Abstract

Two polyacetylenes from the Red Sea sponge Petrosia sp., Petrosynol (1), and the novel marine natural product petrosolic acid (2) were found effective in inhibitory of the DNA polymerase activities of the reverse transcriptase of human immunodeficiency virus. The structure of compound 2 a novel C44 oxo-octahydroxy-trienetetraynoic carboxylic acid was determined mainly by NMR spectroscopy.
