Callophycoic acids A-H (
1-
8) and callophycols A and B (
9 and
10) were isolated from extracts of theFijian red alga
Callophycus serratus, and identified by NMR, X-ray, and mass spectral analyses. Thesenatural products represent four novel carbon skeletons, providing the first examples of diterpene-benzoicacids and diterpene-phenols in macroalgae. Compounds
1-
10 exhibited antibacterial, antimalarial, andanticancer activity, although they are less bioactive than diterpene-benzoate macrolides previously isolatedfrom this red alga.
