Three new butenolide lipids from the caribbean gorgonian pterogorgia anceps
Three novel fatty acid derivatives (1-3), containing one or two butenolide moieties, were isolated from the Caribbean gorgonian Pterogorgia anceps and chemically characterized by spectroscopic methods and comparison with known compounds. The new molecules were structurally related to ancepsenolide (4), a typical metabolite from Pterogorgia species, which was not detected in this collection of P. anceps.
