J Nat Prod. 1990 Nov-Dec;53(6):1615-8. doi: 10.1021/np50072a041.

Abstract

From a sample of the red alga Plocamium cartilagineum, four polyhalogenated monoterpenes [1-4] were isolated and characterized with (3R*, 4R*)-1-bromo-7-chloromethyl-3,4-dichloro-3-methyl-1E,5E,7-octatrie ne [1] being a new compound. Also reported are antifungal, antibacterial, and molluscicidal activities, as well as the brine shrimp toxicity of these metabolites.
