Studies on antineoplastic constituents from chinese marine mollusc sea hare(Ⅰ) / 中国海洋药物

ABSTRACT

Two active compounds were isolated from chinese marine mollusc sea hare (Notarchus leachii cirrosus) by bioassay guided method with conidia of Pyricularia oryzae , and by a combination of extraction and purification with suitable solvent as well as multiple column chromatographies. Their structures were elucidated as (7 E) 1 acetoxy 8 chloro 7 (dichloromethyl) 3 methyoct 7 en 4 one (Ⅰ), (7 Z) 1 acetoxy 8 chloro 7 (dichloromethy l) 3 methyoct 7 en 4 one (Ⅱ). All compounds were obtained for the first time from this specimen and showed significant antineoplastic activities in vitro .
