Chemical studies of the Caribbean red alga Vidalia obtusaloba have resulted in the isolation of two new bromophenolic metabolites, vidalols A and B (1,2). The new compounds were discovered as part of an organized effort to isolate new naturally-occurring anti-inflammatory agents with a focus upon those which may function through the inhibition of phospholipase A2.
