RESUMEN
The sponge Dysidea herbacea was collected from the Mandapam Coast, Tamilnadu, India. Isolated gram quantities of hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ether (HO-PBDE) and semi-synthesized a series of new PBDEs derivatives and tested them for antibacterial and cytotoxic activities.

A total synthesis of yashabushidiol (1a), a linear diarylheptanoid having 1,3- diol system and its analogues has been achieved by alkynylation of 3-hydroxy-5-phenyl pentanal with substituted phenyl acetylenes. All the compounds have shown significant anti-proliferative activity on human leukemia (THP-1, U-937) and melanoma (A-375) cell lines. Compounds 2a and 2b were found to be most potent with an IC(50) of 12.82 microg/mL and 12.62 microg/mL, respectively, on THP-1 leukemia cell line.
