Abstract

This paper reports the bioactive constituents of Fascaplysinopsis reticulata collected from the Benga Lagoon of the Fiji islands. The previous literature of this genus includes two aplysinopsins (monomeric tryptophans) from F. reticulata, as well as fascaplysin (Sa)(an apparent tryptophan dimer) and luffariellolide (3)(a seaterterpene) from Fascaplysinopsis sp. Our investigation of F. reticulata has revealed new seaterterpenes ...
