Isolation of peridininol, an anti-spasmodic carotenoid pigment, from Zoanthus sp.
Abstract
A C37 carotenoid pigment, peridininol, isolated from a marine Zoanthus sp. exhibited promising anti-spasmodic activity against nicotine and serotonin in in vitro studies using guinea pig ileum. Its purification and structure are presented along with 1H and 13C NMR assignments, aided by the 2D experiments.
