Abstract

Five new polyketides, biselides A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), and E (5), were isolated from the Okinawan ascidian Didemnidae sp. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis. Biselides A (1), B (2), and C (3) showed cytotoxicity against human cancer cells NCI-H460 and MDA-MB-231.
