Abstract

From the red-pink encrusting marine sponge Aplysilla rosea Barrois eight spongian diterpenes were isolated. Aplyroseol-1 was shown by spectroscopic methods to be (5R*, 7S*, 8R*, 9S*, 10R*, 13S*, 14S*, 15S*)-15, 17-epoxy-17-hydroxy-16-oxospongian-7-yl butyrate (5) and aplyroseol-2 to -6 to be (6)-(10) respectively. Two lactones (11) and (12), ambliofuran and its hexahydro derivative were also identified. A steroid fraction was also isolated.
