The new 10-hydroxydocosapolyenoic acids (10R,7Z,11E,13E,16Z,19Z)-10-hydroxydocosa-7,11,13,16,19-pentaenoic acid (1a) and (10R*,4Z,7Z,11E,13Z,16Z,19Z)-10-hydroxydocosa-4,7,11,13,16,19-hexaenoic acid (2a) were isolated as methyl esters 1b and 2b, respectively, following CH2N2 treatment of the EtOH extract of the scleractinian coral Madrepora oculata from deep-water of the southern Indian Ocean. From the same species from the Norwegian Sea, 1b and the methyl ester 3b of the new (10R,7Z,11E,13Z,16Z)-10-hydroxydocosa-7, 11,13,16-tetraenoic acid (3a) were analogously isolated, while from the untreated extract, the free acid 3a itself could be isolated. The absolute configuration of 1a and 3a was established by the chiral exciton coupling of the C(10) benzoate esters 1c and 3c. Other known 10-hydroxydocosapolyenoic acids and 8-hydroxyeicosapolyenoic acid were also isolated from M. oculata from both locations. These results imply the intervention of a rare lipooxygenase with high omega 13 specificity. In an examination of several other deep-water scleractinians, hydroxypolyenoic acids were found only in Lophelia pertusa from the northeastern Atlantic Ocean.
