The phospholipid fatty acid composition of the Caribbean sponge Calyx podatypa was studied, and 85 different fatty acids were identified, in particular the 11-methylpentadecanoic acid and 10-tricosenoic acid, which have no literature precedence. Structural characterization was accomplished by means of gas chromatography - mass spectrometry on their corresponding methyl esters and dimethyl disulfide derivatives. The structure of 11- methylpentadecanoic acid was further confirmed by total synthesis (17% overall yield) starting from commercially available 10-hydroxydecanoic acid.

Phytochemical investigation from carnauba (Copernicia prunifera) wax led to the identification of sixteen dammarane–type triterpenes, including thirteen new characterized as: (24R*)-methyldammara-20,25-dien-3α-ol and a mixture of alkyl (24R*)-methyldammar-25-en-20-ol-3β-carboxylates, together with three previously described triterpenes: carnaubadiol, (24R*)-methyldammara-20,25-dien-3β-ol and (24R*)-24-methyldammara-20,25-dien-3-one. Moreover, four fatty alcohols (eicosanol, docosanol, tetracosanol and hexacosanol) as well as four sterols (cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and sitosterol) were also obtained. These compounds were isolated using classical chromatographic methods and their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods.
