The red algal chamigrene sesquiterpene elatol (Structure 2.78) has been shown to deter feeding by reef fishes.93 Specimens of Laurencia elata from Southern Australia show a pronounced seasonal variation in elatol production. Incorporation studies using 14C acetate failed to confirm an acetate-mevalonate path for elatol production.125... [Pg.85]

Interest continues in the isolation and structural elucidation of halogenated sesquiterpenoids produced by marine organisms (e.g. algae). Many of these compounds are chamigrane derivatives and new members of this group include prepacifenol epoxide (89)46 from Aplysia californica, elatol (90)47 from Laurencia elata, nidifidienol (91)48 from Laurencia nidifica, and the compounds (92) and (93)49 from...
