Five antioxidative substances in the brown alga Eisenia bicyclis were isolated by silicic acid column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. They were identified to be phloroglucinol and its polymers, namely eckol, phlorofucofuroeckol A, dieckol, and 8, 8'-bieckol on the basis of spectroscopic evidence (IR, FABMS, and 1H and 13C NMR). Their potent antioxidant effect extended the induction time of autoxidation of methyl α-linolenate.
