Aplydilactone, isolated from the opisthobranch Aplysia kurodai, is an atypical oxylipin formed of two cyclopropanic chains with 20 carbon atoms. The aplydilactone monomer has strong similarities with constanolactones A and B, isolated from the red alga Constantinea simplex (see Chapter 13) aplydilactone is probably of food origin (Ojika et al, 1990 Gerwick, 1993 Gerwick, Nagle, and Protean, 1993).
