Abstract

A new 12-membered macrolide, symbiodinolactone A, was isolated from the culture broth of symbiotic marine dinoflagellate Symbiodinium sp. The gross structure of symbiodinolactone A was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, and the relative configuration was elucidated by the J-based configuration analysis and density-functional theory calculations. Symbiodinolactone A is the new 12-membered macrolide possessing an E double bond between C-4 and C-5, a branched methyl group at C-7, and a 1,2,3-trihydroxybutyl group at C-11. Symbiodinolactone A is the first usual size macrolide and the first non-nitrogen-containing macrolide from dinoflagellate Symbiodinium sp. Symbiodinolactone A might be generated by the unexplained dinoflagellate polyketide biosynthetic machinery.
