Abstract:
Five spongian diterpenoids 2, 3, 6-8, previously found in sponges and nudibranchs from very distinct geographical areas, have been isolated from the Cantabrian nudibranch Chromodoris luteorosea. The terpenoids are mainly localized along the border of the mantle of the mollusk. All the diterpenoids are toxic to Gambusia affinis.
