From the dichloromethane extract of the marine green alga Ulva fasciata Delile, collected from the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, three new fatty acids, namely, (E)-11-oxo-octadeca-12-enoic acid (1a), (E)-11-hydroxy-octadeca-12-enoic acid (2a) and 6-hydroxy-oct-7-enoic acid (3a) together with cholesterol were isolated. Analysis of the unpolar part of the extract using GC-MS detected the existence of further ten compounds, namely, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylsulfone, phenylacetamide, 6,10,14-trimethyl-pentadecan-2-one, 8-heptadecene, dodecane, tridecane, 4-oxo-pentanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, and the naturally new 1,1ʹ-bicyclohexyl. Structures of the isolated compounds 1a - 3a were confirmed by spectroscopic analyses including mass spectra (EI-MS, HR/ESIMS), 1D and 2D NMR experiments, and by the synthetic conversion into their corresponding methyl esters 1b - 3b. The algal extract and its components were comparatively examined against several pathogenic microorganisms, and brine shrimps for cytotoxicity.
从埃及地中海海岸采集的海洋绿藻Ulva fasciata Delile的二氯甲烷提取物中,分离出三种新的脂肪酸,分别是(E)-11-氧代十八碳十二烯酸(1a)、(E)-11-羟基十八碳十二烯酸(2a)和6-羟基辛-7-烯酸(3a),以及胆固醇。使用GC-MS分析提取物的非极性部分检测到另外十种化合物的存在,分别是二甲基亚砜、二甲基砜、苯乙酰胺、6,10,14-三甲基十五烷-2-酮、8-庚十七烯、十二烷、十三烷、4-氧代戊酸、十六烷酸和天然新的1,1'-双环己基。通过光谱分析,包括质谱(EI-MS,HR/ESIMS)、1D和2D NMR实验,以及合成转化为相应的甲酯1b-3b,确认了分离化合物1a-3a的结构。对海藻提取物及其组分进行了抗多种病原微生物和对溴盐虾的细胞毒性的比较研究。
