Abstract

Three new polyketides, manzamenones L-N (1-3), have been isolated from an Okinawan marine sponge of the genus Plakortis. The structures of 1-3 were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Manzamenones L-N (1-3) were new dimeric fatty-acid derivatives consisting of a tetrahydroindenone with three carboxy groups and two hexadecanyl chains. Manzamenones M (2) and N (3) showed antimicrobial activity against several bacteria and fungi.
