Trihydroxylated linear diterpenes from the brown alga Bifurcaria bifurcata (Fucales, Phaeophyta)

摘要

The most prolific species of marine algae concerning the number of metabolites are those belonging to the Rhodomelaceae family for the red algae and those of the Dictyotaceae in the case of brown seaweeds. Important contribution has also been providedby Sargassaceae, in particular with the genus Cystoseira. For these two last families, compounds are different: for the Dictyotacean species, cyclic diterpenes have been isolated while acyclic diterpenoids and meroditerpenoids have been described for the Sargassaceae (Blunt et al., 2007).
