β¦ Synopsis
Plakotenin. a new carboxylic acid with cytotoxic acrivity was isolated from the Okinawan marine sponge PIak$s sp. and the struc~vc elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Marine sponges of the genus Plakortis have been a rich source of a variety of unique bioactive compounds such as polycyclic aromatic alkaloids* or peroxy aliphatic acids and esters.2 We have also isolated a cyclic peroxide, plakorin, as a potent Ca 2+-ATPase activator from an Okinawan Plakortis sponge.3 During our studies on bioactive substances from Okinawan marine organisms.4 we investigated extracts of another
