Chemical Changes Under Heat Stress and Identification of Dendrillolactone, a New Diterpene Derivative with a Rare Rearranged Spongiane Skeleton from the Antarctic Marine Sponge <i>... by Andrea Prófumo, Conxita Avila, Adele Cutignano

“…Here, we also report our studies on the changes in the chemical arsenal of this sponge by slow temperature increase in aquaria experiments. Despite being a species capable of inhabiting volcanically active areas, with frequent water temperature fluctuations due to the existing fumaroles, the results show that diterpenes such as deceptionin, cadlinolide C, membranolide, and tetrahydroaplysulphurin-1 seem to be susceptible to the temperature increase, resulting in a trend to higher concentrations. …”
