5-n-Alkylresorcinols from the green microalga Apatococcus constipatus.
Mixtures of six 5-n-alkylresorcinol (ARs) homologues were isolated from acetone extracts of four isolates of the unicellular green microalga Apataococcus constipatus. The pattern of homologues in different algal isolates was diverse. The predominant compounds were 1,3-dihydroxy-5-n-heneicosylbenzene (AR C(21:0)) and 1,3-dihydroxy-5-n-tricosylbenzene (AR C(23:0)) or 1,3-dihydroxy-nonadecylbenzene (AR C(19:0)), depending on the strain. ARs were identified by chromatographic and spectroscopic means.
