[Isolation and identification of the secondary metabolites from Hydroclathrus clathratus].

Four compounds have been isolated from the algae Hydroclathrus clathratus collected from the South China Sea. Their structures were established as 1-glyceryl hexadecanoate (1), eicosanamide, N-[2'-hydroxy-1'-(hydroxymethyl) pentadecyl] (2), uracil (3), mannitol (4) by MS, 1HNMR and 13CNMR. Compound 1, 2 and 3 were isolated from this algae for the first time.
