Xestosaprol D and E from the Indonesian marine sponge Xestospongia sp.

Chemical investigation of an extract of the marine sponge Xestospongia yielded a suite of pentacyclic compounds, including two new xestosaprol derivatives. Xestosaprol D (1) and E (2) are regioisomers, whose structures were defined through analysis of spectroscopic data.
