Abstract

Two new cytotoxic 24-membered macrolides, dolabelides C and D, were isolated from the Japanese sea hare Dolabella auricularia . Their gross structures were deduced by spectroscopic analysis including the 2D NMR technique, and their absolute stereochemistry was determined by means of chemical correlation with the known dolabelide A. Dolabelides C and D exhibited cytotoxicities against HeLa S 3 cells with IC 50 values of 1.9 and 1.5 μg/mL, respectively.
