Dictyota dichotoma (Phaeophyceae): Identification of the Sperm Attractant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Freshly released eggs of the marine brown alga Dictyota dichotoma secrete a substance that attracts spermatozoids. This compound has been identified as n-butyl-cyclohepta-2,5-diene. It is closely related to attractants in several other brown algae and confirms that a relation exists between phylogeny and attractant compounds.

Marine brown alga Dictyota dichotoma (Dictyotaceae) collected from the Karachi coast of the Arabian Sea has yielded three new C-16 oxidized seco-dolastanes (diterpenoids) named dichotenol-A, B and C. Their structures have been characterized with the aid of 2D-NMR spectroscopic techniques.
متن کاملAlgicidal diterpenes from the brown alga Dictyota dichotoma.
Bioassay-guided fractionation of an ethanol extract of the brown alga, Dictyota dichotoma, led to the isolation of a novel chlorine-containing perhydroazulene diterpene together with two known diterpenes, dictyolactone and sanadaol. The structure of the novel compound, named dictyol J, was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic information. Dictyolactone showed the highest algicidal activity ...
