Chemical Constituents from Sargassum fusiforme (Harv.) Setch.

Phytochemical investigation of Sargassum fusiforme (Harv.) Setch. led to the discovery of fifteen secondary metabolites, including three sterols, three monoterpenes, five nitrogenous compounds, two fatty acids, and two others. Among them, two compounds are new, while the other thirteen compounds were isolated from S. fusiforme for the first time. The structures of the two new compounds were identified by NMR and HR-ESI-MS data analyses, and the absolute configurations were established by comparing the calculated and experimental ECD spectroscopic data.
