Objective:
To study the chemical constitutes of Acantophora spicifera.
Method:
Compounds were isolated by normal phase silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography, and reverse-phase HPLC, as well as recrystallization. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
Result:
Seven compounds were isolated from A. spicifera and their structures were identified as aplysin (1), loloilide (2), (R)-(-)-dehydrovomifoliol (3), uracil (4), thymine (5), 1-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl) benzene (6).
Conclusion:
The compounds were obtained from this genus for the first time. Compound 6 was firstly obtained from marine organisms.
