Abstract

The first chemical study of a pleurobranchoidean opisthobranch is reported. Three new polypropionates (membrenone A. B and C) have been characterized from the marine gastropod Pleurobranchus membranaceus . Their anatomical localization in the skin of the mollusc suggests a potential defensive role against predators.
