Identification of an Unsaturated Hydroxy Fatty Acid Antitumor Oxylipin from Brown Alga Scytosiphon lomentaria: (E)-6-Hydroxyoctadec-4-enoic Acid (NP-011548)
Marine brown algae are an important source of bioactive metabolites with promising anticancer potential. Scytosiphon lomentaria has repeatedly shown selective antitumor activity, although the active metabolite associated with its lipophilic fractions had not previously been identified. Here, five solvent extracts were...
