Bicyclic C21 terpenoids from the marine sponge Clathria compressa.

ABSTRACT: Three new bicyclic C(21) terpenoids, clathric acid (1) and two N-acyl taurine derivatives, clathrimides A (2) and B (3), were isolated from the marine sponge Clathria compressa. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data. Clathric acid showed mild antibacterial activity against several Gram-positive bacteria.
