Abstract

Marine Algae of order Chordariales are rich resources of bioactive metabolites. Methanolic extracts of the brown alga /shige Okamurae exhibited potent antioxidative and butyrylcholinesterase(BChE) inhibitory effects. Bio-guided purification [solvent partition, ODS flash, silica flash, gel-filtration on Sephadex LH 20, ODS HPLC] of them gave a compound 1. Its structure was elucidated by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data of 1 and comparison of literature data. A variety of bioassay for 1 is in progress.
