The bioassay‐directed isolation of a marine brown alga, Ishige okamurae , afforded a carmalol derivative, diphlorethohydroxycarmalol. This compound exhibited inhibitory effects on HIV‐1 reverse transcriptase and integrase with IC 50 values of 9.1 µ m and 25.2 µ m , respectively. However, diphlorethohydroxycarmalol did not show an inhibitory activity against HIV‐1 protease. Moreover, diphlorethohydroxycarmalol nonaacetate obtained by acetylation and fucosterol failed to show any inhibitory activity against these viral enzymes. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
