Sargassum micracanthum

A few reports on anti-CMV compounds of marine origin belonging to other structural types have also been found in the literature. Examples included two plastoquinones isolated from the brown alga Sargassum micracanthum which was found to have potent antiviral activity against human CMV [114], and pseudopterosin P, Fig. (9) from the sea whip Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae [98].
