Brown alga <i>Bifurcaria bifurcata</i> is a prolific source of bioactive acyclic (linear) diterpenes with high structural diversity. In the continuation of our investigations on Irish brown algae, we undertook an in-depth chemical study on the <i>n</i>-hexanes and chloroform subextracts of <i>B. bifurcata</i> that led to isolation of six new (<b>1</b>-<b>6</b>) and two known (<b>7</b>-<b>8</b>) acyclic diterpenes. Chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by a combination of 1D and 2D ...[more]
