ABSTRACT
More than 50 new flavonoids derived from Annonaceae are reported in the last two decades. Many genuses in Annonaceae contain flavonoids having structural novelty and broad pharmacological activities. Due to the pharmacological interest of some of these compounds, chemical investigations on this topic have grown considerably in the decades. Here the biological activities of some of these flavonoids are also briefly discussed.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the chemical constituents of Ishige okamurai.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Compounds were isolated by Pyricularia oryzae bioassay-guided fractionation method in combination with extraction and partitionation as well as multi-chromatography. Their structures were determined by spectral analysis and chemical evidence.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Seven compounds were obtained and identified as (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-(11Z-octadecenoyl)-3-O-beta-D-galacto-pyranosyl glycerol (I), (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-myristoyl-3-O-(6-sulfo-alpha-D- quinovopyranosyl) glycerol (II), (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-(6'-sulfo-alpha-D- quinovopyranosyl) glycerol (III) and (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-(11Z-octadecenoyl)-3-O-(6'-sulfo-alpha-D- quinovopyranosyl) glycerol (IV), stearic acid (V), methyl myristate(VI) and palmitic acid (VII).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds I-VI were isolated from the alga for the first time while I, II and IV are new natural products. I-IV showed activity causing morphological abnormality of P. oryzae mycelia.</p>
