Secondary metabolites and lipids in Chara globularis Thuill

Sterols, volatiles and lipid fatty acids were analysed in the fresh-water alga Chara globularis. Five sterols, two of them new for the genus, were identified, together with 12 fatty acids from lipids. The volatiles appeared to form a complex mixture, containing mainly acids (part of them chlorinated...

Summary:Sterols, volatiles and lipid fatty acids were analysed in the fresh-water alga Chara globularis. Five sterols, two of them new for the genus, were identified, together with 12 fatty acids from lipids. The volatiles appeared to form a complex mixture, containing mainly acids (part of them chlorinated), terpenoids, ketones, hydrocarbons, etc. No flavonoids have been found. Antibacterial activity of extracts has been tested, unpolar extracts showed moderate activity.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
