Ectyoplasia ferox

The first synthesis for the 10,13-dimethyltetradecanoic acid (3), a fatty acid first identified in the sponge Ectyoplasia ferox [8], was also recently accomplished [7]. This synthesis began with commercially available 9-bromo-l-nonanol, which upon reaction with triphenylphosphine resulted...

Spicellamides A and B are two new cyclohexadepsipep-tides isolated from the fungus Spicellum roseum assodated with Ectyoplasia ferox collected in Dominica. Both were cytotoxic to neuroblastoma cells (Kralj et al., 2007). 

The plakosides A-D form a particular group of P-galacto-sylceramides with an isoprenyl group on the hydroxyl at position 2 of galactose and a cyclopropane on the fatty chain of the amide part These compounds have been isolated from Plakortis simplex (Homosderophorida) and Ectyoplasia ferox (Poecilosclerida) harvested in the Caribbean. Plakosides A and B are immunosuppressants (Costantino et al, 1997 Costantino, Fattorusso, and Mangoni, 2001b). The...

Ectyoplasides A and B are two other glycosides of nor-lanostane, but in this carbon skeleton the methyl 30 has disappeared, and the only difference between ectyoplasides A and B is the degree of oxidation of carbon 29, methyl in A and a primary alcohol in B (Cafieri, Fattorusso, and Taglialatela-Scafati, 1999b). Both glycosides were isolated from the spedes Ectyoplasia ferox harvested in the Bahamas (San Salvador Island). Another sample of the...
