Abstract :
A new cytotoxic oxylipin, plakevulin A (), possessing a cyclopentene ring and a levulinyl ester has been isolated from an Okinawan marine sponge Plakortis sp. The structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, and the absolute configurations at three chiral centers were assigned by spectroscopic data of the reductive product of and a modified Mosherʹs method. Plakevulin A () exhibited inhibitory activity against DNA polymerases α and γ.
