Bifiilco, G. Bruno, I. Minale, L. Riccio, R. Debitus, C. Bourdy, G. Vassas, A. Lavayre, J. (1995B) Bioactive prenyIhydroquinone sulfates and a novel C3 j furanoterpene alcohol sulfate from the marine sponge Ircinia sp. J. Nat. Prod., 58, 1444-9. 

A heptaprenylhydroquinone derivative (402) was isolated from an Indian sample of Ircinia fasciculata [341]. Ircinia spinulosa from the Adriatic contained three sulfated 2-prenylhydroquinones (403-405) that are toxic to brine shrimp [342]. An Ircinia sp. from New Caledonia contained a sulfated 2-prenylhydroquinone (406) and a sulfated furanoterpene (407) [343]. An Australian Sarcotragus sp. contained octaprenylhydroquinone sulfate (408) and nonaprenylhydroquinone sulfate (409) as inhibitors of al,3 fucosyltransferase VH [344]. 

Furthermore, new sesterterpenes and furanoterpenes containing chlorine or nitrogen and sulfate groups have... 

The first examples of sulfated furanoterpenes were potassium salts of sulfated enols of variabilin (18R), pal-inurin and fasciculatin, which were isolated from Irdnia variabilis, Irdnia fasdculata and Irdnia oros harvested in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
