The unstable isomeric compounds 5-hydroxy-7-prop-2-en-(E)-ylidene-7,7adihydro-2H-cyclopenta[b]pyran-6-one (1) and 5-hydroxy-7-prop-2-en-(Z)-ylidene-7,7adihydro-2H-cyclopenta[b]pyran-6-one (2), previously described as antimicrobialmetabolites from the sponge Ulosa sp., were isolated and identified Other Health Aids Products as major componentsof the ascidian Diplosoma virens.In this paper, full spectral data for 2 and complete 13CNMRdata for 1, based on 2D NMR measurements, are provided for the first time.Compounds 1 and 2 showed cytotoxity against HCT116 cells (human colorectal cancercells) by triggering Collection apoptotic cell death.
