A New Glycerol Ether from a Marine Sponge Stelletta Species

  • Published : 2003.12.01

Abstract

A new glycerol ether has been isolated from a marine sponge Stelletta sp. By bioactivity-guided fractionation. The structure was established on the basis of NMR and MS analyses. The compound was evaluated for cytotoxicity against a small panel of five human tumor cell lines and exhibited significant cytotoxicity.
