (2) and B (3), two polyketide endoperoxides with a bicyclo[4.2.0]octene unit, were isolated as minor constituents from the sponge-sponge symbiotic association Plakortis halichondrioides-Xestospongia deweerdtae, along with known epiplakinic acid F (1).

Two new five-membered-ring polyketide endoperoxides, epiplakinic acid F methyl ester (1) and epiplakinidioic acid (3), and a peroxide-lactone, plakortolide J (2), were isolated from the Puerto Rican sponge Plakortis halichondrioides, along with two previously reported cyclic peroxides, 4 and 5. The structures of the new metabolites were determined by spectroscopic and chemical analyses. The absolute stereostructures of 1, 2, and 5 were determined by degradation reactions followed by application of Kishi's method for the assignment of absolute configuration of alcohols.

Four beta-carbolines, plakortamines A-D, two cyclic peroxides, epiplakinic acids G and H, and two related gamma-lactones, (2S,4R)- and (2R,4R)-2,4-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-16-phenylhexadecanoic acid 1,4-lactones, were isolated from the deep-water sponge Plakortis nigra from Palau. The structures of the eight new metabolites were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data. Most of the metabolites inhibited the HCT-116 human colon tumor cell line.

Two new five-membered-ring peroxide acids, plakinic acid F (3) and epiplakinic acid F (4), and a new peroxide-lactone, plakortolide F (5), were isolated from a sponge of the genus Plakinastrella collected from Felicite Island, Seychelles. The structures were elucidated through spectral analysis. The free acids 3 and 4 exhibit moderate antifungal activity against Candida albicans with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 25 micrograms/mL (SDB) and 3.
