Abstract

A chemical study on the anti-inflammatory components of the red alga Gracilaria verrucosa led to the isolation of new 11-deoxyprostaglandins (1–4), a ceramide (5), and a C16 keto fatty acid (6), along with known oxygenated fatty acids (7–14). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR and MS data. The absolute configurations of compounds 1– 5 were determined by Mosher's method. The anti-inflammatory activity of the isolated ...
