5,9,23-Triacontatrienoic methyl ester, an elastase inhibitor from the marine sponge Chondrilla nucula

Lipids. 2002 Nov;37(11):1109-11. doi: 10.1007/s11745-002-1007-y.

Abstract

A polyethylenic fatty ester was isolated from the marine sponge Chondrilla nucula. The structure was elucidated through NMR spectral data and MS analysis as 5,9,23-triacontatrienoic methyl ester 1. Compound 1 is an elastase inhibitor [ID50 = 10 microg/mL (2 x 10(-5) M)].
