Terpenoids from a black sea bryozoan conopeum seuratum

Abstract

In the Bryozoan Conopeum seuratum six esterified monoterpene alcohols, three free monoterpene alcohols, three monoterpene ketones, two monoterpene aldehydes, four esters of diterpene acids, two diterpene acids and one triterpene acid were identified, most of them new for marine organisms. Some non-terpenoid compounds were identified too. Preliminary investigation on the terpenoids of the Black Sea sponge Halichondria panicea was performed and its terpenoid composition was compared with those of C.seuratum. © 1987, Walter de Gruyter.
