New lipids from the tunicate Cystodytes cf. dellechiajei, as PLA2 inhibitors.
Résumé
Cystodytes cf. dellechiajei collected off Djerba furnished new lipids, sphingosines 1, as inhibitors of phospholipase A2, along with inactive homologous ceramides 2. Structures were determined by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations.
