Publication date: April 2020Source: Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, Volume 89Author(s): Yue-Yue Li, Xiao-Qing Tian, Ya-Nan Lu, Qing-Hua Han, Li-Yan Ma, Cheng-Qi FanAbstractThe marine phytoplankton Prorocentrum lima is one of the toxic and harmful microalgae which can cause red tides. In chemical investigation on cultured strain P. lima PL11, seven compounds were isolated and identified by spectroscopic data, including three typical shellfish toxins okadaic acid (OA, 1), OA methyl ester (2), and prorocentrolide (3), three terpenoids (4–6), and one polyketide (7). Compounds 5 and 6 should be derived from carotenoid fucoxanthin. Compounds 4–7 were isolated from this genus of microalgae for the first time.Graphical abstract
