A novel sesquiterpene-substituted benzoic acid, named dictyvaric acid (1), together with nine known compounds (2-10), have been isolated from the brown alga Dictyopteris divaricata Okam. The structure of 1 was elucidated as 3-[(decahydro-2-hydroxy-2,5,5,8a-tetramethyl-1-naphthalenyl)-methyl]-4-hydroxybenzoic acid by spectroscopic methods, including IR, FABMS, HR-FABMS, 1D and 2D NMR techniques. All compounds were obtained from this species for the first time.

Three new compounds (1-3) were isolated from the whole plant of Citrullus lanatus (Cucurbitaceae). The structures of these compounds were characterized by MS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR. The DPPH radical scavenging property of these compounds as well as vitamin C which served as the positive control group was determined. The result showed that Compound 3 exhibited the highest scavenging activity with an EC50 value of 0.34 mM while Compounds 1 and 2 showed scavenging activity of 0.52 and 5.37 mM respectively. The EC50 value for vitamin C is 1.36 mM. The result therefore showed that Compounds 1 and 2 possess better scavenging property than vitamin C and thus may serve as potent antioxidant drugs in oxidative stress management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
