“…Furan fatty acids are commonly isolated from fish lipids, − but also from a number of marine organisms such as diatoms, crayfish, , ascidians, scallops, soft corals, and sponges. , Reports of their isolation from plant sources are less common. − The furan fatty acid (8 Z ,11 Z ,14 Z ,17 Z )-3,6-epoxyeicos-3,5,8,11,14,17-hexenoic acid isolated from the New Zealand sponge Hymeniacidon huraki 12 was responsible for the cytotoxicity of its extract (P-388; IC 50 13.4 μg/mL), whereas the methyl and stearyl esters of the acid showed inflammatory activity.…”
