Sodium 1-(12-Hydroxy)octadecanyl Sulfate, an MMP2 Inhibitor, Isolated from a Tunicate of the Family Polyclinidae

Abstract
Sodium 1-(12-hydroxy)octadecanyl sulfate (1) was isolated from a marine tunicate as a matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) inhibitor. 1 The structure was elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compound 1 inhibited MMP2 with an IC50 value of 9.0 μg/mL.
