Isolation and structure determination of the biologically active sphingolipids from marine sponge Haliclona species.
In a continuation to our study on the marine sponge Haliclona species we have isolated three new cytotoxic components of sphingolipids (1-3). Methanolysis of the sphingolipid 1a-d in methanol produces fatty acid methyl ester. GC/MS was used to determine the length. The structure of each isolated compound has been determined on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical evidence.
