Rossinones A and B, biologically active meroterpenoids from the Antarctic Ascidian, aplidium species

Rossinones A (1) and B (2), biologically active meroterpene derivatives, were isolated from an Antarctic collection of the ascidian Aplidium species and structurally characterized with spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of 1 was deduced by using the modified Mosher method. The rossino...

Description
Summary:Rossinones A (1) and B (2), biologically active meroterpene derivatives, were isolated from an Antarctic collection of the ascidian Aplidium species and structurally characterized with spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of 1 was deduced by using the modified Mosher method. The rossinones exhibit anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antiproliferative activities.
