Abstract :
Wiedendiol-A and -B, novel sesquiterpene-hydroquinones which inhibit cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), have been isolated from the marine sponge Xestospongia wiedenmayeri. Additional related marine natural products were also evaluated for CETP inhibition. Compounds that inhibit the activity of CETP may find utility as antiatherosclerosis therapy.
