abstract:
Chemical analysis of the secondary metabolite pattern of the sacoglossan
mollusc Elysia cf. expansa, collected along South Indian coasts, showed the presence of
the typical Caulerpa-derived sesquiterpene caulerpenyne (1) and two new minor cooccurring
metabolites, the compounds dihydrocaulerpenyne (4) and expansinol (5). The
chemical characterization of these molecules, structurally related to 1, is reported.
