Dichotenol-A, B and C: the C-16 oxidized seco-dolastanes from the marine brown alga Dictyota dichotoma (Huds.) Lamour

Nat Prod Res. 2004 Dec;18(6):543-9. doi: 10.1080/14786410310001622059.

Abstract

Marine brown alga Dictyota dichotoma (Dictyotaceae) collected from the Karachi coast of the Arabian Sea has yielded three new C-16 oxidized seco-dolastanes (diterpenoids) named dichotenol-A, B and C. Their structures have been characterized with the aid of 2D-NMR spectroscopic techniques.
